I am actually doing some research, mostly in regards to how ranks were named in the olden days and how things were organized. I'm shooting for a sort of Gaunt's Ghosts style of novel: come for the gritty ground combat, stay for the interactions between all these different characters from the lowest grunt to the overall commander.

Good lord, I'll be the next MaximumZero at this rate.

Well, not really, but you know what I mean.

So how worried should I be about historical accuracy in a novel featuring Romans in Space? Not aliens with a culture similar to the Romans, mind, but the actual Ancient Roman Empire in space.
I'm about 95% sure it has already been done. Not just the legion mentioned in passing in The Excalibur Alternative, either. That's the nice part about using historical entities in Alt-Hist/future settings: you can play with their cultural norms and artifacts all you want while handwaving the mistakes as intentional changes. You can call your beamswords gladii and nobody will bat an eye. :P
Really? Damn, I was afraid of that but I guess I shouldn't be overly-surprised. Oh well, its still the best idea I have at the moment :P
No beamswords, but similar uniforms for the soldiers and similar army organization. Probably the biggest difference will be that soldiers are enlisted and equipped by the government rather than doing the historical thing and providing their own.

Run away through the hard mode night? You'd be lucky to last five minutes unless you had some sort of mob-proof sky bridge.

Try an internet cafe?
Hell, just about any cafe nowadays will have free Internet service. So do several restaurants and fast food places.

Did someone just invoke me? I heard something about brothels.
No, you're the "Brothel on Wheels." I said Death Brothel.
Oops. My mistake.

Personally, I don't define "fun" as "things that can get me arrested and tried as an adult in a court of law."
This.
Then again I readily admit to being a stick in the mud.

I just had another good idea. One of the other staff users should borrow one of Edwin's ailment staffs and put it to good use. Poisoning/sleeping one enemy unit per turn is good. Poisoning one unit and sleeping another per turn is even better.

We don't want the high-DEF units to stick around for long either considering the magical firepower that is about to descend upon us. We should punch a hole through and concentrate on getting people out ASAP while protecting the squishies. I actually think one of the staff users should be one of the last ones to leave if they hold the Rescue staff, since if anyone gets paralyzed they can teleport the frozen unit into the escape zone.

After spending a few hours taking extra-good care of Bree, Grifen returned to the guest quarters and went straight to her room. She still felt terrible about missing the splinter and Tacey's words, while true, also stung.

HASPEN, SNIPER TIED UP Y/N?

He will undo the ropes turn after his sleep drops V:

He is crafty.
Boooooo :I
Can I at least break his bow so he can't use it?

I think Haspen is telling you to break his windpipe.

With your lance.

Which will kill him.
That would be very out-of-character.

Yep.

Has it occurred to anyone else that we might be wanted again after this fiasco?
Already brought it up ICly.
