Amnar The origins and true nature of the being who calls himself Amnar are not positively known. He might be a Titan -- though he is much more humanoid than most of them -- or an Olympian -- though if so he is unknown to the survivors of that people -- or one of the "rising stars" of Cherab --...

Kishinami Monoka (revised) In one version of events -- the one that no one else seems to remember -- soon after her sixteenth birthday, Monoka overheard Megan Excalibur talking with one of the higher ups about the prospect that Monoka would eventually succeed her, and expressing the hope that...

Super Star Trek. Spent hours upon hours playing that one.

Well, it seems that I'm still wrong about Roy knowing it or at least he gives no evidence supporting that. Yet.

Tiankui/天魁 Tiankui is one of the names for the star known as Alpha Ursae Majoris in western astronomy. In the Chinese classic known as Water Margin, the 108 stars associated with that constellation were associated with an identical number of the bandits of Mount Liang, said to be the reborn...

Hm. I was only about 66% sure myself. Maybe I should have more confidence. Nah, probably a bad idea.

Good point. The final version will note that he was never a violent criminal to begin with.

The spambot is getting a bit scarily smart in its name choices.

Johnny Wasted Before 1977, if anyone had told twenty-one year old John Schneider that he would one day be a hero ... he would have been thrilled. However, his idea of a hero was largely shaped by his favorite movie, Easy Rider, which he had first snuck into a theatre to see when he was...

What a marvelous plan. I'm sure that there's a lot of money to be made in the field of holding back the tide with your hands.

Princess Kaguya Much of the story, notably the end, has already been told. And yet there is still more to tell. There always is. Gaigoyan -- to use the Albadine version of her name, which her adoptive parents thought similar to the Japanese word for 'shining', Kaguya -- came to Earth almost...

Most likely this is to Starfinder as Pathfinder Unchained was to PF1E -- and so optional, but exploring territory that will eventually lead to SF2E.

<reads> Not quite how I envision Archie looking, but I suspect I might be too influenced by Mr. Hutton's portrayal. <takes a second look> Oh! That's a caricature of him, I think.

A man was running a taste test booth, thought he was being addressed by a woman, then realized that the voice was actually coming from an acquaintance who has a prosthetic leg, and had him do the taste test. Upon doing so, the acquaintance gave a reaction suggesting that he agreed that the...

Which was part of the reason Beowulf didn't take that last opportunity to accuse him, just glaring. (The other part was that he knew that telling the Geats the truth about their new king wouldn't have eased any of the fear they were feeling.)

Beowulf While the business with first Grendel and then what he took for his mother was probably his greatest adventure, it was hardly his only one. By the time that Hrothgar began having his troubles, he had already gained something of a reputation for killing monsters. Most of them were just...

The mid 90s, when date rape drugging was recognized as such by law enforcement, per Wikipedia's page on the subject.

There is a brand of root beer named Barq's, which at one point had a somewhat surreal ad campaign based on its slogan "Barq's has bite." This was long ago. I hope that's what you were asking about.

I'm flashing on finding a copy of a WEG Star Wars product in the gift shop at "Star Tours" in the early 90s.

Arthur, Dux Bellorum Were you expecting Clive Owen? Even in his youth, when he believed that he was the illegitimate son of his foster father being kept close, he had dreams of becoming something greater, of somehow winning his way to a throne through the strength of his sword arm. When Hector...
