I'm quite struck by the poetry in this, and fear my reply isn't adequate prose to do justice to the story. I really enjoyed it - a stand alone quest issue of sorts. Been a while since I read the 10th Caphan Saga. Will have to add it to the list. Quote: It would be delightful to write them too. And see them illustrated, of course.Agreed! Quote: He's one of the Librarian's forebears. Lee was from a long line of literary types. Books are figuratively in his blood.That was my suspicion (or vague recollection). Quote: Hey, there wasn't even a "nothing yet" card until yesterday. So... progress!We broke through Wilbur Parody's attempts to wipe it from existence. Yay us. Quote: There isn't that much written. I first mentioned them. AG mapped out a massive roster for them that was really only the current poster-characters converted to medieval names. I don't recall they really did much, although they may have had a brief play time during his Crisis in Infinite Parodyverses.So who were all the template characters for the ones used here? Some of them I could guess, others not so: Uncle Tricksy - Trickshot A young woman in odd, brief armour - Is it Troia215? Bint-Zilim - a thief...umm...? Sir Jayhan de Jaboz - hatman Another man clad in dark blue plate mail with herald’s tabs - messenger La Cobra - Cobra Quote: I mentioned them as the predecessor outfit to the Improbable College and then the League of Improbable Gentlemen, and I was imagining them as the Parodyverse version of the Knights Templar, a holy order guarding a mystic purpose who were eventually supressed for it and carried on secretly for a while. I never did a story with them.Quote: Meanwhile, in an alternate reality, the Knights Improbablar prospered and became the ruling class of their world, led by paladin-style knights drawing upon Serious Matter to supress chaos magic. Then, because of the Parody Master, this world began to crash into and merge with a different alternate reality where magic reigned and a magocracy prevailed. The sorcerers and sorceresses of one world did not get on with the witch-hunters of the other and there was war. Yes, this story I remembered, but not the connection (ie: they're an alternate version). Quote: The gateway to that storyline was probably UT#258: War and Peace, which focusses on Improbablar Chevalier Sir John de Jaboz and on Lileblanche de Cour, Second Princess of Salem, a sorceress.Quote: Quote: Some good one-liners in this too. Quote: Required to leaven info-dump.One of your strengths. Quote: Quote: And, the battle between the Destroyer and the Shaper at last! Was good to see Lisa expose all the flaws in Symmetry's plans and how things had been subltly set in motion to stop her - including one castle. Ding dong indeed. Quote: Never underestimate just how far Lisa will go to ruin things for people who annoy her.Clearly. Quote: Quote: So now we need a new Shaper. Hmm...could this be the ultimate aim of the Hood? He is very good at shaping things after all. Quote: He doesn't want it. It is too limited with too many rules. It is working for the Man.Well I guess he works to shape things his way anyway. So...who then? | |||||||
