Actually, there is a description - although I can't remember how complete it is - in Schockwellen... :grinbig: |

I think First Run has a drawing of him, though it isn't particularly well detailed. I think it is Miles Lanier, not Villiers, that has a fairly detailed drawing in SF.

Nope. It's Villiers watching his beloved Yankees getting their asses handed to them.

Is there any offical confirmation of that? I guess he does have a lot of empty shot glasses beside him for being Lanier in that scene, but I assumed it was just a littered bar scene and such. At first I thought it might be Villiers. But he just struck me as a lot more like Lanier pictured in First Run, and then there was a comment on DSF somewhere too that it was Lanier. But I forget who the author or the exact context of that comment was. |

As far as I could tell, if it was Lanier that would mean Villiers was passed out on the floor. :-)

Or sitting at the bar off-picture. I think in the narrative he sits down at the bar to talk to Richard, I'll pull out SF and check again. P.S. The idea of Villiers, baddest ass mundane in the world, passed out on the floor in a puddle of his own vomit is pretty funny. :) |

Ah, hadn't connected this detail before.
The picture is of a bare chinned man. So yup, that's Richard Villers (page 11 of System Failure for those folks who are just joining us). |

Second baddest-ass mundane. Damien Knight is still his better. Hell, his ex-wife is cooler (to me) than he is. |

Just surviving his ex-wife earns him the nod from me. :D But I concede the possibility of DK being #1. I think until we can get them into a room together for a kegger to see which one drops first it is inconclusive. :) |

hahaha. Spot on. I have a special place in my heart for badass women named Samantha.
But, yeah. That would be awesome. Break it down in keg-stands, chugging contests, and ... what the hell... a belching contest as the tie-breaker. I mean, come on. They have to have some class, and beer pong just won't do. |

Exactly my point. They leave it completely open. Like I said, I am capable of figuring this stuff out on my own, but I think it would be a better book if they at least gave some guidelines/advice on the subject. Dread Polack |

I'm not sure it's exactly what you're wishing for but the list of sidebars on the new preview includes "Magical Goods Form and Function" and "Spirit Appearance." I also believe the fiction in Street Magic will also have something to contribute. |
