Yeah, apparently it came out in 1994. I would have been 11.

Huh, I don't know what most of those are...

FYI, Cook's Garrett books are a direct play off of the Nero Woolfe detective novels.

Hambly's Dark Novels were somewhat vampiry, somewhat demony.

The rest you pretty much nailed.

Bova's Grand Tour is about man's exploration of our Solar system.

Turtledove's transposition of WW2 into a fantasy realm was stunningly good. Worked in elements buffs would go "YEAH!" over, and his handling of the big issues- the Final Solution, the Bomb, etc.- coheres well with the fantasy setting.

I gotta find time to read the Turtledove stuff. Sounds very interesting.

Nagas tend to be called as guardians, so some sort of treasure to be guarded, plus what ever fallen combatants would have left.

Well, I only said Nagas because that was the most current creature I was working on.

But as a DM I like to include things like toilets because it is more realistic, but I still feel weird sometimes putting them on maps. And how much of a bummer is it to open a door hoping for treasure and all you find is a toilet? Although in one of them I DID have a Ghoul put a trap in it. After all, the Ghoul has no reason to use the toilet so why the heck not?

You know those carpeted things cats like? What if there was some sort of 'playground' for a naga to climb about when bored?

Mega, I read something about your 'darker times'. Are you well now? it was in the archive hive thread.

 

[Scott DeWar]

I would say there might be some lingering shadows.

Which of his was that one?

The Darkness series of novels.

I'm a big fan of Turtledove's work, but part of what makes his best stuff so good is details, details, details. Part of that he is actually a historian- PHD in Byzantine history & such. But it's clear that he really loves the American Civil War as well.

Oh,, I haven't read that series yet. I own all of Timeline-191 and his worldwar stuff. My wonderful library has books 1-4 and book 6 of The War the came early,which i may just get all 6 books on my kindle. I'm also planning to get Bombs Away which comes out on the 14th of this month. Joe Steele was a bit weak IMO.

Yeah from what I understand, he has some ups and downs, though I felt like things were getting better at least for a while.

Which reminds me of a joke:

Guy walked into an elevator and asked "How's life?" and the elevator said "Oh, it has it's ups and downs."

I know for me right now I'm at the down moment. Everything is really frustrating, but it's nice to come here and complain on occasion. Makes me at least feel a little better.
