Quote:Mind you, a lot of these are obscure to me, too. I've heard of some of them, but not all.
...starting with obscure '80s cartoons this time.
Quote:Oh, we didn't think it was silly -- we took it on face value, as an alien civilization whose core rules we might not comprehend, but whose spell-casting mummies (and their incompetent henchmen) badly needed killing. Let's see, that was the adventure where I first used "Lightning's Hand", and I took out Mumm-ra's temple with "I Feel The Earth Move" by Carole King. (Hey. That's one I forgot in the "spell songbook" thread... gotta add it.) Anyway, I digress, badly... I've heard of "Silverhawks", but never saw it.
Silverhawks -- because no matter how silly the Warriors might think Third Earth is, it's mundane compared to the Limbo Galaxy.
Quote:Never heard of any of these.
Tigersharks ... Spiral Zone ... Galaxy Rangers
Quote:I remember the title, and I almost kinda-sorta remember the cartoon itself. I don't remember being impressed...
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors
Quote:Well, it would make a perfect setting for the "Doug as a teacher" theme that crops up in many of the Steps...

Quote:Dealing... wouldn't be hard. Accepting and understanding would be another thing entirely. Then again he might just rationalize it as having fallen into a vaguely cartoon-like universe and leave it at that. This could be very, very fun...
Samurai Cat -- and now I'm having Trigun flashbacks and want to see a gunfight between Meryl Strife and Miaowara Shimura. Not to mention Doug trying to deal with a world where you can catch a Greyhound from 1600s Japan to 1930s Chicago.
Quote:Ooh, poor little psychokitty...
And Shiro would be really annoyed when bullets flying near Doug didn't behave the way Buddha intended.
Quote:Hmmm. Possibilities. Many possibilities. Much depends on whether or not the people native to G&S worlds sing their day to day lives the way the plays seem to imply.
Gilbert & Sullivan.
Quote:You speak to the Double Dean, you know -- of the College of Comparative Irrelevancy and the College of the Creative and Destructive Arts, the sole being tasked with the preservation of that terrible artifact of theological topology, J. Halvah's project. (Yes, and I was there when it was first switched on, making me a J. Halvah's Witness...) In other words, I was one of the original online players back in the 1980s -- you can find my name on a dorm on the campus map in the book. So I'm very familiar with this setting. And I'm surprised I never thought of it. There are Definite Possibilities there...
IOU.
Quote:Ranma's joining the Team? Oh. Dear. Gods.
(A friend and I are sending Ranma there on a moopsball scholarship. He thinks he's going to get away from the weirdness in his life. Muaha.)
Quote:I've heard a lot of good things about this, but I've never seen it. Your description only reinforces all the great things I've heard. I think I should find a copy soon.
Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
