The Quote of the Day from one year ago!

Michael Stackpole (+3)
"Michael A. Stackpole is an award-winning game and computer game designer who was born in 1957 and hates writing these &#39;About the Author&#39; pieces because they force him to refer to himself in the third person. Being neither a Gand nor a Presidential candidate, he finds this awkward. Perhaps if he had not grown up in a normal family, enjoying an utterly normal life, this third person thing wouldn't bother him, but then he also thinks it's better to be known for what he's written and done than for any vaguely interesting bits of nonsense about his past."

- Michael A. Stackpole goes on a bit of a rant on the "About the Author" page in X-wing: The Bacta War

Carl Sagan (+1)
"How would an interstellar civilization set out to explore its neighboring star systems? It might establish staging posts, colonies on planets of nearby stars, but this would take time, time to find and modify favorable planets, time to build new spacecraft. Eventually, later generations of explorers would set out, wending their way among the worlds, creating an interstellar nervous system, binding up the stars. Perhaps they would come upon another expanding civilization and encounter beings previously known only from their radio transmissions. Star wars are unlikely. One civilization almost certainly would be far more advanced than the other. It would be no contest."

Legacy (+2)
"Deep within the Sith catacombs on Korriban, Darth Nihl continues his hunt for Darth Talon. The dark-side miasma that long shielded the Sith threatens to cloud Nihl's senses as well. But before he was a Sith, before he was a warlord, Nihl was a tracker&mdash;a hunter. The best of all the Nagai. He can sense Talon&mdash;somewhere&mdash;but cannot yet find her. She has hidden herself away&mdash;but she is near&mdash;very near. He will find her. He will learn the secret of what became of Darth Krayt. Then he will kill Darth Talon&hellip;and perhaps eat her heart."

Power of the Jedi Sourcebook (+8)
"One popular story in the Jedi Temple related how Master Windu was surrounded by a cadre of Gank killers&mdash;some of the galaxy's most formidable warriors&mdash;all of whom had blasters drawn and pointed at him. Master Windu never drew his lightsaber. He only laid his hand on it, and one by one, looked into the eyes of his opponents. Finally, he said three words: 'It's your decision.' One after another, the Gank killers laid down their weapons and quietly surrendered."
