    No idea but it's awesome. It's like if Jack Kirby and Steranko wrote GI Joe.

    The name "Cobra-la" was supposed to just be a placeholder name for the secret country where Cobra Commander came from in the tepid GI Joe animated film from the 80's. "Like Cobra came from Shangri-La!" It never got changed to anything better.

    Koh-Buru-La is probably just an attempt to make that sorta good.

    One thinks "Starscream" is a composite of star and scream. But in actual fact it's of stars and cream.

    I swear a long time ago I talked about how Snake Eyes was a blonde guy in the comics at one point and you didn't believe me.

    His mask was blonde... He maybe was before being disfigured, I don't think they ever show his eyes and hair in a flashback.

    But in this comic he's not pretty for long...

    "What he thinks is a Cobra combat drone is really a living engine of destruction forged in the red glare of a the smelting pits of an impossibly-distant grey world of eternal war."   #Swoon  

    I think I need to pick this one up!

    This is also the only time anyone has made Starscream badass. "Paragon of DEATH!"

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.

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/
