*Shudder* That last line. Well done Mal, very well done indeed.
.... The Eye of Mordor on that flag, perhaps?

You know, if I could request a specific omake, I'd pick the first time one of the Gray Knights was introduced to the Battletech tabletop game.
Thank you Terrace for that absolutely horrifying idea, i'll see what i can do about it.
Mal, just stumbled across the Spacebattles thread on CITD for the first time since before New Year's, and came across a post of yours with this bit in it, from 2/4:
Quote:Are there any Gor coslifers in Fenspace? I doubt that.What about the http://everything2.com/title/Tuchux]Tuchux? (Not the best link, but the best I can find.

That link is broken, unless you drop the pipe ( "|" ) and everything after it.

It works a whole lot better if a) I'm awake when I type, and b) don't terminate the link markup with an italics close.

(I really need to start logging in more often when reading the forum. Anyway...)

I mean, Gor as a coslife thing (as opposed to a kink) where you're trying to make A WORLD CALLED GOR *whipcrack* a legit thing would be hilariously illegal under the Articles of Convention as a start.Quote:Are there any Gor coslifers in Fenspace?

Oh, they're not hard to find, hundreds show up for Pennsic every year. There's just not much written about them.

Could it possibly be because it's all between consenting adults and thus none of our *expletive* business?
Though that could be a good story in and of itself, some of the friction between the "Wax Apple" Senshi and these guys? With "Wax Apple" being taken from Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics: [img]http://whynotsuperheroes.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/screen-shot-2015-07-22-at-10-33-52-am.png?w=676"> That is, the folks who look good on the surface, but if you "bite into" them via conversation, etc., the turn out to be hollow.

Like I said, it's the difference between kink and coslife. Somebody wants to engage in hardcore BDSM and slave play in the bedroom and everybody's consenting, that's their business. Coslifing Gor OTOH implies a lot of things that aren't consensual--that can't be taken as consensual--baked into the group dynamics, and would be way on the illegal side everywhere in Fenspace.
We aren't talking about some random fantasy nudists like the Barsoomians, Gor revolves around the institutionalization and normalization of rape along with a healthy interest in the slave trade. A faction based on this isn't going to last long. Mr. Fnord interdimensional man of mystery FenWiki - Your One-Stop Shop for Fenspace Information "I. Drink. Your. NERDRAGE!"
Yeah I have to agree that they would definitely fall into the boskone factions. That said we really haven't seen or heard of much of that within the boskone either. Are there some lines even they refuse to cross?
"Boskone" is an umbrella term for a lot of different organisations. You've got the ordinary pirates and thionite dealers and other fairly standard-issue gangbanger types, militant "black bloc" anarchist types who got kicked out of everywhere more civilised because they were too much even for the Belters, hardcore nutcases like the Turnerites or the Slan/Separatist extremists and finally the rogue Mads like Agatha. They only really qualify as a single faction because they dislike the rest of Fenspace marginally more than they dislike each other, and because Asmodeus Grey has the threat of the Catgirling Machine or worse to keep them playing nice.
