Quote: Quote: It's not too late to go bushwack someone yourself.Quote: But you don't get sent to an exotic land as punishment these days. Quote: Quote: Ah, so recidivism was in your genes long before Robert and Ellen. There were Scots.Quote: Now you look here laddie!So as not to get my pocket picked? Quote: Quote: The Lovecraftians really have bits of that coast further south, off East Anglia, like the historical Innsmouth. Yorkshire has to settle for lost lands in Gramayre .Quote: Enchanted magic?Well, sunken villages. And my farm. Actually, some of the most interesting British archaeology happening today is off the east coast, under the North Sea. Up to the end of the last ice age around 25,000 years ago, that was all dry land joining Britain to Holland, the most fertile bit of north Europe. It's possible to still map where there were once rivers and forests. And of course it is there, rather than in what were then uninviting highlands that we now call coastal regions, where earliest man lived. Salt water and silt can be remarkably good at preserving wood and pottery remains, so as out ability for underwater excavation develops, more and more revelations about paleolithic history are coming to light. Quote: Quote: I think the Junior class in waiting is probably Sam, Mags, and Griffin.Quote: Ah, I mis-understood another reply somewhere about Sam leading the future LL, and thought those lot had joined the Juniors now (given the amount of time which has past). Well, in my head the Juniors are university age, Sam is around 15, and Mags and Griff are about 13. Quote: Quote: There was a gret episode of Doctor Who Confidential a few years back Quote: Ha, that does indeed sound cool, I haven't seen it. I did enjoy the Five(ish) Doctors Reboot directed by Peter Davison from a few years ago. There was an insane amount of special content produced for the 50th anniversary in 2013, of which that was one piece. I think there were over 30 Who-related broadcasts on BBC TV and radio that week. One to specially look out for is "An Adventure in Time and Space", a one off drama based upon the behind-the-scenes story of how the BBC came to greenlight and make Doctor Who back in 1963. It won awards and the ending is heart-wrenching. Quote: Quote: It was natural progression, really. The story as it developed seemed to demand it. And it wasn't so much shunting [Hacker9] off as setting up his next storyline.Quote: Apologies Ian, i forget what happened to him after that, I may have missed it?Um, nothing. Yet. His next storyline is... in the queue. Quote: Quote: Duanna shar Ibbish is one of my favourite characters (and would probably hit Vizh's sweet spot too). She raises the narrative question of what does an ex-sacrificial virgin do next? Apart from crimefighting, of course?Quote: That is a very interesting question. And she does sound like an interesting character. Well, since the main male character is a Conan-style barbarian, from scene two the question is really what does an ex-sacrifical ex-virgin do, since he rescues her in the traditional manner. Quote: Quote: Quote: Bunyips are notoriously difficult to trap. Quote: Quote: That's what makes them taste so good.Quote: You don't eat bunyip. Bunyip eats you!Pro bunyipist propoganda! | |||||||
