I just ordered the "Japanese LD Quarterly" #27 (date?) for $15.00 plus
$3.00 for shipping and handling.  I hope the pictures are pretty enough
since I don't know japanese :) .  I didn't realize that it was THAT big a 
catalog though...  Do you think the pictures are enough for you tell
what you're looking at?

At that scale, you are going to have to put in the some stuff on the inside
of the cruiser.  Exposed decks and compartments and such.

	Though I would rather have certain other companies than
Palladium get this license, Palladium does have something going
for it: they really do support their stuff.  And they don't
take unnecessary liberties with the original material.  I would
probably use it like I use my shadowrun book: as just a reference
for ideas.  Heck, I'd get it if TSR got the license!  Just for
the artwork!
	I'd rather a company whose games I play get it though!
Steve Jackson Games has a lot of good writers and anime fans
also, so they would be a great choice.  Also, they have a LOT
of experience translating fictional worlds to GURPS.  (Uplift,
The Prisoner, Riverworld, Witch World, Conan, Horseclans, etc.)
	On a different note, would you prefer the majority of
the artwork be from the Japanese character designs, or the ones
that came out of Smith and Toren (of Studio Proteus)?  Keep in
mind that they went back to the original author of the books
and asked HIM which designs he liked better and he picked the
ones you see in the American comics.  Of course, a mixture
is possible, but I think this would just confuse people not
familiar with the characters.  (As you may have guessed, I like
the Smith/Toren Dirty Pair designs a LOT.)  :)

I watched my roommate's tape of Thursday's Simpsons today after recovering
from Animarathon, and besides its normal humor I was treated to several 
references...

I was told it was a rerun, which explains why the opening sequence was 
truncated, but here goes:

Smithers informs the boss of Homer's sterility, explaining Homer is "one of the
melon-heads in sector 7-G ..."

Why does 7G pop up in the damndest of places?

Homer is in a furniture store sampling a Lazyboy known as the SpineMelter 2000
with built in massage rollers.

Homer: Give me full power.
Asian Salesman: But sir-
Homer: Damnit, I said full power!

This sounded so much like a Kirk-Scotty Star Trek exchange that I wonder if it 
was coincidence...

When full power is reached, Homer experiences a short version of the last ten
minutes of 2001: A Space Odessey where he goes through warp towards a vertical
opening and a close-up of his iris changes color several times...

The older daughter (Maggie?) lists books from Great stories of Western
Civilization including Herman Melville's twin epics _Omu_ amd Taipee...

Naturally, I though Nausicaa, but my literature is so rusty there probably
really is a book of Melville's by that name.. :)

Well, it's 2:10 am and I'm getting hungry...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Now that I have trimmed down my Japanese comic collection to only the very 
best, I would like to share it with manga lovers of the world.  For only
ONE DOLLAR, I will send an 8-page sample of some of the rarest, most
bizzare Japanese cartoons in existence.  English subtitles provided.
One dollar is not a very big risk to take, folks.  And I promise you won't
be disappointed.  If you get an amphtamine-like high from violent movies
or cartoons, this stuff will give you a crack high.  So, if interested,
send a self-addressed, stamped (29 cents) business envelope to:

Henry Robertson
2206 Durant Ave. #5
Berkeley, CA 94704

And if you like it, contact me via e-mail for a catalog.  
Questions welcome.
I look forward to hearing from you....

Original Gundam novels are USELESS as references because they are SOOOO
different from their anime counterpart, unless you want to base your
novel soley on the novels. Besides, Tomino's writing WAS awful when
he first wrote original Gundam novels, although his writing vastly
improved in later novels.
