I wonder if the Joss Whedon flag and military insignia for the Alliance (Union of Allied Planets) in Firefly/Serenity, and the Sino-American cultural and linguistic blending in the Core Planets, was the result of a Chinese invasion of the US long before humans used up Earth:

I'm not sure how far to take the Asian theme into my "SF Western" project, but I'm constantly encouraged by all the work I keep seeing done by 15mm Boxer Rebellion fans:

Dan,

I really like the idea of a mixed Eastern/(Wild) Western mash-up with spaceport & seaport elements, maybe in a desert/Mediterranean climate.

Like, California as a planet.

Can't find the book you're looking for? You're in the Wong Fook Hing Book Store!

Real life (or maybe just people with good Photoshop skills) outdoing fiction again…

While watching Alien 3 for the hundredth time, I stopped the film to look up a a map of the prison and came across the translation for one of the warnings painted in red on this concrete wall:

超高温危险

According to this page, the message means "super high temperature dangerous":
