I have a fairy setting which has purebloods (fair folk who retain all of their fay qualities including extremely long life expectancies unless they succumb to "world weariness" or violence), changelings (fair folk who have been tainted by having being transformed into human or beast forms for extended periods of time), halflings (the result of intercourse between mundane life forms and the fay, which includes any "human" who can cast magic, as well near-humans who have some other kind of superhuman power), and humans (who can only cast magic if they acquire a fay familiar). But I digress. Except that I kind of like the idea that the reason why the sidhe of your setting now only have moderately extended lifespans is because their "purebloods" all left or died due to lack of magic.

Well, probably not. Certain things, like for example anything involving time travel or the secret and highly illegal genetic engineering station that the E-D visited early in the series, would be classified information. But there would certainly be holoprograms containing many episodes events.

Re: What other anti-human hate groups exist besides the anti-mutant ones?

Re: What Fiction Book (other than Science Fiction or Fantasy) have you recently finis Deadly Stakes, by J.A. Jance. Spunky amateur detective is asked to investigate the murder of a guy's ex-wife because the cops like the guy and his new fiancee for it and their investigation consists of questioning the two of them until one of them decides to rat out the other, or be martyr. Either way's good with them. Mostly runs on the personality of the heroine so it's a good thing she's likable.

Re: What Fantasy/Sci-Fi book have you just finished? Please rate it... Crown of Vengeance. It's interesting to come to realize that there isn't a single human character in all 550 pages.

Re: What other anti-human hate groups exist besides the anti-mutant ones?

Re: What other anti-human hate groups exist besides the anti-mutant ones? It has always amused me that so many people reject the idea that people would be more hostile to certain origins in a multi-origin world. Their argument is tantamount to claiming that people couldn't have had a special animus against Jewish bankers, industrialists and professionals in the 30s. In any case the critical thing about creating such hate groups, is that you need a big enough pool of known instances of the targeted group to excite the reaction. So yeah, on the world I named "Ferrous" there is in fact an AI hate group. On Weird War II, Silver Dagger is part of a much smaller "monster" hunting group because very few monsters and witches are known to exist. Doctor Meridian's crusade against aliens consists of nothing but himself, his two agents Orion and Andromeda, and occasionally some mercenaries he hires, because almost nobody else even believes in the alien menace he's trying to expose.

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Final Fantasy Island Actually sounds kind of gruesome.

Re: Genocide, 6th edition. Of course they were combining Project Wideawake with the Hellfire Club.

Re: Sliders Earth Ape is one of the Silver Age Sentinels parallels. They had the idea before Marvel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Apes

Re: Lex Luthor Is Worse Than Useless Wild Cards, I suspect. But it was actually inspired by the game mechanics for gadgeteering in Superworld, which pioneered the modular gadget pool.

Re: Sliders Looking for specifically superhero worlds you have to first cover the classics 1. The Mirror Universe. This isn't necessarily a world which has a simplistic alignment reversal. It could be a world where a hero is still a hero, but his psychological limitations are reversed, so that the bad tempered hot head is relaxed to the point of being lazy or the anti-villains motivated by leftwing convictions instead become hedonistic and materialistic selfish brats. 2. The world with different sex counterparts for all the characters (making it also a world in which women are far more dominant in fields like politics, the military and academia.) 3. The world where the counterparts of the characters came along a lot earlier and they are now mostly retired leaving their hypothetical children behind to carry the torch.

You know, the standard variant on the default "Our World But..." setting is the one where gadgeteers accelerate our technological advance. But what about the other option? Consider the many ways technology can go wrong, or be made to go wrong when supers are added to the mix. Networked computers invite the spontaneous generation of skynets, and can be exploited by people with electrical control powers. Radio and telephone can be mediums of transmission for mind control music. For every hundred thousand people one kills with a nuclear weapon, you'll have one survivor with an origin and a lot of anger issues. Godzilla eats nuclear power plants. So maybe the result of living in a comic book universe isn't just a lot of isolated gadgets that don't have much impact on day to day life. The potential risks involved in certain technologies might lead to a world in which the application of things like telecommunications, atomic power, and GM foods are actively retarded because they live in a world in which the wildest, most paranoid predictions of the resulting dangers are guaranteed to come true without the development of much more comprehensive safeguards to manage the risks. And of course the stereotypical motivation of the mad scientist is frustration that the public and the establishment fear the consequences of their research in advance.
