Actually, the moon in 'Space 1999' got shot outta orbit, and the crew of Moonbase Alpha were stuck on the runaway no-longer-satellite.

Who knows, maybe they will kill off Selune, then crack the moon in half, unleashing unmitigated destruction. 4E will pick up a couple hundred years later, with the remnants of civilizaton trying to pick up the pieces. Commmunities will be isolated pockets of order in a sea of wilderness chaos. And into this realm will come....

Crack the moon in half?

Didn't they do that in that low budget sci-fi series from long ago called 'Space 1999'?

For February, there's Lord of the Spiders (aka Blades of Mars), by Michael Moorcock, with an introduction by comic book artist Roy Thomas. This is the sequel to City of the Beast (aka Warriors of Mars).

Hate to pick nits, but Roy Thomas was/is a comic book writer and editor not an artist. Although... He's pretty darn talented, so I guess you could call him an artist. Right?

A. Merritt?

Any specific suggestions? Gygax keeps pushing me to do The Moon Pool, but it's relatively easy to find in print.

I did buy "Seven Footprints to Satan" last year, but mostly for the title. I'll get around to Merritt soon, but I haven't read any of his stuff yet.

I have a buncha Merritt sitting in my to-read pile... I have, however, read "Seven Footprints to Satan" and think it's delightful in a Robert E. Howard "Skullface" kinda way. Beyond that, I can't really say at this point.

E. R. Eddison might be another to look into. I was gonna suggest James Branch Cabell, but there seems to stuff of his available currently.

A. Merritt?
