That's funny, those are the guys who brought me back to Marvel. ;) For while, I thought Steve Rogers was going to be the mystery guy behind the Ronin mask, but now I'm thinking that it'll be Clint Barton/Hawkeye. I'm actually pretty excited about what's happening in the Marvel U. They've...

A bunch of people have already recommended George R.R. Martin and Guy Gavriel Kay. I whole-heartedly agree with both. Two of my favorite "fantasy" authors out there. They're both so character driven and realistic it's almost like they're historical novels. From Kay, I strongly suggest Tigana and...

I have. I love "The Course Of The Heart". I'm Ambivilent about "Viriconium". The only thing I can say about "Light" is that I liked it. Has anybody read anything else by him? There's "Sign's of Life", which seems more in the vein of Course of the Heart. There's the "Centauri Device" which has...

Oh my god. This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. I just did a search for it on amazon, and it's pretty cheap too. I love this left of center stuff. Thank you so much for your recommendation! Ulrik: Actually, I've read Chasm City. Couldn't stand it, although I did read and enjoy...

My reading habits usually go from contemporary literature to sci-fi/fantasy. However, the last few novels I've read have been all contemporary lit. I'm actually in the middle of the new Dave Eggers novel "What is the What". While it's very good, it is getting a bit tedious. I need something to...

I don't think it fits in nicely to any single genre. It definitly has some S&S tropes, and you can lodge psionics into the sorcery part of that. But it's maybe a little to "alien" to fit snuggly. I always kind of saw it akin to John Carter of Mars. I think that's considered "Planetary Romance"...

No one?

Let me explain. Recently, I found a dog eared copy of the original Aberrant in an old rpg box in my basement. While it was the only Aberrant product I've ever owned, I have looked through a few of the other titles during my time as a book seller at a major chain. One of the biggest parts of the...

When I first started reading this thread, Black Adam from DC comics came to mind, especially his actions during the 52 series. I kinda of want to agree with Simplicity, when he stated Tyrion Lannister; but I never saw him as a villian. I think if we're going to be using the words Hero and...

Besides Wee-Jas, my favorite "made-up" death diety's are from Mark Smylie's Artesia series/rpg. Djara Luna - the Moon Goddess of death and darkness, the queen of ghosts and dark magic, the giver of lunacy and nightmares, the keeper and revealer of secrets: goddess of crossroads, curse magic...

Can I just say that the Whispering Cairn from Dungeon 124 is a great beginning adventure. Yes, it is the first for the Age Of Worms campaing...um...Adventure Path, but you can make your own follow ups and ignore the whole AOW thingy. The adventure itself requires brawn and smarts, and it has...

I like the dead ones. In the past I highly enjoyed the elves from Earthdawn. I believe they were called the Blood Wood elves (let me know if I'm wrong). I always enjoyed the fact they had thorns coming out of them.

Necromancer? Are you talking about the Tsar three part series or something else? Let me know what you know, or give me a link or something. Pretty Please.

Although, The Authority did stem from his run on Stormwatch, and you do have to admit that the Apollo/Midnighter combo is rather like Superman/Batman. Maybe that's where they' re getting the idea from. But other than that, I do agree with you. Stormwatch isn't really an analogue of JLA. now...

I wish I could find a book club like that. Have you read it? I hope you did. It's very good. The Transformation of Martil Lake is one of my favorite short stories in any genre. If you liked it, Vandermeer has another novel out that takes place in Ambergris. it's called Shriek: An afterword. I...

Is that what your Lunar Exalted looks like?

I'd like to say Cyberpunk 2020. I seriously have no idea how good it did. Hands down my favorite rules system (be kind, I really haven't played that many rule systems). I also really really liked Fading Suns. It always felt like something White Wolf would have done for a Space Opera setting. I...

Does he put ketchup on his toast?

Are you talking about her Flat Earth Chronicles? I highly recommend them! Some of my favorite books are from that series. It starts off with "Nights Master", which is good, but not as good as the second novel "Deaths Master" (I know, sounds like a death metal band...you should see the cover art...

A nice, big, beautiful FR book detailing all the "other" settings located on Toril: Kara-Tur, Horde Lands, Al-Qadim,....maztica, because I'm sure there's somebody out there who liked it. Maybe it'll even include some Realmspace. No. No Realmspace. I'd love to see a new Spelljammer ruleset...
