Re: The Lilu

Is there any reason why the lilu are naturally more intelligent than humans, given that their actual heritage is more or less the same - both humans and lilu were fathered by Adam. In any case, having a higher IQ does not make one a walking repository of knowledge; I would epect the reason behind th...

Re: An Apprentice's Primer To Magic and the Preternatural

That's really cool Soban. It's got a lot of powerful and interesting thematic qualities.

Re: WarPac Aircraft of CSW

Interesting that how the Berkut and the Raptor are so different in CSW, when in the real world they're generally pretty similar (like most jet fighter aircraft, but whatever :D). That it is purely space based is interesting, because I would expect it to not resemble the real Berkut at all, if that's...

Re: US Aircraft of CSW

I think I spotted some differences. Did you up the general mach numbers around? I don't recall the F122 being mach 8. I also see something new: the Thunderwave. That sounds ... exciting. :D

Re: My new, as yet unnamed, fantasy universe

Shroomy, Orion's Arm isn't a good example of any sort of anything. I could very well drop Revelation Space on your lap and say 'hard science fiction. Now weep'. There's nothing wrong with sticking with real science, just as there's nothing wrong with not. I liked the Decendants, for all its kooky we...

Re: The Challenge of Dawn Chapter 9 SNEAK PEEK

It's snippets like this which really set OZC! apart from the norm. 'Oh, yeah, I challenge your world to a duel' results in politics and construction and all manner of excellence. Money, money, money, lies, damned lies and statistics. Countries change hands, whole new organisations have erupted, tick...

Re: Goddamn OZes

However, if there is something which people are desperate for, it is possible for me (or any one of us) to access OZ via the Google cache. I can surf a fair amount of OZ by the cache (I have scripts which allow for it, if you have Firefow and want to do the same, I can send you the appropriate downl...
