Hi: His website is down and I wonder if he moved somewhere else?

This is where I find him these days. His stuff is more awesome than ever. http://www.planetvixens.com/ :b_grin:

Thanks, I typed his URL wrong. Nothing for V4 though.

He hasn't come out with a new product in months, yet used to be one of the most prolific poser creators around.  Kind of sad, his stuff was well done and very versatile...

It really was and it was inexpensive. His V3 armor was wonderfully detailed and some of the better fantasy outfits around. Wonder what happened to him?

sebastel:

In the novel, and in the remake movie, Alia kills the Baron Harkonnen with her "gom jabbar," a poison needle worn like a thimble on a finger. In the first movie, Alia sticks him with a "gom jabbar", pulls some of the controls for his suspensor units out, and he floats through a breach in the palace wall to be eaten by a giant sand worm (a Freman symbol of cleansing).

The Baron was the illegitamate father of the Bene Gesserit Jessica, Alia's mother. The Bene Gesserit Reverend Mothers possess racial memories of all of their female ancesters up to the moment of conception of the next ancester. They possess no male memories, but the Paul and his children and Alia possess all of their ancestors memories(male and female). The Baron returns from Alia's other memories, and learns of his fate from Alia's memories. He possess her and drives her mad. She committs suicide by jumping out a window. Thus, Baron Harkonnen dies twice.

Gom Jabbar = "High Handed Enemy"

Yup, I'm a Dunehead, too.

BTW, if you haven't read "Legends of Dune - The Butlerian Jihad", do yourself a big, big favour and don't bother.  It's dreadful.  I liked the House Atriedes/House Harkonnen/House Corrino trilogy but the Jihad one is really taking the piss.

I got halfway through that and could not continue. You are right, it was one of the most poorly written novels I have ever (partially) read. I feel deeply sorry for every one who wasted their money on the book.

So THAT'S whay happened to him, LOL!

I think he introduced some new things even after V4's arrival giving me the impression he's still working on things. I'm just guessing but he might have held off support for the V4 to wait an see. V4 has been in flux for a while. V4.0, V4.1, V4.2...

I especially like the fantasy warrioress stuff. I am still going to use V3. I have some great stuff for her. We don't have to use V4 all the time.

LMK - you're right. now that you tell, my memory improves, too. well, it's a couple of years ago that i read it.

btw, i finally found only the first one ("dune") really good ...
