Re: Shear Anarchy / San Dorado [Worldbuilding Exercise]

Would be interesting to see a story set in the San Dorado universe, see it from a personal view. One is under construction, but past experience (read: my lazy ass abandoning stories midway through) has taught me not to post it until it's actually finished. I have enjoyed many first chapters from yo...

Better yet, you should GM a game! We're all past adolescence so we can all make non-wank PCs! :D

First Glimpse

Of no specific setting and I think the influences must be quite obvious, but here is an extended edition of something I wrote for this SDN Challenge. With an extra 60 words I cut there. First Glimpse Commander Liam Harvey sat utterly straight in the passenger chair, even while the whine of the engin...

Re: Official Movie Review Thread

Recently, I watched Birdman on Netflix. It's as far as I can tell competently directed, shot, scripted and acted and it's got some fun things in it. But ultimately meh. Because it's taking a massive crass swipe at superhero movies. And gosh darn it, I like superhero movies. It seems especially ironi...

A Very Passive-Aggressive Array, a network of deployable and disposable satellites that, together with an impressive feat of coordinated computation by Bragulan standards, massively extends the ship’s sensor horizon. The satellites can be refitted back into missiles.

Re: SUNDER [Transfer Project]

I've read up to File 04.

Cool stuff, though as Siege says a lot of the terms are familiar. I only know enough gundam to figure life matter = minovsky particles

And remembering a terrible joke from my child hood I can only assume McCracken's first name is Phil.

Y'All need to go watch Star Trek Beyond.

It's not perfect but it's trying so much more than the previous two to be Star Trek and insert some heart and character into them all.
