Hello. Here in the Netherlands, I have discovered something very odd. Baron von Barron has another name--and what's more, he has some kind of connection to my beloved Femme Fatale. He's called "Alex Gluipstra." She's "Alexis Gluipstra." Now, I'm (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Well, I'm going to answer here, because others might like to know the answer too! The short answer is yes and no. Yeah, not helpful, but it's true. The shoulder-thingies (called epaulettes or "shoulderboards") were never used by flight crews. (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) He's sort of like "Rudolph, the Trans-neon-orange Scorpion." I think you should consider the marketing potential of this, seeing as how Christmas is coming up and all. At the very least, perhaps someone can make a short stop-motion feature. We (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) You should take his (...) is (...) you (...) Of course, we're ignoring the fact that Lego Scorpions are at least a few feet long. (Comparing to Minifigs) So ten should easily pull a chariot-type vehicle. Of couse, the hover-chariot would be (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

I bought it, along with nine other small sets, on Crete (I was there, and I had some cash left over, and figured the best way to get rid of them was to spend them on LEGO ^-^).

(...) Where did you buy that set? I've never seen it before. You should take his comment as an inspiration to design a scorpion-towed vehicle. The scorpion is very much neglected by animal-towed vehicle builders. But how many would you need? (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Would a general/pilot in WW1 or around the times the Adventurers setting have shoulder pad-thingys on them, like Capitan Redbeard in the Pirates? I have created so far a German general/pilot, but I'm not sure if a pilot of WW1 would have those (...) (24 years ago, 21-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) It's an oasis because there is a tree growing in the middle of the desert, so there is water (inferred) and it is an ambush because you are lured there by a nice palm tree and what appears to be treasure, but it really contains a scarry mummy (...)
