A question for Jim regarding the Barabbus curse.  How many times can Nic mandate a death with the curse?  Are there any limitations on who can be targeted and how many times a person can be targeted?  Inquiring minds want to know, though mostly just I want to know.

Nah, after talking in the killing Nic thread I want to know that as well. Something else that I also want to know since I saw some people discussing the possibility some time back.

Can you use the NeverNever to travel to other planets (or does each planet have it's own NeverNever)?

I would assume that since the nevernever is an alternate universe (sort of), you could travel to other planets.

I have two questions

1.) What is a Chlorofiend? not the plant monster that Harry fights, but the thing that he remembers Bob talking about.

2.) What is the favorite type of pizza of the Fae? Pepperoni? Hawaiian? All meat? Vegetarian? Combination? Bean Curd?

Hi.  I've asked this question before and been pointed to various non-Jim posts, but I'd like to ask it here (and love it if Jim answered it):

Is the flavor text of the RPG Canon? I can see Jim disregarding the rule mechanics as he writes, but is the book filled with what Harry, Billy, and Bob believe the world to be (at the time of writing)?

Listen through these clips I know that in one of these clips he gets asked a question about the RPG canon and he answers that it is in character for the characters to say what they say.

Here is the best answer to that question by Jim yet.  He goes into detail.

RPG info @4:24  I haven't transcribed it because I ran out of room on the compilation topic.

My newest question for JB:

Storm Front says that the White Council only uses one sword to carry out executions.  Obviously this is Morgan's, so my question is, does Morgan's sword predate Luccio?

In "Grave Peril", at the party, Thomas said that Harry's godmother kiss him on the neck (and burned him). When I read it first, not knowing about Thomas-Harry relation, I found that very strange, out of the blue. Even the fact that Thomas knew that the Leanansidhe was Harry's godmother. But now I am thinking. Perhaps he made a pact with Lea to help Harry? (As Susan did).

I was looking over some of the WoJ's on the site and explained some of it to my mom when she asked about a couple of things.  Apologies if these have been asked all ready.

First, if Stoker and Lovecraft were "on to something", what about Mary Shelly?  Do Dr. Frankenstein's experiments exist in the DV and if so what happened to his Monster?

Second, who is Peter Pan?  NeverNever, Neverland, is there something going on here?

Jim, you mentioned that wizard "Listens-to-the-Wind was of the Illinois. That was a sizable confederacy
made up of a number of cognate tribes: Peoria, Kaskaskia, Michigamea, Cahokia, and Tamaroa, to name
the five most populous. Listens-to-the-Wind also spoke about the annihilation of his tribe because of his
refusal to intervene.

As one who has studied the Illiniwek in depth, I concluded that Listens-to-the-Wind spoke of one of three
battles: the devastation of Kaskaskia (Village) in 1680, the extermination of the Tamaroa sub-tribe shortly thereafter,
or the siege at Starved Rock.
Did LTW refer to one of these three historically recorded events or something lost through the ages?

This is the link to my Illini web site and the pertinent sub-unit: Scholarly citations are provided.

I think I recall WOJ to the effect that ghosts are merely psychic imprints or echoes.  If so, they don't think, are on auto-pilot and shouldn't be able to practice anything.

Not sure if I posted this here before, but I was really hoping to ask Jim this one had I met him at ComicCon.

It can easily take a frozen turkey over a minute to fall from an airplane flying at 30,000 feet, so was there a falling turkey already that the entropy curse diverted at the last minute, or does it actually somehow reach back in time to create the desired outcome at the right moment?
