"I'm peril?" "'Dangerous! ... And so am I, very dangerous: more dangerous than anything you will ever meet, unless you are brought alive before the seat of the Dark Lord." We could still be getting herringed, but ...

Thank you for helping me to better articulate the "eh?" reaction I had while taking a look at these.

Asmodeus Before, it could be firmly and authoritatively stated that there were no such things as demons in the World Less Magical, that legends about such creatures had been distorted memories of times when extraterrestrials had been active on this planet, that such beings which existed now...

I can buy him as a twenty-something in the present narrative, but not twenty-one.

Intelligencia? High probability that it's MODOK or the Leader.

He gets killed and revives in his first appearance, but it wasn't treated as a joke (rather as something a bit horrifying.)

Doctor Tempus The thing that people who have a certain vanity about their ability to plan for things refuse to admit is that unforeseen events can and will render their plans irrelevant. Sometimes, these people have the flexibility to adapt to these changing circumstances; sometimes they do...

Warden Technology in Tanelorn is a mixture of advanced and retrograde when compared to that of the world where the city on the verge of infinity now resides. In some areas, such as the force fields that once protected Tanelorn from the vagaries of cosmic energies and that now support it as it...

Should probably watch that; read the comic adaptation recently and found it ... not without interest.

Eh. His preaching includes many examples of prophesy, so that isn't as strange, to my mind. (Is this the time to mention that I wrote stats for Jesus for Mutants and Masterminds and am probably damned for blasphemy?) And since Selene herself may have had a daughter, about whom next to nothing...

Okay ... what year is this supposed to be set again? Because according to conventional history, Cleopatra Selene was born in 40 BCE and died in 5 BCE. If this is taking place during Jesus' preaching (generally around 25-30 CE) she's been gone for a long while.

Guardian Lucis Up until this month, the greatest worries that fifteen-year-old Paul Bellner had involved keeping his grades high enough that his parents had no grounds to object to him continuing to act as the lead vocalist for The Bellringers, the band he and his two older brothers formed two...

Dr. Noemi Charpentier Born in 1981 as the next-to-youngest child of an upper-middle class Toulouse family closely associated with the aerospace industry, Noemi Charpentier was unsure what she wanted to do with her life, beyond doing something that had nothing to do with aircraft, either...

No. But I can imagine all of them pointing at each other and saying "He is --" Apparently there's a Chris Davies who was involved in the development of some RPG-significant software. I think I've been confused with him at least twice.

... I think they may be implying that the One Ring's pernicious influence is partially due to its materials, given the way that Durin was acting towards the mithril. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Teras kasi, I think. She didn't win but she didn't lose, either, though the storyline is still ongoing and things don't look like they're going to go well for her. She shows up at the start of "War of the Bounty Hunters", back in May of last year.

True; on the other hand, though, imagine a TSR-published version of Cyborg Commando.

Signs point to no on that last one. Has been already -- Qi'ra has featured as a major player in the current Marvel storyline, set between 5 & 6.

He could be Maeglin's heretofore unrecorded offspring; while obsessed with Idril, he would not be the first obsessed individual to have satisfied certain "needs" with others whom he viewed with contempt for not being the object of his desires. (I do not insist on this theory.) Meanwhile...

The most likely scenario, I think, is that a Gygax-run TSR would probably have released a 2nd edition AD&D* in 1986 or 87, which would have had much the same success as TTL's 2nd edition two years later -- but that it would not have purchased the Forgotten Realms or expanded Dragonlance as much...
