Nowhere IS really remote in Star Wars. Look at the maps for the thing - Coruscant is near the core while Tatooine is near the rim, yet they take a handful of days on a commercial ship at best on a direct route. Most people stick to plotted hyperdrive pathways. Just like in the real world, almost...

It looks very nice indeed :)

The very first thing you need to look at it what rights to your book they are buying, and how long they hold them. Once you re-acquire the rights to your material, then perhaps you can do it right at a later date.

Dog Moon, I'm so sorry you had to learn this valuable lesson the hard way. Let this be a lesson to everyone else. There are some very shady customers out there. Hidden fees, junky services, etc. You'll see them at every SF con with their terrible generic covers and one-size-fits-all cover...

So, so many to choose from. I think my current favorite would the The Shire theme from LOTR. Just hearing it makes me think of what it would be like living there in comfort and peace all your days, where you know literally everyone around you and they know you. http://youtu.be/HAdXWM1btG4

Originally SHIELD was known as Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law Enforcement Division and it was a part of the UN. In the Ultimate Universe, SHIELD is an American organization from the start. At what point in the normal 616 Marvel Universe did SHIELD become an American...

Absolutely loved the movie. It might rank as high as The Incredibles with me, in many respects.

The Village. The entire plot hinges on such an insane level of suspension of disbelief that I cannot stand it.

The whole idea of transporting the human race from a dying Earth to another planet is an amazing one. Perhaps someday, someone will actually make a movie based around that concept.

Exactly. I get tired of the whole 'we saw something vaguely similar twenty years ago therefor anything that resembles it gets a 'meh'' attitude I see among a number of people. It looks like an interesting take on it, and the robot himself looks pretty fabulous.

"The same Somebody (a person, an organization) done us wrong, and we are going to mess them up. Permanently." "Good King Whitebred? Bah! He destroyed our family's legacy in his quest of the throne and now he's going to pay!" "Our Cult once ruled these lands... and it will do so again!" "Those...

The setting is a fantasy version of the Danube River Valley, and it's a conflict between a human culture influenced by elves, and one by dwarves. The elf-influenced area is a magocracy: if you have The Gift, you are a member of the aristocracy. Among the Gifted, some are more equal than others...

I finished up Bastion by Mercedes Lackey, and started Bowl of Heaven by Larry Niven and Gregory Benford

Made perfect sense to me, but what I was worried about was the film was going to be 90% 'whining about leaving his kids' and 10% 'we're exploring new worlds'. Hopefully from what I've seen it'll be at least 50/50 but I'm waiting for some reviews that address that exact ratio.

I envisioned it being a half-formed face on the back of his own head, or a 'hump' that was actually the quasi-melted-looking baby-sized thing attached to his back. One concept I got to use so little that I consider it 'un-used' was formed by a buddy of mine. We were going to be playing in a...

Always wanted to do an evil spellcaster who'd transformed his cojoined undead twin into his familiar. Perhaps amazingly I've never played the nigh-sterotypical kleptomaniac halfling rogue.

I can take it or leave it. I liked the original Realms set and loved reading the various details that Greenwood wrote about in the Dragon. After TSR felt the need to make huge wholesale changes in a setting just to 'explain' the changes in 2E, I mostly stopped paying attention to it. I do...

I'm now kind of wondering if the larger S.T.A.R Labs organization even knows these people are still camping in the old facility. They probably think they are conducting an investigation into what went wrong, hoping that if Wells can remain out of the public view long enough people will forget...

Without knowing the exact timeline the movie will use, I'm guessing that the government needs a scapegoat to explain why suddenly they can't provide basic services. So, as administrations do, they look to re-write history to make themselves look better. The 'excess and wastefullness' of previous...

Bah, another gutless no-costumes no-powers show greenlit just because Gotham didn't immediately sink beneath the waves.
