Great creature. Have you got any other info on it? I agree that splitting the end of the armlike tentacles would be a good idea.

Oops. The above post was from me. I've got to rememeber to enter my username and password every time I post.

Excellent! Will it be carried by comics shops exclusively?

Another one came to mind:

Monster mimic: Either through illusion or physiology, The creature appears to be some type of dangerous monster.

Those are awesome! Here are a few more: Explosive: In regions with fire-susceptible predators, such as trolls or frost worms, certain small mammals have adapted to burst into an intense searing flame when they die. This causes several peripheral effects; these creatures are trapped by hunters in the...

That brings up the seed of an idea I had for a setting/series called "Triple Helix". magic is achieved by "picotech", the next step beyond nanotech. Certain humans with a third, cybernetic, strand of DNA are born with cyberware. I also have a decent explaination for the prolifera...

Wow. I've gotta check that out.

The anonymous post above was from me. I forgot to log in.

Sounds indispensible to me. Plenty of aberrations, I trust?

Sad news for anyone hoping to see it: the 12/17/02 New York Post reports that as of December 26th Dinotopia is cancelled. Here's a blurb: "[i]Dinotopia[/i] attracted a dismal 4.2 million viewers in its outing last Thursday, making it the least-watched series on any of the four major networks.&q...

I'll try to check out Serial Experiments Lain , then. BTW, I've briefly been to your site, and your setting seems pretty damn cool.

[quote][i]Originally posted by goodmangames[/i] Seems like this idea is getting around -- I just opened up the latest copy of Dragon and there's an ad on page 9 with the blurb, "High-Spirited Aerial Adventures Await You!" It's for a Gamecube game called Skies of Arcadia Legends. [/quote] R...

It might just be my version of Acrobat Reader, but I can't get the file to work. I'm really interested in seeing this.

Let me qualify the above; The aliens are as alien as predominantly humanoid aliens can be.

I like and can handle wierdness. The only thing I can't deal with is out of place "goofiness". For me, it's a matter of how the topic is approached.

My taste in movies is pretty ecclectic. I enjoy "high concept" films, even mindless or action oriented ones. If they can pull off depth while maintaining the escapism, all the better. I like some anime,and I'm assuming the series you mentioned was anime because of the title, but I'm not a ...

Hmm, I'd like to see some tabletop version of a game like Bullfrog's Populus: The Beginning. It would be half RPG, half wargame like I hear Birthright was. You'd play a primitive shaman trying to achieve and maintain godhood, and shepherding your people towards greater and greater things, through se...

I'm very excited to see it, but I can't get there until this Sunday. I've never been this much of a movie fan boy before. :D For years my favorite genre movie was Highlander, then The Crow, and when I saw the Matrix I thought it would never be dethroned. Now I feel that way about Lord of the Rings. ...

I have the third edition that was published in 1992. It's a great game with truly alien aliens. Flavor wise it's got a very "80s Scifi" vibe. Star Wars, BattleStar Galactica, etc. except that all action takes place on one world, and technology is slowly being lost. There are psionics/magic...

I know the sea cucumber can expell its organs, and as far as I know the starfish can turn inside out and then "right side in" again to envelop prey. There's an idea for a monster. I'm writing it up!

I see my post was edited. I'm cracking up right now! Bad Bottom, eh?

Here's the thread I started on the concept of "biological arms races"
http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/vie ... php?tid=21

I didn't want to derail the thread where this was mentioned, but we were discussing several adaptations that were tried by different species in history, such as the numerous separate evolutions of Sabre teeth, and a time when mammals were evolving horns like crazy. Another example is how the armored...

That era would make great game material. I've seen pictures of the gopher-beast. Whoever said gophers weren't bad ass? I like the idea of taking a particular adaptation and running with it. Sabre teeth, Horns, etc. That give me an idea for a thread...

I seem to recall watching something about the biological arms race that went on until the time of man... Wasn't there an age where all sorts of mammals were growing horns for awhile?

Ok.
