  Member Since: July 2003  RK: 13 MP: 6,289      | Sunday September 2, 2012 12:07 AM I'm kind of floating in a limbo in between books. I'm feeling like something steampunk or weird fiction-ish, sort of in the vein of China Mieville. Any recommendations for me, RPGC? Everywhere I go I repeat: I do not belong here.

Not steampunk, but if you pick up his Laundry files (start off with "The Atrocity Archives"), you'll find well-written men-in-black/Cthulhu horror with a dash of humor. And the guy created githyanki, githzerai, death knights and slaadi for D&D. I feel happy...I feel happy! "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do.

Member Since: October 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,189 | Sunday September 9, 2012 8:28 PM The Beast was pretty good, even if the blurb was downright wrong about the contents.On to Clifford D. Simak's "The City", a collection of short stories about the myths of Dogs about Men. Man, I love classic SF like this. I feel happy...I feel happy! "I contend that we are both atheists.

Member Since: October 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,189 | Saturday September 29, 2012 4:32 PM "The City" was excellent, the sort of book that exemplifies all that was great about Golden Age SF.van Vogt's "Earth Factor X", otherwise known as "The Secret Galactics", was a disappointment. Not terribly good, and the rather misogynistic view of women reminded me of what I don't like about Heinlein. Now I'm reading Nietzche's "Also sprach Zarathustra". Interesting enough so far.

Member Since: October 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,189 | Monday October 15, 2012 3:19 AM Finished "The Old Republic: Deceived" for Star Wars. It's partially about Darth Malgus, that big nasty Sith guy in the cinematic trailers, and the former Padawan of the guy he killed in the Jedi Temple. A pretty bland read, with a little too much "this is a person with this class, and here are his companions."Not nearly as bad, either in content, writing or game tie-in as "Fatal Alliance".
