Aislinn While all of the ASIs active on Earth have employed androids for certain tasks, Savitor, the youngest of them, is the one who both employs them the most often and also manufactures most of those used by the others. Because of this, and perhaps because of her youth, Savitor is the most...

Sid Viscous Ronald Rampulsky, better known by the alias Doctor Viscous, was one of the most notorious supervillains of the first age. Not for success in his criminal endeavors, but for sheer persistence. Despite being beaten by nearly every member of the Institute at some point, he kept coming...

"full body visible", I expect.

Proctor The saying goes, "If you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras" -- in rather more words, it is foolish to make unlikely conclusions from data when there are more plausible ones to be made. So it is that, when a robot appears and starts attacking people, most people will assume that...

-On second thought, that's probably too much even for this thread.-

Kalama Mazainin Art by Moonsoo Lee Not so very long ago, on a planet on the trailing side of the Technate, a middle-aged woman, beat down by years, sat at the bar in a broken down public house, nursing an alcoholic beverage. She lifted her head slightly at the unfamiliar sound of thrusters not...

Dr. Valerie Petrie Let it be clear, she is a legitimate doctor. (When in a good mood, she will unsmilingly declare, "I have a Doctorate in Philosophy from Yale, a Doctorate in Civil Law from McGill, and a Doctorate in Medicine from John Hopkins. My friends, out of courtesy, call me Doctor.")...

Gedaugen (revised) "Like Alexander I will reign,/And I will reign alone, My thoughts shall evermore disdain/A rival on my throne." -- from My Dear and Only Love, by James Graham, Marquis of Montrose For a long time, he was content in his tiny kingdom, content to have his services called upon...

Or, just as probably, gotten shot himself in the confusion that would have followed.

Jim, Agent of Saturn There are those who would say that Jim Houston, 38, has made his own bed and should learn to sleep in it. Others might go further and use the phrases, "dug his own grave" and ... well, you get the idea. And maybe that is fair, for he is, after all, a well-paid member of a...

And this is just speculation, but, given how well the Wrath of the Righteous crpg is doing, I would be surprised if, once Paizo decides how it wants to update the mythic rules, they did not publish a compiled and updated version of that AP as well. Could happen sometime in 2024, if all goes well.

As you wish, so be it. In the last year, two compiled versions of shorter 2e adventure paths, Abomination Vaults and Fists of the Ruby Phoenix have been released. I think there's an excellent chance that Quest for the Frozen Flame, Outlaws of Alkenstar and Gatewalkers will get this treatment...

What kills me is that I got this from Cineplex Odeon, probably the major theatre chain in Canada. I wouldn't have expected them to be that cheap when it comes to obtaining their ad copy ...

Carmilla The exact circumstances under which the Styrian aristocrat Mircalla Karnstein became a vampire at the tender age of eighteen, more than three hundred years ago, are understandably a bit obscure. Most likely one of her several suitors at the time of her death was a vampire, one of...

Has anyone else pointed out that she has only three fingers on her left hand?

Received this in the mail today, and you people are the only ones I know who'd understand why it's funny.

Not a plus thread so my answer is -- don't. It's a foolish, hubristic ambition. All control is ultimately an illusion, and power a narcotic that inevitably kills its addicts. Let the galaxy do its own thing, and live your own best possible life.

Kazumi/和美 Whenever she asked her parents about why they had chosen to leave the world behind and come to the Shadow School, with her in their arms, they would change the subject. Likely as not, the story is less embarrassing than they imagine, but it probably makes no difference now, anyway...

Megatragan Haupoe had always feared this day might come. Once again, she had been guiding the people who called themselves the Morrison Institute through some of the safer parts of Dread Island, and, once again, one of the Ayole had done something dumb that drew down the attention of one of...

The Shootist Masked Unmasked Switzerland went untouched by the Pythonian Insurgency. While it was not the only nation to avoid subjected to any attacks on its government, infrastructure or populace during that decade-long conflict, it was perhaps the largest one. As a result, a conspiracy...
