If you were going to be trapped on some made up fantasy world which would it be?

Anarchic, free spirits with amazing bodies capable of doing things physically impossible for normals.

Also, not all Planar neings are evil. Aasmirs....

Judging from the wiki article, I'm not sure how "The Culture" is either plausible or manages to make an interesting setting for fiction. :yeahright:

Read some Banks, then.  The Culture seems plausible for a post-scarcity economy with extremely intelligent AIs.  The fiction tends to focus on the edges of the Culture and their interactions with other civilizations.

The aasimar aren't as meddlesome as the fiends.  Is your thirst for tiefling waifs so great that you would risk having a soul, and having something terrible happen to it?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Because it was horrible drivel!

Oh, I don't disagree; he's not good enough to accept any of his work blindly and expect it to be as good as his earlier pre-1995 works--Sacrament is probably the best of his later works, and even that one was marginal--but he does have his moments of fucked-upedness, and is not afraid to put some really horrific and stomach-turning shit on paper.

Well after that one, I'm afraid I'm unlikely to give him another try.

Actually when reading Coldheart I was like a homosexual must have written this book. :blush:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

If that was your first book of his, then that is indeed unfortunate.  :lol:

:lol:  Didn't need to do a Wiki to figure that one out.

Humm, now this is a good selection.
Being a noble in the Portland Protective Assosiation is better than being a noble in medieval Europe, me thinks.
The Bearkillers are overrated, and the Corvallis Republic is just a hippie commune.

It's run by infinitely intelligent utilitarian supercomputers that always make the best decisions for everyone involved. Most stories take place on the frontiers of the Culture where it's meddling with primitive societies.

Too much big goverment for my taste.

I'd have thought the Isle of Man.

I'd be useful in this world.  :showoff:

He has an uncomfortable fascination with the whole Wiccan hippie commies who can kick ass so long as lesbians are involved.
PDH!

I don't remember any lesbians in that commune. :unsure:

 You weren't looking very hard. There was the evil lesbian assassin woman (who takes a wiccan lover herself) who murdered some lesbians defending the little wiccan prince. In a moment of compassion she drags them into each others arms when she sees one of the dying pair reaching for the other.

There were other lesbians elsewhere, but that particular scene sticks out. He has some masochistic fetish for women that are both powerful and do not desire men.

I've decided I want to be in River City, Iowa from The Music Man.

If a con man could run that town, can you imagine what one truly debased and motivated individual could do to that place?  :ph34r:

Shirley Jones would be my little bound cockslut inside of 15 minutes.  Right after I sold little Winthrop to The Buffalo Bills for a pedo gangbang.
