Yikes. A great way to cut carbon emissions though.

‘For the US economy, much is at stake, with the inbound travel market a major revenue-earner worth $155 billion in overseas visitor expenditure, and with millions of Americans employed in the tourism industry.

‘In 2024, before the Trump administration took office and introduced its extreme version of enhanced vetting, more than 710,000 Australians visited the US, a nearly 17 per cent increase on the previous year.

‘Now the giant French hotel multinational Accor has warned that bookings from Europe to the US for this northern summer’s high season are down 25 per cent. Airlines such as the UK-based Virgin Atlantic are also sounding the alarm to investors.

‘Extraordinarily, in the past week, experts, via the pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post, have been recommending that foreign travellers at least delete “anything you wouldn’t want someone to read or see from your device before visiting the US”.’

Not really what you are asking for, but I am very fond of the Starship Geomorphs by Robert Pearce. But they are for sections of starships or space stations or ground buildings at that sort of tech level.

Which probably isn't what you mean by "otherworldy elven city."

(Note that while they are designed for the #Traveller Space #ttrpg, they aren't particularly specific to that game or setting.)

Been working on some Traveller adventure writing set in the wilds around some “extralegal” ports.

And I’ve been really thinking…

What is the difference between a bunch of heavily armed outlaws building a base, and “trading” with their neighbors and a (polity? Empire?) other then scale and treaties?
