  5. Need a name for a windy character

    Re: Need a name for a windy character

     

    Thanks to everyone for their suggestions! There were some really great names, but one jumped out at me.

     

     

     

    Saw this one and knew the winner when I saw it. I'll hit Query with the rep stick later. I'm fresh out.

     

    Glad to be of service.

    It's also without exploiting the fact that no one can remember a string of eight random characters' date=' so the password is likely [i']written down[/i] somewhere near the computer.

    One advantage to living in the middle of nowhere is that no one is going to try to steal your passwords from your end.

  10. Give me a head with Hair!

    Re: Give me a head with Hair!

     

    The one idea that I loved (though nobody else seemed to care about) was using the hair as lockpicks. It could really manipulate any mechanical device easily with very fine precision.

     

     

    Cockatrice has weak prehensile hair, but she uses it for this very purpose in "The Cockatrice: Carpe Demon" by yours truly. Coming to an e-reader near you sometime this summer.

  11. More space news!

    You heard the man; time travel is possible!

     

    CAll me back when someone can adequately define the word "time." We infer time from our experience of sequential displacement, but how this experience comes about is an utter mystery. We can predict the behavior of objects as their speed changes in relativistic ways compared to other things, but we still haven't the foggiest idea of what causes "intervals."

  15. Who are the copies/pastiches/tributes/captain ersatz in your campaigns?

    Re: Who are the copies/pastiches/tributes/captain ersatz in your campaigns?

     

    Thunder: A gender swapped Flash. One of a long line of mother to daughter inheritors of speed powers.

     

    Legion: A Superman/Captain America mashup. Superman's powers with Cap's origins. He was pulled out of service after WWII because the US Govt considered him too valuable to risk in the field. "What if someone else manages to kill him. We'll be at a disadvantage!" So they took him off the table until they could figure out how to replicate his powers. "If we can make lots of him, he'll be expendable!" It's been almost a century and they've had no luck replicating his powers. So now he serves as the front man for a secret metahuman team, taking the credit for the work that other people do. He is not entirely happy with the arrangement, but since he doesn't seem to be aging, he's learned to take a long view. He had generally parleyed his influence to prevent his team from being forced into the role of assassins or regime changers.

  19. Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

    I can assure you the Helmsmisstress of the Tyrant Sun has nothing but the utmost admiration, love and respect for the God-Emperor Of Man.

     

    At least, in so far as he makes space-travel easier. Without him we'd all be stuck on planets.... and that just will Not do.

     

    And so far half the crew of the Tyrant Sun has picked up on the fact that the captain is clueless, and have begun parsing any insane thing they want to do, "The lord captain commands me to [fill in insane thing]!"

  24. Have you written a story?

    Re: Have you written a story?

     

    I know this is necro-threading' date=' but I just read Sparrow's Flight and was blown away by how good it was. I wish I had bought it new, QuerySphinx deserves more royalties, IMHO.[/quote']

     

    I'm glad you liked it. FWIW Cockatrice: Carpe Demon should be out in e-format later this year. And it's eight years of writing practice better than Sparrow!

     

    And if you really want to send me money Sparrow's Flight is available on Kindle. :P

    On a bipedal frame? I think they should be shaped like centaurs.

     

    Lucius Alexander

     

    The palindromedary suggests just changing the shape of heads to make them longer, narrower, and tapering. Wait, where have we seen that?

     

    Talk about extreme sexual dimorphism. What we need are uterine replicators.
