Re: Toons IIRC there was a Road Runner cartoon where Wile E. held up a sign wondering about the Road Runner doing that in defiance of the Law of Gravity. The Road Runner holds up his own sign in reply saying that He'd never studied law. So I'd leave something like that to a GM ruling based on situation. Alternatively is to buy flight with limitation Only when unaware of flying.

Re: Manhunt: The Greatest Game On Earth The concept reminds me of Hardwired by Walter Jon Williams where the goal of people on the Earth are trying to earn their way out of the mud and onto the orbital stations.

Re: Accretion Disk Civilizations? I actually have started on a world/campaign that was inspired by Integral Trees/Smoke Ring. Really can't say more since a number of my potential players might be lurking around here.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares I foresee the need to bid one billion credits for that rare Barussian crystal that will allow for completion of the Death Star.

Re: How do you build Drives? I'm also partial to Weber's system. I've been working on a 5th edition version to use for a campaign that I am slowly developing.

Re: What effects would you see on a terrestial planet in a binary system? I've read the first two Helliconia Spring and Helliconia Summer. They were enjoyable enough that I got the third volume Helliconia Winter. Unfortunately, its been a couple of years and I still haven't read it. And I seem to recall that Aldiss had scientific consultants in developing Helliconia. I guess I'm going to have to make this my next book.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Now Mr. Bill you just need to answer Mr. Sluggo's three questions. OHH NOO!!!

Re: Brainstorming an alternate Europe Again, this is something that is hard to definitively say. Much of the interwar thinking by Imperial Japan was influenced by the fate of Germany during the Great War. They realized that the limited sources of certain strategic resources by Germany and the vulnerability to blockade by Britain led the Japanese to decide that they needed supplies of these resources that could not be interrupted by a hostile power.

Re: Brainstorming an alternate Europe It's probable without a unified Germany but by no means certain since Prussia would still be a player in European affairs.

Re: Brainstorming an alternate Europe Of course, one could go a little further back and postulate a Europe where instead of dissolving the Holy Roman Empire to form the Confederation of the Rhine, Napoleon I might have forced Emperor Francis II to cede the crown to him. This would leave Germany fragmented into 300 some odd 'states' some no larger than a single town.

Re: Percy Jackson and the Olympians My wife is a school librarian who says they can't keep the series on the shelves. Definitely a good read according to her. She plans to bring one home (if she can get a copy returned ) for me to read.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares On the opposite side of this particular spectrum. Married with Vulcans "That is illogical"
