In the How Did I Miss This department: Bear's New Amsterdam series - The great detective Don Sebastien de Ulloa and his travelling companion, Jack, take the airship from Calais to the great Colonial city of New Amsterdam, but en route Mlle Pontchartrain vanishes while they are over the Atlantic...

Love that series. I highly recommend it.

I seem to remember that most of Book Two is about her.

Just finished the third book in the Maradaine Elite series, People of The City. This is the twelfth and last book in Phase One of the Maradaine series - and unlike the others it cannot be read in any order. You need to read this series last because People of The City brings every Phase One plot...

No justification. I don't even consider you need to use 100% of the stuff in the PHB or MM. Certainly stuff exists outside it. Of course I grew up on AD&D where the vast majority of even the perfectly normal human types, when presented as 'monsters', had incredible abilities that not even a...

Mutants and Masterminds/Champions : four-color superhero world. Character-type: Batman-like gadget/martial artist.

Beyond by Mercedes Lackey, Founding of Valdemar Book 1. The Empire is so expansive that it doesn't have a name, really. It has no real rivals and it's always been there. The Duchy of Valdemar is a small little area tucked away in the western hinterlands that doesn't have much going for it...

Space Opera is Big. There needs to be Something Big. What that Big thing is varies, but it needs to be larger than life, larger than the average largeness of fiction or even adventure fiction usually brings to the table. Then go further and faster than that, and then show people that was just...
