    Default Req: 'A Few Aliens for One Season', or Even Just A Couple of Measly Episodes?

    The Monster for Every Season books are a hecking good idea and a great resource.
    Naturally, they have a strong fantasy bias. What I would like to request is a small
    number of modern/cyberpunk/sci-fi characters in the same art style. Has anyone
    done this already? It seems like such an obvious thing to try.

    The reason I ask is that if you have a few sci-fi pieces usable as 'bridges' then you can
    use the fantasy monsters as aliens, and the sword-toting dungeon-crawlin' types as
    primitive species on backwards planets. This means a significant chunk of the fantasy
    portfolio immediately becomes usable in a sci-fi setting as well. I don't think you need
    a lot of sci-fi pieces, you only need a few to set the tone and the style, then you can
    introduce many of the rest. You can already use a lot of the guys who are unarmed
    and a certainly a few of the guys with melee weapons, here and there. I feel this is a
    case where relatively few sci-fi types would greatly magnify the utility of an already
    very handy product.

    Can anyone point me to sci-fi stick figure assets compatible with AMFES already
    drawn? TIA!

    Well, Sort of (Servants of the Imperium). The comic features various weapons and opponents that you could conceivable use as a base for creating your own.

    Anyone else know of a stick-figure sci-fi comic?

    Ahh, thank you for the pointer.

    Actually, now I think of it there is some anachronistic material already present in the OOTS.
    There's those two lawyers, there's the city of Cliffport, there's the gnomes of Tinkertown,
    and there's even a small selection of superheroes. And the Iron Golems ('We are programmed
    only to rock') would provide a workable giant robot template.

    So there might be enough to do a few mashups...

    I wonder if anyone has done any OOTS stormtrooper fan art...?

    Plus the bit with the airship had kind of a steampunk aesthetic
