Odds & Ends: 2005 June
This month -- Powers and Planes. Location¸ location¸ location. In many comic books¸ setting is everything. Whether battling degenerate demihumans in the darkened ruins of an alien civilization¸ duking it out with nefarious masterminds on space stations in the planet's orbit¸ or playing deadly political games in undersea kingdoms¸ superheroes typically find themselves in the darnedest places. An exotic setting can make any adventure more interesting. Many such locations can make life very interesting for characters¸ and even small changes to the environment can make a huge difference as far as story opportunities are concerned. What happens¸ then¸ when a setting is so exotic as to completely change the laws of nature?
