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.

This sounds highly amusing. Would love to see what you do to the book.

The Backflip Boy used to play In Nomine with a bunch of our insane Ren Faire friends up in Milwaukee, actually--it's based pretty much half on Dante and half on Terry Ptarchett and Neil Gaiman's _Good Omens" with some of the Prophecy films thrown in for good measure.

As for art, Carol Burell, an old friend from RoS fandom was an art designer on one of the In Nominee books, so hey, you never know... :)

*ahem*\

art DIRECTOR and I should go home and sleep now, because my brain went... away.

I just can't get away from you, can I? ;-)

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!

We'll see if anything comes of it.

Hit her with a rock. It's the only way.

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

My favorite still swipe was a paperback cover that was a slightly re-worked version of that still of Athena from Battlestar Galactica. Had the helmet and jumpsuit and everything.

Nah, Tara's like my little sister (or she used to be, anyway). It wouldn't be very nice at all!

Re:

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

[taraljc.livejournal.com]

this would, of course, all make so much mroe sense if I knew who you were...

hint?

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?

Re:

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

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. :)

Oh oops. Well,the most obvious one would be to tell you that Unca Neil says 'hi', now wouldn't it? :)

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

No, no, use the rock!

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?

Re: positive ID

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

OMG! No, I had no idea! LMAO! *wonders if Bill, er, BILLY is still playing Peter Orc Eater*

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...

hey, you been hanging out at the Well at all? I just read "Coraline" and it's 12 kinds of nifty.

Re: positive ID

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

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

Re: unca neil

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

I skim the Well every once in a while. Miss lucy_anne and I heard half of Coraline at Boskone and it was fantabulous. Btw, I theoretically run the neil_gaiman thing here.

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

Re: positive ID

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

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 antigone921.)

I think he owns a bunch of hotels or something.

I thought maybe he was that guy from the Small Faces.
