Topic: Star Wars Trivia...Useless and Otherwise
Subject: Okay... partial credit for Deucalion...
...Just read that the Wookies, at one point, were considered for the Ewok role in RotJ so half-a-point for Deuc! I was thinking of an earlier stage in the development, though, pre-wookie, pre-ewok.
In addition to the two clues provided earlier here's another. The race is mentioned in several novelizations, maybe even in the films once or twice, and is definitely included in the Ultimate Alien Anthology source book for the RPG...

Subject: *bzzzt* I'm sorry, Tim, but that's incorrect.
Wookies is not quite the right answer... A couple of hints for you:
1) 'Y' not try a different race... 'uzz' you scared?
2) The first time I had actually heard of this paricular species was in the novel 'Splinter of the Mind's Eye'
P.S. I have no idea why I called you Tim.
P.P.S. I believe Ray Park was a fight choreographer before being cast as Maul... wasn't he?

...was a Zabrak... and a gersh-dern nasty one at that... pity he died the way he did, would have loved to see him in at least one more of the films. 
Mildly obscure one for ya... In RotJ, the Ewoks were not the originally planned inhabitants of Endor. What race was originally slated to he'p the rebels on Endor?

Topic: Help Lou Design a Campaign Setting!
Subject: Notes on elves, etc...
I think I get where you're coming from on the elvin sub-races, Lou and, my thoughts on the Mith'ganni (as it stands right now, anyway) would be that they are, essentially, 'wood elves'(Sheh'shiri) with 'Mith'ganni' being a dialect-specific name that that particualr tribe/nation/whatever might use to refer to itself - I've always leaned towards the notion that the wood/wild elves would be something akin to the 'tribal folk' of our own reality, in a way... Whether Sioux, Cherokee, Choctaw, Seminole, or whatever, 'we' typically generalize and refer to them en masses as 'Native Americans' or 'American Indians', right? Kind of figured the same thing might apply with the Sheh'shiri (and maybe even the Teh'Shiri to a certain extent) where they're commonly/generally referred to as "Wood or Wild Elves" but, in each individual tribe/clan/band, may refer to themselves as something different.
As to changing the Mith'ganni name in the story itself, I do not, in any way have a problem with that at all. I'm sure I can come up with a new name, etc, and editing it in throughout the posts wouldn't be a major effort i don't think... As I mentioned earlier, it was the concept behind Tek's mith'ganni that attracted me to begin with, not so much the name and, since we're 'building up from baseline,' I'm sure that a more setting-specific variant can be done - Might actually be better that way as we can avoid stepping on any of Tek's intellectual property (as you've already established the nomadic nature of the wood elves, here, and that (coupled with a preference for the plains/steppes) was my biggest 'pull' to the mith'ganni, anyway. (Thoughts?)
I'm still toying with the Port Drasnia map - lots of blank space, yet - but should have something available for you to look at in the next couple of days. Did you mention somewhere that you had a rough map of the continent available? If so, I'd like to get a peek if I could, to kind of give myself an idea of the coastline and/or location of Port Drasnia in relation to the rest of the continent... not that it should make much differnce to the city map itself, but it might help me to orient a couple of things and perhaps even give a name or two to some streets, etc...

Subject: Elvin sub-races...
...are in the works.
Pending a nod of approval or somesuch from Tek, the Mith'ganni will certainly be receiving an overhaul to fit into this setting (names may change, etc), and I've got concepts for at least 3 more elf-variants that should be ready for some sort of review in the next few days... Also been playing with some custom maps and such that might be useful at some point (mostly of Port Drasnia based on descriptions, etc, that Lou's already provided) and, if those turn out decently, I'll pass them along for your review, Cap'n.

What's that old saying about the best laid plans? 
Intentions aside, I ran into more than a little trouble during my off time (as if no one noticed) and didn't get to do the posting I had intended... One new modem/router and one mangled video card later (not to mention the 'family interruptions' that delayed things) and I'm rolling... again! Anyhoo, I'm hoping that the newly replaced modem/router improves my connection at home (so far, so good), as well, and maybe just maaaaaaybeeee, this will be the 'puter problems rest area for a while.
Cobbling... reading... responding... and posting soon.

Topic: A Shadow Over Drasnia
Subject: Tavern Talk
“From what I hear you and Nyx are not so different in strengths, only it takes two of you to accomplish what one of him does…”
Nyx spiked a brow at the witch’s observation but said nothing. Bold, this one, he thought as his gaze traveled around the room, placing her own throat to the blade and defying the hand that holds the knife to slide it into the flesh. Cay went on to perform her parlor trick with the candle by way of demonstrating her skill and, as simple a thing as he was sure it must be for spell-twisters, the bit with the candle-flame had brought a bit of a grin to the assassin’s face…A nice effect if nothing else…
Her quip in response to his recommendation that they not forget the basics of planning any job, though, dug at Nyx… Thought that one up all by yourself, huh?
“No, my precocious little round-ear,” he sneered, his yellow eyes reflecting the still red light of the candle, “I did not. I simply thought it appropriate to remind you that this business is much different from bending candle-flames to your will or luring stupid little noble boys back to your shanty for a branding, yes?” Suddenly, he had great interest goading her into giving him cause to open her belly and, had Prien seen fit to suggest that the pretending little slitch was due, he might have done so then and there. The approach of the serving wench, though, reminded him that his god had already offered up the mark and, for some reason, required him to take it with this one in tow.
“Hello, there,” the girl smiled, drawing the mith’ganni’s gaze from Cay, “And welcome to the Hydra’s Breath. The kitchen is making a fine soup and there’s always mutton. Now…can I interest you in some food…or some drink?”
“Wine,” Nyx demanded, “something with a bit of spice, perhaps. None of that piss that you serve the round-eared sots that upholster this hole.”
((OOC: Just a little something to keep the interaction going... More later, I promise. ))

Thanks to modem and video card issues, I've spent most of the 'freetime' troubleshooting and repairing/replacing... Up and running now and posting something soon...

Okay... off to post a bit of something... my apologies for the delay.

Topic: Help Lou Design a Campaign Setting!
Subject: Intellectual property...
Completely agreed... Tek's mith'ganni are indeed fascinating but, as you said, I'd hate to 'steal' anything from him. Perhaps a rehashing of the concept (which is what grabbed me to begin with) to have something "similar but not exactly identical" is the way to go there... I've got some ideas of my own, of course, and, as we go, they'll likely work themselves into something less plagiaristic.
Tek's not been around for a while, now, and has never been the best about answering PMs very quick-like, but I will be sure to let him know that I've "borrowed his ideas" (at least for the Drasnia game) and, maybe get a bit of a blessing from him to 'go ahead and expeirment with/modify' for a Braudian version. ... Never hurts to ask, right?

Aaaaand our luscious Sisters De Moria - quite the backgorund they've scrawled out for themselves, eh? Begs the question "where exactly did they find room to dispose of all those bodies" doesn't it?  You just know that those two have been killing since kindergarten.
