He sent some of these to me and they look great. Very high quality.

I edited your post to add spoiler tags. Please don't post spoilers even if you think everyone else already knows. Talon had beaten Spiral six times in their previous matches, so I think it's unlikely that Spiral was actually the better player. As for the rest, I would rather not speculate on how an ...

IIRC, some loroi males work as essentially 'mental health specialists,' do any such work in hospitals? As in, do military hospitals (assuming the loroi make such distinctions) in a secure place like one of the Sister Worlds include any males among their staff of counselors, there to help the wounde...

I'm curious if drawing 2D backgrounds would help with the update pace?

These are 2D backgrounds. No, it doesn't help.

The forums are currently having some kind of problem whereby activation emails are no longer being sent for new accounts. While I'm trying to figure this out, I will manually activate new accounts when I see them. If you have an account you need activated, please drop me an email at arioch@well-of-s...

I'm not sure how much thought is going into it or how much is artistic rendition to make immediate sense to the reader, but are particle beams "reflected" uniformly or does the hardtroop armor scatter it? Even if the armor was not penetrated at all, there would be some scattering due to roughness o...

Here are the descriptions of the relevant abilities from GURPS Psionics: gurps_surge.gif gurps_confuse.gif GURPS has Electrokinesis as a separate power from Psychokinesis, but fundamentally they're the same thing, and these two abilities are different applications of the same phenomenon. If anything...

Arioch, it's been a while, this isn't a dig or anything at you, I just want to know, are we still going?

Yes, we are still going.

The Loroi are very visual and use a variety of gestures. However, I think most hand gestures are pretty abstract and mostly require a shared gesture vocabulary. When Alex gives Fireblade a middle finger, she can guess from his facial expression that it doesn't mean anything good, but has no way of k...

What games do loroi (warrior) children play, and in particular does 'make-believe' enter into it? Among human pre-adolescents, there's all sorts of 'imaginary' scenarios that they make up (from pointing finger-guns at each other and shouting 'Bang!' in Cops & Robbers), or taking a walk through thei...

Regarding the Diral. Assuming that it lasts two Earth years: (2.84 Perrein years). Would it be fair to say that a Diral lasts for 68 perrein "weeks". I don't think the term "Perrein week" has any particular meaning. Deinar has the nanapi which is a 12-day month (a transit of the smaller moon), but ...

Arcade, specifically a place where Loroi might go to play or enjoy some recreation. A mepodipir would be a sort of carnival with rides and games. The arcade, sadly, was a rather short-lived phenomenon in our culture. The word actually just means a covered passageway, making it synonymous with "mall...

I now generic engineering was used to create the Loroi by a precursor race, and have most likely used what we think of it and the old fashion version of selective breeding for traits on them sleeves. I believe if I remember right there are some mechanical augmentations here and there for boosting t...

Quick question: I've been mulling over ideas for a fanfiction project, and one question eludes me: How far is the distance between human space and the Loroi/Urmiak battlezone? Because one of my settings is a legit Transhuman Space / Traveller fusion setting, and the plan is that an IEB (Imperial Ex...

Question: the picture linked on the Insider page (of a younger Fireblade enjoying the view out over Toridas harbor as the sun sets) seems to show the sun setting off to the right behind inland mountains, while the map of Maoren linked on Insider shows that Toridas seems to have the sea/ocean only t...

Assuming that Alex's eyes are officially brown (which is what I'd call them), would that be considered a strange eye-color by the loroi? They seem to have a good bit more color diversity than humans at least when it comes to hair color; are there loroi with brown irises? There are Loroi with brown ...

Contrasting bands are a standard feature of warning coloration because they are easier to see, but red and yellow (or some combination) are the most common warning colors aside from white and black. My guess is that this is because they are easier to see rather than some kind of association with blo...

I am curious about the biologically based displays, though because, for the loroi, wouldn't "blue" be a warning color due to their blood? What significance would yellow hold for them biologically? Is it their bruising color perhaps? Blue is the color of Loroi blood, but it's also the color of their...
