Hmmm,
Looks like the "Economic/Technologic Cycles" argument has replaced
its parent topic ("What about the Sword Worlds?") which IN TURN
replaced "Shall Not Perish." It has also somehow spilled over into
the Fleet Size argument. It is now a "permanent floating argument,"
and has come close to choking out the TMLs Nightly Bundle size
limit with A SINGLE MESSAGE!
All I ask is that the participants start editing in a more
ruthless fashion, so that the Nightly doesn't spill into two
Bundles _just_ for the argument's sake.
That said, I'll move on...
I saw an advertisement last week for the newest line
of artist trading cards. This particular set is of Wayne Barlowe's
work. He did "Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials", "Expedition"
and a number of other things.
I see this set as being great for props and visual aids ("The
alien coming toward you looks like _this_."). I've found isolated
cards from other sets that serve as well (like a card of the cover
of Hightower's "Alien Blues", and the Star Wars card with a really
early AT-AT concept drawing), but the Barlowe set looks to have a
higher occurence of useful pictures. I'll post a further report when
I actually get hold of some.

Whose speed was much faster, much faster than Light.
She departed one day in a relative way,
And returned on the previous Night.
