I want to do something like Pendragon, in spaaaaace!
Just randomly create a rock, or garden world...
Lesser of two d% rolls for hundreds stacked on the bigger roll; 54 and 29 becomes 2954 meter rock, a couple of miles. Or randomly plot three d%-d% for XYZ coordinates, +25, -73, +17, a total of 79 lyr from Sol... randomly pick a star by type and find a mass and luminousity.
Spectral Class | Color | Surface Temperature | Percentage of Main-Sequence Stars |
O | Blue | 30,000–60,000 K | ~0.00003% |
B | Blue-white | 10,000–30,000 K | ~0.13% |
A | White | 7,500–10,000 K | ~0.6% |
F | Yellow-white | 6,000–7,500 K | ~3% |
G | Yellow (like our Sun) | 5,300–6,000 K | ~7.6% |
K | Orange | 3,900–5,300 K | ~12% |
M | Red (red dwarfs) | Under 3,900 K | ~76.5% |

A list of landmass and ocean at least 1/2 billion km^2.
53 under 56% is 53 m. km^2 land
44 over 43% is 44 m. km^2 ocean, 97 total
58 over 52% is 58 m. km^2 ocean, 165 total
50 under 50% is 50 m. km^2 land, 215 total
39 over 35% is 39 m. km^2 ocean, 254 total
50 over 39% is 50 m. km^2 ocean, 304 total
45 under 46% is 45 m. km^2 land, 349 total
41 under 95% is 41 m. km^2 land, 390 total
56 over 38% is 56 m. km^2 ocean, 446 total
43 under 79% is 43 m. km^2 land, 489 total
33 under 100% is 33 m. km^2 land, 522 total
53+50+45+41+43+33
103+86+76
189+76
265 land out of 522, 257 ocean out of 522
This is more than half land; I would like to run a Monte Carlo simulation of this, to see what we are likely have, land and hydrographic ratio.
