Migraine day... like a mole in my brain

Unpunched. Box has some wear but structurally sound. Components are unused and unpunched. Lots of maps and over 200 pieces. With all the Titan and Olympus movies coming out.. this old game finds new relevance... being based on the same stories.

Game is in excellent shape and has been verified as complete. Counters are still unpunched! Box is in very good condition. Note: This may be the 2nd edition which came with a few miniatures, if so, then it doesn't have the minis but won't effect play

Soft reserve $60

I think the Metagame company put together some of the best $3.00 games at the time that would probably easily go for $20-$40 with some nice components tossed in now-a-days.

I don't know if you'll allow this, as the description says it includes RPG rules. I sold my copy many years ago, but frankly don't remember any RPG rules about it!

This is one I've actually used - I ran a GURPS mythological game using these boards. If there really are RPG rules included, I didn't use them at all.

All the little chicks with crimson lips, go...

Hey, get your stinking cursor off my face! I got nukes, you know.

Hemispheres (1978)

This album picked up where 2112 and A Farewell to Kings left off. It isn't as well known as those or Rush's subsequent releases, but it is simply brilliant.

It only had four songs on it, but still clocks in at 36 minutes! The entire first side picks up from "Cygnus X-1" off of Farewell. Called "Cygnus X-1, Book 2 - Hemispheres" (or simply "Hemispheres"), the band ruminates on the different human natures personified by Apollo (all work and no play) and Dionysis (all play and no work). Only by bringing them both into human nature can we have one single, perfect sphere. A great piece.

Side 2 included the first long Rush instrumental (not counting sections of "2112 Suite"), "La Villa Strangiata," that Rush liked to play in concert.

And it included "The Trees," a short (by Rush standards) song that has some of Neil Peart's very finest lyrics.

Re: "La Villa Strangiata"

Whenever I hear it, particularly the 2nd half, I can't help but think about Rube Goldberg contraptions in WB cartoons.

Is there anyone else out there who shares this feeling?

Yeah, I remember the time you and I took some friends to the show. I think you'd asked them what they thought of it afterward, and the guy sitting next to me said "It was great except for the sing-along part," looking at me.

I'd sung through the entire concert. (Hadn't done that since seeing The Who in 1989.)

Miracleman: The Golden Age

The only other continuous series Neil Gaiman worked on was Miracleman, which he picked up after Alan Moore decided he had said all he could about the god-like figure he had created. Neil took the characters and made them human again, while retaining their immortality. It was a smart decision, since he had had success in applying these same characteristics to the Endless.

I count myself among the many people who hope that Neil will get the chance to finish telling his stories of the Miraclemen.

Marvel doesn't have the rights. Neil Gaiman won the rights back from Todd McFarlane a couple of years ago in a much publicized court case.

When the bullet hits the bone!

I believe the Gaiman / McFarlane lawsuit in question was in reference to properties created for Spawn (notably, Angela, Medieval Spawn, and Cagliostro).

Gaiman has commented on his website regarding McFarlane's claims to the Miracleman properties, which Gaiman purports to be rather shaky, if at all present. Link (look for article date: Wednesday, February 25, 2004) :

Yeah, but my understanding of the deal was that Neil would give Mc~~Asshole~~Farland the rights to Angela and Medieval Spawn, in exchange for the rights to the Miracleman franchise. Once decided, it fell into the courts again because of some ridiculous fanagaling that McFarland did to try to get the Miracleman rights BACK.

Word has it that it fell through, though. At least, I hope that's the case....

I'd like to resist the idea of throwing all of Greco-Roman mythology together and adhere more closely to The Iliad and The Odyssey. But here is the suggestion, even though it appears to be more directly inspired by Jason and the Argonauts.
