A: Why would my species expose their brains through a glass dome? Rule Of Cool. Plus, only the rich aliens do this - your average everyday Joe Six-Pack alien can't afford the surgery.

A: How can I ensure my Evil Tower is always stormy?

The horse is a beautiful and holy creature, sacred to the great god OoomphaLoompha, who once incarnated as such and impregnated the Great Turtle Goddess Iki, who took a couple minutes off from her job of holding the world upon her back to give birth to...but that's not important here.

A: Can I Have A Destroyed Civilization with No Ruins? One way would be to do something similar to how Michael Moorcock ended the world of Melnibone' and the Young Kingdoms at the end of Stormbringer - and in a battle of the gods, it really doesn't matter who wins - the world will be toast (and since it'll be rebuilt by the victors, who get to write the ...
