I found a used copy of the White Wolf* In Nomine** rulebook, and am using it to make an altered book. I was working on a page last night and realized that the illustration of the Archangel Michael was swiped from an old photo of Michael Praed as Robin Hood. Had the hair and the sword and everything. Fucker's haunting me, I swear.

*EDIT: I'm full of shit. It's a Steve Jackson Games game.
**Role-playing game involving Angels and Demons. Hardcover, with hilarious Bible-white pleather binding and red foil stamping.

That's like Jody Whatsername that did the covers for all the Mercedes Lackey books about Whatshisname the Herald-Mage. Yes, you can tell it's been at least 10 years since I read those stupid books. ;) I'd love to see what you do with the book too!

I think Mr Big Eyes is actually married to Mercedes Lacky. I'm afraid of his horses.

LOL I'm afraid of most things related to Mercedes Lackey these days.

Yuppers--that first Misty herald mage book has got a Michael Praed as Loxley cover, but all the rest seem to not be blatant ripoffs of a 20 year old publicity still... I don't read her--she makes me unhappy. I still get miffed over the bean sidhe in the Serrated Edge series.

Jannest, sweeting, is that you?

I haven't read any Misty Lackey in years. I used to enjoy her as sort of junk food fantasy but she got real boring real fast. At the time that the Herald-Mage books came out, of course, I thought the use of Mr. Praed on the cover was pretty cool but I got better.

And yes, dearest, it *is* me. :)

yay! I was just thinking of you, as a matter of fact--did you know that Bruce Young and Bill Campbell are (still) doing "Dungeonmaster" in LA?

Ask Abbie B.--she's seen it, like, a dozen times :) We were going to go when I was in LA in Feb for the Buffy thingie, but ran out of time...

I haven't talked to Abbie in a while. I suspect it's time to drop her an email as well. :) What Buffy thing?

The charity fundraiser they do every spring--I spent most of the party hanging out with Jeff Mariotte and his wife Maryelizabeth Hart :)

You can tell I'm clueless about all of this or even who Jeff Mariotte and his wife are. LOL (I'm very new to Buffy fandom anyway, having just gotten sucked in in the past 9 mos or so thanks to Nancy Hutchins' Seth Green obsession, F/X and Miss [livejournal.com profile] antigone921.)
