DBZ is actually one of the rare series that while I have never seen it, I am quite ready and willing to condemn it whole-heartedly. Normally I'd abstain judgement, but honestly I have enough second-hand information about the series to say there's little redeeming about it. Hyper-powered characters,...

Ooooh... it's been awhile.... I recall we "rifted" her in by converting one of the superhero games... I want to say Marvel Superheros RPG (the one whose first chapter is "So you wanna be a superhero?"). And you have to understand - we had a shifter who almost got us killed by the...

A Question for Acey

In Val's intro thread I noticed you said you devoured everything on Florestica. Did you read the one about the angel and the demon?

:::bows again::: Thank you everyone for your welcomes to the board! Right now my anime watching is rather limited. The only one I've really been enjoying is Trigun. I got tired of Sailor Moon when they dumbed down the Black Moon arc in the American translations, but I did play Serena/Usagi once in a...

While Spamville is what pulled me in, I'm trying to find inspiration to finish Curse of the Banshee before Val goes crazy (he keeps asking me questions for "Tears"). And I have a couple of other projects in mind as well. But, I confess, he's been having such a great time in Spamville I had...

Well written, I quite enjoyed it. A few quibbles though: On Seppuku: Ranma is unlikely to uphold the Seppuku pact, or any call for Seppuku. A cannon example: *(V.34 P.8.) When finally cornered by Nodoka, and honour-bound to commit seppuku by his mother's decision, Ranma uses a switching technique to...

I'd have to say I'm rather fond of Snake from Guardian
Anito from Umbra Aureola.

Never thought I'd see someone say that ;)

Just a quick comment: Lovecraftian Style != H.P. Lovecrafts specific style. The word Lovecraftian has taken on a meaning over the years that specifically refers to the 'feel' of Lovecrafts writing -- minus all his failures of course ;) In general when people are 'taking from Lovecraft' they are stri...

If I remember my mythology correctly, Charon ferried the dead across the River Styx and (I believe) across the River Lethe if they were to be reincarnated. Almost accurate. Charon is the ferryman that must be paid to enter Hades. Failure to do so requires the newly dead souls to wander the banks fo...

But if so, what is pluto then? Pluto is currently belived to be one, of many, large scale objects tha...

Actually, I have a dictionary of mythology that disagrees with you. I don't have the quote, but it associates him with the 'Father Time' figure, and implies that conventional time began because of his overthrowing Uranus. I would agree that modern mythologies tend to associate Saturn with time, how...

Unfortunately, popular sentiment is far more of a factor in Pluto's place as a planet currently than anything else. I find it far more likely that instead of changing Pluto's planethood there will instead be determined an arbitary measurement scheme that just so happens to recognize Pluto as a plane...

I mean Pluto's and Saturn's powers were mixed up for one. Saturn is time and Pluto is death and rebirth Strictly Saturn is the Roman god of Agriculture and Fertility: (From: http://www.pantheon.org/articles/s/saturn.html http://www.loggia.com/myth/saturn.html ) Though he is closely associated, as w...
