REFLECTIONS FROM A BACTA TANK -- A BRIEF RESPITE FROM PAIN FOR A SITH LORD.

PIC INFO: Mega spotlight on concept art of Darth Vader without life support suit, in his Bacta tank on Mustafar, artwork by London, UK-based concept deigner/ sculptor, Luke Fisher, from "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" (2016). Lucasfilm Ltd.

"He’s really a burns victim, and it’s not going to be fun for him when he’s not in the suit – he’s going to be uncomfortable. I love the idea of showing that he’s vulnerable as well. Just seeing those scars and realising that he’s… an amputee…it just [reminds] you of that [trauma] before he does all his stuff, it makes you torn."

-- "Rogue One" director GARETH EDWARDS on seeing Lord Vader in a bacta tank

If you would like to purchase the hardcover version of Journey Through the Video Game World, you can go to one of the following…

The real difference between fantasy and science fiction is that if you have too many belts, you're fantasy, and if you have too many zippers, you're science fiction. If you have too many of both, you split the difference and land in a contemporary technothriller where everybody is secretly a vampire.

__________________________________

This is a new server, so don’t be worried about being behind on things! ______________________________________

297 CE is a 19th century fantasy rp server set in a crossover of multiple fandoms, various fantasy stories that all took place seperate from one another before eventually the borders were pulled away. It features an orignal Pokemon region and the settings of The Inheritance Cycle, Wings of Fire, Ikoria, Wereworld, and The Seven Realms. ______________________________________

Since the planet’s prehistory, the waters of the oceans have been impossible to navigate once you reached a certain point away from the shores. Even species like SeaWings and Tidebound Elves, who can survive indefinitely in the ocean, were unable to leave the bounds of their region safely. This allowed the continents to develop mostly unmolested; save a few fringe cases where the waters calmed for a time in certain regions, there was no intercontinental colonialism, even as technology reached and surpassed the point where it might be expected on most continents. All that, however, changed…

Just shy of three hundred years ago, the waters calmed. You might wonder why calm waters are referred to as chaos. Imagine, if you will, six different versions of Europe in the 1600s, culturally distinct, but all with the weaponry, sailing expertise and mentality to expand, explore and exploit. Because each had the power to defend themselves, only one unfortunate continent faced the kind of destruction the Americas and Africa did in our world; still, the conflicts of the first two hundred years still smolder. In recent decades, most of the continents have given up overseas conquest, respecting one another’s sovereignty on paper. However, the global trade network has made new resources and new ideas widely available. Nations grow obsessed with their roots, becoming isolationist and aggressive to their neighbors. Wealthy mercantile barons clash with old nobility structures, each equally dismissive of those they crush underfoot. Each nation watches its neighbors with suspicion. Fragile alliances and more fragile trade networks tremble every time a world leader coughs. Within the greater nations, old grudges surface where least expected, threatening to tear them apart from within. And of course, Traiyete is still a fantasy world. Monsters lurk on the edge of civilization, longing to tear down the walls and roads that hem them in. As old gods fade from relevance, they try and claw together their last vestiges of power. The powers of the world experiment with magic, seeking to twist it to their own ends, often heedless of consequence. Lost relics created by the spellcasters of old wait buried, to be unearthed by wicked, noble, or simply opportunistic treasure hunters. There are many stories to be told across a sprawling canvas of settings.

Save the library. Save the world.

Are you ready for a new YA fantasy adventure? Emily Carlisle was never the main character of her own story. Known only as the Witch of the Stacks, she helped any hero or heroine who asked. Potions, spells, and the occasional magical artifact were passed on. She never kept the power for herself, and never wanted to be anything more than a support character. That is, until the Rot began to spread…
