Someone IM'd me this....

Know, O prince, that between the years when the oceans drank the old forum setup and the gleaming cities of TSR fell to upstart card companies, and the years of the rise of the sons of 4e, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across RPG.net like blue mantles beneath the stars ... Hither came Future Villain Band, the Admin, dark-haired, sullen-eyed, banstick in hand, a scholar, a law clerk, a banner, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the forums under his sandaled feet.

And know, too, that once Future Villain Band came across Thornhammer, who would start threads within halls of Tangency designed to provoke and anger, but never return hence to respond to the replies. And tiring of this cowardice and provocation, Future Villain Band said unto him, 'By Crom, you will post again to these threads once you start them, on my oath, or I will see ye banned from Tangency, and forced only to post in Other Media, with the swarthy Shemites, or Roleplaying Open amidst its fair-haired beauties and villainous brutes.'

'And to cement this lesson of steel," Future Villain Band brooded, 'I shall give you a ban from TO, lasting 10 days, which is appealable to the other admins. And hopefully, you will know then what is good: to respond to posts; to see your enemies driven before you; and to hear the weeping and lamentation of those upon their friends list.'" -- The Nemedian Chronicles

From an article about Iceland's banking problems...

For richer, for poorer: the struggle to survive after banking collapse

On three shiny floors of a former fish factory is CCP, a company best known in computer gaming for Eve Online, which has 300,000 participants all over the world - as many inhabitants as Iceland itself. However, restrictions on access to foreign currency for individuals and businesses and on foreign investment into Iceland are making life difficult. "To make new games, we need foreign investors," says Eyjolfur Gudmundsson, formerly an assistant professor at the University of Akureyri, who supervises Eve's virtual economy. "The present currency restrictions are putting us in a straitjacket. We are in talks with the government, but if we can't let capital in, we might be compelled to leave Iceland, even though this would be against our wishes.

Been working on these for a few weeks. The problems with some of the MC2 characters is they havent had a lot revealed about them; so its hard assign them Qualities at times.

So without further ado its Spider-girl and her Amazing Friends.......

Slingers was a comic that got the short end of the stick I think looking back on it. I was put off the fact you had to buy all four different #1s and Wizard to the the #0 to really get the full story. I couple years after it was cancelled I ended up with all 12 issues when I bought some other comics on e-Bay. I found it was a pretty darn good comic after all. So without further blathering on my part....

( Slingers behind the cut! )

Been playing around with for a while Made in honor or Gordy's Serenity game and the crew of the Kimet.
