    I'm having a Rocket Raccoon moment that's for sure. I'm guessing he'll be very popular with the movie crowd.

    I'm a big Rocket fan from way back, but I'm not super familiar with his renaissance. He seems very surly in the new trailer. Why so surly, Rocket?

    I'm also not familiar with Star-Lord at all, and the last time I saw Gamora or Drax was back in the "Infinity watch" days.

    So I'm really not sure where the characters are at, in their currentish books.

    I picked up the first couple trades based solely on memories of Rocket from my childhood. I'm not sure he's surly, but he's more roguish and not the kinda Flash Gordon character he was on Half World. 

    I was never up to speed on Marvel's space characters really. Except Quasar and Nova for a little bit.

    I honestly never heard of Star Lord before, but he's apparently been around since the 70's.

    Drax in the 90's was basically flying invulnerable space idiot. Like a Hulk that never changes. Gamora was basically "Mrs. Adam Warlock" who sometimes kicked someone.  I remember she was supposedly the deadliest woman in the galaxy, but I don't remember a single thing she did.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
