I'm the second, then. There's nothing 'apparent' about it; it IS a utopia. Star Trek is at it's best when it follows the assumption that what we think of as 'the basic human condition' can and will change. That we can and will be better and do better.

Harkens back to the days of They Sue Regularly. I wonder if by now they have any cash to actually pay a lawyer to do anything except email boilerplate.

Red Sonja - Consumed - by Gail Simone Acclaimed comics writer Gail Simone's first prose book. Liked it; liked it a lot. It's what you want from Red Sonja, which is what I'd expect from someone who's written her in comic form before. She shows up, bad decisions and chaos ensue, darkness is put to...

The 'everyone can go to wizard school' idea is a bit silly;' it's like saying everyone can just be a successful CEO or get an PhD in Aerospace Engineering. 'Going to wizard school' should be like pursuing a degree in high-level theoretical physics - a vanishing small percentage of the population...

I do not since I don't know if I'm in the game or not, or if the background is acceptable. A major question that didn't occur to me until now is what level would I be coming in at?

Nice seeing Katherine Kerr's byline from before her fiction career took off.

Hey, I'd like to join if possible. I played with Queenie a long time ago in one of the Story Hours on CM. My basic concept is a Monster Hunter, so probably Ranger with some Sorcerer levels coming in later - unless I can use one of the weird third-party gunslinger classes; I do love the idea of...

I loved the 1st edition of M&M for two main reasons: (1) that it was not a super-chunky giant rulebook like Champions had become and (2) the incredible design sense it had. I loved the design for Protonik and the others, and looked forward to more but then I vaguely remember there was some kind...

Swordcrossed by Freya Marske No magic, low tech (Musketeers-like tech, with no guns in evidence) fantasy - Matti Jay (left in that book cover) has a problem. He's the de facto head of his wool-trading House and they are broke, broke, broke. So far it is a secret but that's not going to last...

5/10 - It was okay, but I felt it should have concentrated more on the over-all conflict than with her story. The animation was sloppy and rushed because of WB's need to get this out of the door before the end of the year, and honestly I was not expecting or wanting an anime style for this ( I...

I've been on a horror kick lately Jonathan Maberry's first novel, the first in the Pine Deep trilogy. Pine Deep is his Derry or Castle Rock - lots of weird stuff happens there and most residents simply choose to live with it. In Pine Deep, they lean into it hard, to the point that the...

I like it a lot. Very, very reminiscent of Tartakovsky's Primal. Perhaps too much, in some cases.

TIL that this is a series with three books. I read the first (the one with the white-washed cover) back in '83, thought it was cool, and never thought to look further.
