Since the other threasd is getting around 120 posts, I thought I'd start a new one.
RE El Hazard: GoO just released it as a BEEFY Tri-Stat sourcebook, which I immediately snaffled onto. I reccomend getting it just so you can see how they modeled Ifurita's copycat powers as a base for Doug's song powers for use in TriStat. Actually, it could do reasonably as a substitute for the SMRPG that it turns out I can't find my spare copy of if you modify the Preistesses to (sailor) suit. The book is very much like the hardcover/color special edition version of Silver Age Sentinels (which I also grabbed as soon as I could get it) save only for being softcover - the paper and art qualityh are just that good, and half of it is spent going into detail on the setting, then each of the makor characters gets a full page writeup, and several lesser ones get half-pages. As a further bonus, the ruleset is the most recent revision, only seen elsewhere to my knowledge in the TriStat Dx PDF, with some setting-specific enhancements, like splitting powers into categories based on whether they should belong to natives, artifacts, or dimensional travelers who get the E-H boost, or whatever.
As a further interesting note, there is support for the notion of other models of demon-god in the E-H manga, which I have a few scanned panels of showing an Indian-looking dude with turban whose power key staff has a smaller head, that he likes to pop an energy blade out of to resemble a scythe, and ... blast, I can't remember what the other female looks like exactly, but it's simlar to the character design that was used for Kalia in the second OVAs. I couldn't say if the character is all that similar to miss "Oh, I'm a REALLY bad girl!" but I would hope she had a bit more depth than poor Kalia did. (I always saw her as having been originally like the rather sweet kid she pretends to be, driven sociopathic by what she was made to do as a demon-god - whether they're borgs or completely manufactured bots, it really doesn't matter, there'd still be a first fight/next fight/fight n to wear away at one that accidentally had an intact conscience)
RE YuGiOh - I can't say I like the series, the toys, or the carfd game itself, but if it did end up a Step (or a FicFic Sidestep) I have the perfect title: Drunkard's Walk: Like An Egyptian. Alternately, it could be the song that gets him there.

I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to Bert. I have e-mailed him several times but the e-mail address seems to be no longer valid. I hope he's ok because I love his stories.

I did NOT escape! They gave me a day pass.

I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

Well I always like to feel helpful (even when I'm not) why not start a thread with more suggestions for a new title than the Holy^3 monstrosity. Anyways here's my suggestion "Big Trouble (with or in) Little Goddesses". Maybe just take the with out and have it be "Big Trouble, Little Goddesses".

Having brought up Yu-Gi-Oh! in the future steps thread, and because you never know when there will be a high-stakes poker game for the fate of the universe.....(By the by, the use of metatalents and ancient Egyptian artifacts is allowed in card games in the YGO universe.)
"The Gambler"-Kenny Rogers. Generally good for card games, especially determining how strong your hand is compared to your opponents. Or could get Doug advice from a dead gambler (there are a couple of them in the YGO manga.)
"Luck Be a Lady Tonight"-Guys and Dolls. Makes sure your hot streak continues for the length of the song. Do *not* use while playing Jonouchi/Joey Wheeler of YGO, as Lady Luck came in with *him.*
"Playing With the Queen of Hearts"-Juice Newton. Really a song about running away from a woman, so would probably invoke some sort of movement power away from female opponents. In the card game context, bad for "female" cards, good for jokers, fools and clowns.
"Jack of Hearts"-Bob Dylan. Not actually much of a gambling song, more about a thief/conman. But it's *long* so whatever effect it has will last and last.
There's the whole YGO "Music to Duel By" album, but you can't get that in the YGO universe.

Any others?
SKJAM!

I've got an updated file at the same site now. About 72K RTF.

Now to figure out how to register my name. Maybe I can use a modification. I've done that before...

When you get around to the Sailor Moon walk or Slayers walk, are we going to see a SAS or BESM character sheet for Looney Tunes?
I know we wont see a MAGIUS character sheet when you hit EVA. ^_^

Sooo... When can we expect an estimate on release of a new Chapter 1 of the next DW step?
Well c'mon! You knew someone had to ask eventually.
We'll try not to be too much like rabid crack weasels. ^_^

... or evening, or afternoon.
At risk of making this too long, I'll try to be brief.
1.)who is this guy?
-a man of many words but comperatively little content, or as some would put it, a habitual rambler. he's trying to get better, though.
-a CS student, when he's not being a slacker.
-a lurker on the UF forum.
-one of Nate's merry bunch of misfits.
-writer of the occasional piece of text.
-avid readed of a great number of things, including DW. but then, that's pretty much a given here.
2.)how did he get here?
-I can't remember right now, but it was either via EPU forum, or during my time of obsessive searching for more good BGC fics.
3.)no, here as in the forum.
-linked DW on another forum, linked the stories from that forum to this place, then figured it'd be ne gers to not introduce myself.
4.)what now?
-I'll likely be popping up here and there in-between extended periods of lurking about.
5.)that all?
-Yes.
