Ooh ooh wasn't their ship named something like Fiery Phoenix? Of course I'd like to see that one.

Yup that's the one. 'Gatchaman' aka 'Battle of the Planets' aka 'G-Force, Guardians of the Galaxy' aka 'Eagle Riders'. The original cartoon (Gatchaman) is way better than any of the English versions (and a lot for more violent than you would expect for a kid's cartoon from 1972). The various incarnations of the series get worse and worse as you go along (IMNSHO). I don't want to get too off topic on this thread but here is a humour site I've created dedicated to Gatchaman and its incarnations (some of the jokes should be obvious to non-fans and some are more for the fans of the series): http://paratime.ca/gatcha_funnies.html

I actually remember seeing that in my youth ... tho only briefly .... I grew up on Johnny Quest, Thundarr the Barbarian... Space Ghost... (Wonder Twin Powers --- ACTIVATE!!!).. the Justice League right on into He-Man, GI Joe, M.A.S.K., and Thundercats .... (Mumm-Ra rocked... “Ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra, the Ever-Living!”) ....
Oh... and Scooby of course... which I've become a collector of in the last decade or so... people just keep buying me scooby doo stuff...I never actually decided to collect it ... but someone somwhere decided for me.. lol
sorry for the the off topic...
Great map (man I say that a lot), I think you may be addicted tho... huh? .. admit it.. its a driving compulsion you really can't help... I know... I do it too... map map map
heh
Battle of the Planets is what got me hooked on anime and cartoons in general. It wasn't until after university I discovered Gatchaman and I was hooked ever since. BTW, Johnny Quest and Thundarr the Barbarian rule! same with Space Ghost, Galaxy Trio, Herculoids, Superfriends, Hong Kong Phooey and many more. I never got into He-Man, GI Joe, M.A.S.K. or Thundercats. I'm more of a 60s/70s cartoon fan than the 80s (there are a few exceptions like Bionic Six, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, Robotech, to name a few).
I'm a Scooby Doo fan (especially the classic series). My wife is a huge fan of Scooby Doo but we only buy the DVDs.
I don't mind talking about my fav cartoons.
LOL! I think it is more accurate to say I'm addicted to Photoshop. Maps, avatars, PDF covers, RPG Character Sheets, image manipulations... they are all just symptoms of my addiction.

I love my photoshop and my maps... but... PDF covers?? you mean.. just any ol' random PDF cover? ... I thought my interests delved a little into the 'quirky' but I can't say I've ever heard of having an itch for PDF covers...
Character sheets on the other hand.. I do understand... myself... I collect Dice rollers, excel sheets and ... random generation programs and websites... I dunno, I never use them for anything.. but I have these things tucked away in zip files all over the place... my favorite being Tablesmith ... Though I have somewhat of a Knack for coming up with good solid fantasy names... in a pinch the name generators come in handy ... and I love playing with the town generators as well... can ya tell I like random generators??
PDF covers as in when I make my own gaming PDFs, I make fancy covers for them. Here's is the cover for the upcoming PDF write-up of my current campaign:
I've used Tablesmith before, not not recently. I have it somewhere on one of my external hard drives. I use various web name generators that I have bookmarked for the most part. I sometimes use the various other randon generators that are on the Seventh Sanctum site.

OHHH.. that's right, I forgot yer in the publishing market as well... as well as graphic design and website creation.... and probably doing much better at it ... lol... <sigh>
Nice cover tho, looks legit to me ...
I like Seventh Sanctum, I used it last week for a couple of my players trying to come up with names for background contacts...
