Back to reading SF! I started off with Mickey 7 and it's sequel Antimatter Blues - it's been highly touted and there is a movie or show adaptation coming soon. I hope they get it right because this show absolutely will live and die with the 'voice' of Mickey. His personality carries the entire...

I think that in general, things should not be 'scrubbed' but you absolutely must be sure that when you do present such content that it is not presented in a way that perpetuates stereotypes; this can occur through simple inattention to the actual source material. When you build out everything...

Once they have some cast and a director, etc, on board, it might be worth paying attention to. Otherwise, with all the money problems WB is having lately, this sounds much more like hand-waving to placate the nervous investor class, and keep them from dumping WB stock. This is something it would...

Finishing up Elizabeth Bear's Lotus Kingdoms series. It's a great ride, with multiple viewpoints across three major factions. There are some interesting ideas for D&D magic, since we get 3-4 different schools of thought on what magic is and how it works and where the power of a wizard comes...

In the How Did I Miss This department: Bear's New Amsterdam series - The great detective Don Sebastien de Ulloa and his travelling companion, Jack, take the airship from Calais to the great Colonial city of New Amsterdam, but en route Mlle Pontchartrain vanishes while they are over the Atlantic...

Love that series. I highly recommend it.

I seem to remember that most of Book Two is about her.

Just finished the third book in the Maradaine Elite series, People of The City. This is the twelfth and last book in Phase One of the Maradaine series - and unlike the others it cannot be read in any order. You need to read this series last because People of The City brings every Phase One plot...

No justification. I don't even consider you need to use 100% of the stuff in the PHB or MM. Certainly stuff exists outside it. Of course I grew up on AD&D where the vast majority of even the perfectly normal human types, when presented as 'monsters', had incredible abilities that not even a...

Mutants and Masterminds/Champions : four-color superhero world. Character-type: Batman-like gadget/martial artist.

I hope this time they actually let Cavill be Superman instead of the parody WB had before, but I kind of doubt it.

The Justice of Kings - very good so far. The great Sovan Empire, the Empire of the Wolf, is at it's greatest extent and the cracks are beginning to show. Sir Konrad Vonvalt is an Imperial Justice, upholding the great body of common law in the name of the Emperor. To do this, he has the Voice...

I'd suggest starting with the first book series - Arrows of the Queen (1987) Arrow's Flight (1987) Arrow's Fall (1988) This is an almost young-adult series, and is her book books in the entire span, so they might be a little rough in places. Then go back in time, and things really get...
