approaching the gates of the underworld at mach 12 and counting...

And people wonder why I like Rebecca Borgstrom's work when she can turn a phrase like this: "They're like this," Lisa says. "It's easy to get into the Underworld. There is no body that does not have its personal gate of death; no soul, without its gate of emptiness; no mind, without its gate of deepness. That's three whole gates per person, and girls have a fourth, so you can see how easy it is. Getting out, on the other hand, is hard." -- http://rebecca.HITHERBY.COM/archives/000540.php If you haven't read Hitherby Dragons, which is a sort of web-comic without the pictures, do yourself a favour and do so. And if you like that, get a copy of her Nobilis RPG; the only RPG rulebook that can be mistaken for a gorgeous coffee-table art-book.

I'm rather fond of her talespinning ability.

And I've only had the chance to leaf through Nobilis once, but it went straight onto the "Offically Coveted" list. *wistful look*
