Speaking as someone who does have a huge honking tattoo and is still very happy with it: 1) Your choices are not limited to "dinky" or "full back tattoo". You can get a pretty hefty-sized tattoo on a shoulder, an arm, part of your back, your leg, etc. 2) People are going to want to see your...

We seem to be OK with normal humans who do things that are as farfetched as jumping over buildings - surviving wounds and attacks that no normal human would survive, healing damage faster than even the most cutting-edge medical science can achieve, recovering from acid and concussions and poison...

Dread is the game that uses a Jenga tower for conflict resultion, not d100, unless they really overhauled the system....

You seem to be conflating a couple of things here - saying one wishes X art didn't exist (or was different, or that there shouldn't be so groudon much of X) is not identical to saying that X art 'should be censored', particularly given that the definition of censorship generally involves some...

Bumping this thread in lieu of starting a new one and wondering who else has given it a whirl? We've played two different games in our local group and enjoy it a lot - the only issue is that so far nobody has managed to knock over the tower! Partly this is due to at least one of the players...

I find this argument very strange on a couple of levels. Ironically, you argue for the suppression of criticism by drawing a straight line from criticism to censorship; then you argue, in essence, that art is powerless and frivolous. The first is an argument that free speech and opinion is one...

Yes, when *is* the next one, she said casually?

I can't believe you put "hands", "stone balls" and "hard time" together and didn't make a smarmy remark. The strain of the contest must really have gotten to you!

Lovecraft, while influential, wasn't the first or last word in 'fantasy horror' or 'cosmic horror' or whatever you prefer to call it. You can also pick up Kenneth Hite's Tour de Lovecraft, which is a summary of Lovecraft's fiction that will get you the gist of the references without your having...

Congrats, Rodrigo! And geez louise, enough with that 'even Mythago' stuff. I mean, Berandor beat me before, how hard can it be ;)

Well, *I'm* sold :) Really, my goal here was just to get SOMETHING written so I didn't let my esteemed opponent down - it's a miracle I was able to write this much.

Chosen Later, reflecting back on the words of the prophecy, Gabriella had to admit that it was technically correct in parts: she was wearing purple and scarlet, even if the scarlet consisted of a ratty pair of red underwear, and she supposed that the pearl earrings and her gold crucifix with...

Will have to be next week for me.

I agree with arwink's comments about the 'chick lit' theme maxfieldjadenfox used - it's almost too easy here to fall into fantasy, sf and/or horror to the exclusion of other, equally worthy genres. Though I do think it's pretty funny that we both wrote stories about the adventures of two gay...

Uh, that would be Round 1, #8,maxfieldjadenfox vs. mythago. Hope I wasn't late, but if so, congratulations to maxfieldjadenfox for going on to the next round :) Note to self: tell judges ahead of time which days aren't so good to start a round.

Jacque clapped his hands and squealed at the airplane that bounced up out of the artificial surf. - “Cee, it’s darling! Did you really give it a puppy brain for an AI? Oh, look, it’s splashing me!”[1] Criminal Procedure sighed. Jacque was less tiresome than many of the beautiful idiots he’d...

What's the date on the start times?

Piratecat, think there's something wrong with ENworld posting - it *looks* like maxfieldjadenfox said something in English but I can't understand what the heck it is (see bold above).

You just don't get a pleasing blood-spatter effect with wit, unfortunately.

Got you covered on the beer. I'll also bring these brand-new nanoedged semicolons. They're great for cutting the tops off beer cans and...other things.
