Viking Amoeba

A New Viking Amoeba Recruit from Sam Sykes

/

We have a new recruit, and this one is definitely on fire.  He’s going to light things up.  The Internet will be ablaze with heated conversation.  We’re pretty sure you’ll have the hots for him.  Really.  We do. How are you enjoying my puns?  Not even a little laugh?  Really?  Fine.  If you’re going to be that way, then I’ll leave you with the following: The Vastatiotor — Castellan Ustulanthis Strength 6; Intelligence 5 Special Ability:  Scorched Earth (If Castellan is involved in combat, inflict 1 point of damage to all enemies on the field oncecombat has ended and an additional 2 if Castellan dies) (Tome of the Undergates by Sam Sykes)  If you want to see the other additions to the army, check out our Viking Amoeba Army page.

Interesting Fact: Peter Orullian's on the Cover of Tome of the Undergates by Sam Sykes!

Don’t believe me?  See for yourself: You can click the image to see a larger version.  There aren’t many large pictures of Peter Orullian on Google, but you can clearly see that his beautiful face was the inspiration for the white-haired sea ninja on the cover of Sam Sykes‘ book.  One might also wonder whether Sykes took inspiration from Peter’s progressive rock voice… A smart listener would wonder why we’re mentioning these two authors at all.  To which we say:  that’s our magic secret.

Question of the Week

Question of the Week: What new scifi/fantasy TV series are you looking forward to (or currently enjoying)?

/

Apparently the folks down in Hollywood have decided that maybe regular people kind of like science fiction and fantasy!  Yay for geek and nerd-dom!  At least, that’s how it appears based on the sheer number of new science fiction and fantasy based television series that are slated to come out this year.  Granted, the folks at SyFy did just cancel Stargate: Universe, but they also have a new Battlestar Galactica series on their books, so maybe they’re not completely evil. With all these new shows coming to the tube, we want to know which ones you’re looking forward to (after the fold):
