I have to take the opportunity to pimp the works of a great sci-fi humor writer I know: Toby Frost. He has a great series of books set in a kinda steampunk future taking place in the Second British Empire. I say "kinda steampunk" because all those cogs and levers are strictly an aesthetics issue rather than basing a future on steam power taking us to the stars.
Actually I wrote a book review for the series in KODT magazine some time back, so I'll just link to it here:
I finally remembered to read your review.. an excellent review, and it sounds like an excellent series!
Will have to see if I can find them here in Ozland.
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
Dammit, Mossfoot.. you've got me hooked on Fuzzy Knights, now!
