  5. Re: Outside the Box powers I don't see how that special effect matches up with the mechanics at all.
  6. Re: Ctrl+V [h=2]The Dream Thief[/h]Publisher : Medallion PressAuthor : Helen A. Rosburg Category : FICTION > Fantasy > Historical Someone is murdering young, beautiful women in mid-sixteenth century Venice. Even the most formidable walls of the grandest villas cannot keep him out, for he steals into his victims' dreams. Holding his chosen prey captive in the night, he seduces them to death. Now Pina's cousin, Valeria, is found dead, her lovely body ravished. It is the final straw for Pina's overbearing fiance', Antonio, and he orders her confined within the walls of her mother's opulent villa on Venice's Grand Canal. It is a blow not only to Pina, but to the poor and downtrodden in the city's ghettos, to whom Pina has been an angel of charity and mercy. But Pina does not chafe long in her lavish prison, for soon she too begins to show symptoms of the midnight visitations; a waxen pallor and overwhelming lethargy. Fearing for her daughter's life, Pina's mother removes her from the city to their estate in the country. Still, Pina is not safe. For Antonio's wealth and his family's power enable him to hide a deadly secret. And the murderer manages to find his intended victim. Not to steal into her dreams and steal away her life, however, but to save her. And to find his own salvation in the arms of the only woman who has ever shown him love.
  7. Re: Ares Saves the World! If the character asks him why, he cheerfully explains that MAD annoys him because as long as deterrence works, the best militaries stay away from each other, and if it ever fails, the result is like (and he uses a crude metaphor involving unsatisfactory lovemaking).
  8. Your character discovers that the infamous Greek god of war has been searching for an entity known as Kosmos, something with power that dwarfs any Olympian. After much competition to try to find and deny him the clues he needs to find the object of his quest, the two of you end up before Kosmos, at which point your character learns that the boon that Ares is asking of the ubergod is "Please decree that nuclear explosions shall no longer happen on Earth. Any fission or fusion weapon shall misfire like unto a damp squib." What does your character do?

  12. Re: Golden Age Resources: Superweapons of WW II I've spent some time wondering how they thought they could do any significant damage to the canal with a few seaplanes.

  15. Re: Istvatha V'han - why can't she conquer Earth? Worse because it's obvious that in the case of the GL a huge amount of stuff just falls through the cracks as you'd expect. V'Haan on the other hand efficiently administrates a hundred million billion galaxies.

  17. Re: Alternate Marvel Universe Black Widow never defected from the Soviet Union, and found herself out of a job after the KGB was reorganized. She became a criminal mastermind known as "Tsarina", in control of the most powerful Mafiya in the new Russia. Captain Marr-Vell was manuevered into becoming the Herald of Galactus. Much to the disappointment of the Supreme Intelligence he was persuaded by members of Earth's as yet unnamed prestige team (after much punching and noble posturing) that the right thing to do with his position was to try find uninhabited worlds for his employer to consume rather than use Galactus to devastate the Skrull empire. He never met Nitro, never got cancer, and stopped calling himself "Captain". Gwen Stacy never became interested in chemistry, choosing instead to pursue a career in archaeology. This eventually led to her getting shot by bandits in a newly excavated temple of Khonshu. Brought back by the power of the god, she decided to fight evil as Sailor Moon! No wait. There's a problem with that name.
  18. Re: Ctrl+V The distinction between science fiction and fantasy is not a matter of whether what is done is possible. More often than not, in science fiction it isn't. Rather it's a matter of what influences and inspirations the author shows in his work.
  19. Re: Ctrl+V Murdoch Mysteries: As the CBC run starts, the episode starts off quickly with the Anachronism of the Week, a radio controlled airplane a good 20 years in advance of its time that has crashed in Toronto, leaving two dead bodies behind, one of them being a porcine crash test dummy. Crabtree reminds me of Castle now. After all, he's a sensational novelist who loves to weave fantastic theories at the start of a case. No, Crabtree that is not a pig-shaped alien. It's a pig. The only thing he lacks is the fortune and fame. To make the debut of the series on CBC they bring back some recurrent characters. The Evil Canadian Spy. The Evil American Spy. (The adjective is perhaps redundant because clearly there will never be a non-evil spy on this series.) And to top things off, there's The Most Suspicious Man In The World. He doesn't always drink beer, but when he does it's Highly Suspicious. Since this is his fourth or fifth go round with Pendrick, and the last time Murdoch ruined the poor fellow by arresting him on charges that were as always, false; Murdoch only briefly suspects him this time. But Brackenreid is of course immediately suspicious of the poor guy despite the total lack of any reason to be. Some very amateurish blue screen work, incidentally... Also there's a stupid sub plot about Brackenreid considering going off to fight in the Boer War just to be all historical and stuff. Deception: This is still a pretty stupid premise. The Daily Show/Colbert Report Wait, what was that about Gerard Depardieu? Castle The first thing I wondered was whether dead divorce lawyer had represented one of his wives.

  21. Re: What "Pulp" have you read lately ? It's set in the era, but it owes more to the X-Men than Doc Savage, Fu Manchu or even Dashiel Hammett.
  22. Re: Golden Age Resources: Superweapons of WW II All I know is that the man upon the stair who wasn't there, and wasn't there again today was called "Yehudi" Oh wait, I found something. http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-yeh1.htm
