Re: What Fantasy/Sci-Fi book have you just finished? Please rate it... My first Gemmell book was "Legend", book one of the Drenai series. A damn fine read! I own the second...."The King Beyond the Gate". Based upon what Oddhat has stated, I plan to read TKBTGate and the other Drenai books before reading "The Sword in the Storm" and the subsequent Rigante books. I have the opposite view of the "Stones of Power" books. I like the early ones, but not the last 'Jon Shannow' books. Which is a shame, because 'Post Apoc' is a sub-genre I have a strong urge to explore. Oddhat, You are the second person I know to recommend "Echoes of the Great Song" as the finest Gemmell book.

Re: What Fantasy/Sci-Fi book have you just finished? Please rate it... Thanks, Oddhat! So, which IS your favorite Gemmell series?

Re: What Fantasy/Sci-Fi book have you just finished? Please rate it... Oddhat, I have Gemmell's "Sword in the Storm" book on my shelf of 'soon to read books'. What is your opinion on that book and the series it starts?

Re: What Fantasy/Sci-Fi book have you just finished? Please rate it... Rage! Still the crazy Kiwi?

Re: What Fantasy/Sci-Fi book have you just finished? Please rate it... Zorn, you old reptile!!! How's it hanging?

Re: What Fantasy/Sci-Fi book have you just finished? Please rate it... The Dresden Files is a very good series. Only one of the books has disappointed me thus far...and it really wasn't that bad. It was simply not as good as the others, IMO. Butcher redeemed himself in my eyes with the very next book and I have high hopes for 'Proven Guilty'. I am enjoying Butcher's fantasy series (halfway throught the first book). The man is not a 'one-trick-pony' and is capable of successfully writing in two very different genres.

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) People like Warp9, Keith Curtis, Surbrook, Killer Shrike, etc. give a tremendous amount back to our hobby. I am in frequent awe of these websites. Nice job, Rob! (Did I say hobby? I meant our addiction!)

Re: Maintaining the Mystery This is a good idea...

Re: Maintaining the Mystery

Re: Maintaining the Mystery I am willing to try this Mystery sidebar thingie. If it doesn't work, we can always go back to typical roleplaying conventions.

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) Sav, I agreed to being a mercenary and to originating from the place where the campaign starts. Do you want our two characters to know each other from prior to the start of the campaign? I can play it either way...

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) Warp9, I suggest hosting the game at Hero Central. It has a chat feature that Sav can use, die rollers, and lots of Herophiles (most of which are darn fine people) from which to draw players.

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) This requires that you... a)possess some charm b)you can turn the corners of your mouth upwards... I see two problems on the horizon. The only charm you got is in your cereal box! And being hit with frozen trout makes one angry! Edit...I am senile. Sav is getting hit with a frozen trout in Transit City 2. Wrong game! Me stupid!

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game)

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) Leaning towards a Gromm-arr Martial Artist! I could go for being Sav's deputy or hired muscle.

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) My charm reptile spell is still going strong it seems...

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) Number 4, Equipment Pools, sounds the most fair to me. Dark Champions has ways to handle this in detail (at least the old one did).

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) I very much prefer interacting with other players instead of going solo. I like the 'clean up the town' idea. I prefer talking with the other players and creating a well-balanced group instead of the typical PBeM "everyone builds what they want and balance be damned" approach.

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) I emailed Warp9 your work email. Hope that is ok?

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game)

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) Sav, I hope you will become a player in Mimm. After numerous emails to Rob(Warp9), I feel that the two of you would get along very well. Please join!

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) Warp9, I like the big map! The new 4-armed creature is a big improvement. I believe that it has more of a science fiction feel to it... Boz

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) Bad hair day, Grond? SMASH!!!! uhhhhhhhhhhh I call dibs on the Gromm-arr!

Re: Mimm (sci-fantasy game) I am very interested!
