Titan (game)
Titan is a fantasy board game for two to six players, designed by Jason B. McAllister and David A. Trampier. It was first published in 1980 by Gorgonstar, a small company created by the designers. Soon afterward, the rights were licensed to Avalon Hill, which made several minor revisions and published the game for many years. Titan went out of print in 1998, when Avalon Hill was sold and ceased operations. A new edition of Titan, with artwork by Kurt Miller and Mike Doyle and produced by Canadian publisher Valley Games became available in late 2008. The Valley Games edition was adapted to the Apple iPad and released on December 21, 2011.
Each player controls an army of mythological creatures such as gargoyles, unicorns, and griffons, led by a single titan. The titan is analogous to the king in chess in that the death of a titan eliminates that player and his entire army from the game. The player controlling the last remaining titan wins the game.
Gameplay
The main game board consists of 96 interlocking hexes, each with a specified terrain type.
Titan (mythology)
In Classical Greek mythology, the Titans (Greek: Τῑτάν Tītán; plural: Τῑτᾶνες Tītânes) and Titanesses (or Titanides) (Greek: Τῑτᾱνίς Tītānís; plural: Τῑτᾱνίδες Tītānídes) were members of the second order of divine beings, descending from the primordial deities and preceding the Olympian deities. Based on Mount Othrys, the Titans most famously included the first twelve children of the primordial Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (Father Sky). They were giant deities of incredible strength, who ruled during the legendary Golden Age, and also composed the first pantheon of Greek deities.
Among the first generation of twelve Titans, the females were Mnemosyne, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea, and Themis and the males were Oceanus, Hyperion, Coeus, Cronus, Crius, and Iapetus.
The second generation of Titans consisted of Hyperion's children Helios, Selene, and Eos; Coeus' children Lelantos, Leto, and Asteria; Iapetus' sons Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius; Oceanus' daughter Metis; and Crius' sons Astraeus, Pallas, and Perses.
Titan (Bova novel)
Titan is a science fiction novel written by Ben Bova as part of the Grand Tour novel series. It directly follows the novel Saturn, in which the space habitat Goddard has finished its two-year journey from Earth, and has settled into the orbit of Saturn. The book won the 2007 John W. Campbell Memorial Award.
Plot
The ten thousand civilians of the space habitat Goddard have now finally begun their lives in the Saturn system, after an exhausting two-year journey that almost plunged the infant colony into an authoritative regime. As the probe "Titan Alpha" lands on the moon's surface, a number of strange electrical problems begin happening aboard the space habitat.

Melody Dean
by: Amanda PalmerI never met a lady quite as pretty as Melody Dean
And when I laid my head down on her heart
It beated out your name
And so I had to listen to her heartbeat
Several hundred times
And she was very nice about it
Held my hand and didn't mind
I never put my foot in the same river twice
I don't like getting wet
You take the good
You take the bad
You take it all
And that is all you get
The fact is you would rather I be lonely
In a bathtub with a book
The fact is you would rather I stop pining
On our pictures from New York
New York, New York, New York
But I get torn to pieces
For the Stupidest reasons
All I want's to love the one I'm with
Just like the song says
I don't like picking sides
I don't like sticking my Cherona in a box
I like to spread her out on different crackers, yeah
I like the way she looks
And when I go to bed at night
With Melody undressing in my head
To go to sleep
You know I would rather be undressing you instead
Instead, instead, instead
I never met a lady quite as pretty as Melody Dean
And even though I know you are
A little bit angry with me
You know that it is you I love
And you know I want to get me off
But you can only do that if you're here
And right now you're not
I never met a lady quite as pretty as Melody Dean
And even though I know you are
A little bit angry with me
You know that it is you I love
And you know I want to get me off
But you can only do that if you're here
And right now you're not
I never cross the Continental Divide
Without thinking about you
I am a tree that's carved with her name
She is a warrior tattoo
And the fact is you're selective
About what you can remember for a start
The fact is you're just as jealous as all get out
We can do it in the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark
But I get torn to pieces for the stupidest reasons
All I want's to love the one I'm with
Like Stephen Stills says
I never met a lady quite as pretty as Melody Dean
And even though I know you are
A little bit angry with me
You know that it is you I love
And you know I want to get me off
But you can only do that if you're here
And right now you're not
I never met a lady quite as pretty as Melody Dean
And even though I know you are
A little bit angry with me
You know that it is you I love
And you know I want to get me off
But you can only do that if you're here
And right now you're not
I never met a lady quite as pretty as Melody Dean
And even though I know you are
A little bit angry with me
You know that it is you I love
And you know I want to get me off
But you can only do that if you're here
And right now you're not
I never met a lady quite as pretty as Melody Dean
And even though I know you are
A little bit angry with me
You know that it is you I love
And you know I want to get me off
But you can only do that if you're here
