(Quote) Romance was not the word I would use either...

I was totally sucked in, lived the story, and finished with over half the month left. I read another couple books in the meantime, and had to refresh my memory from my notes

(Quote) I was considering having the players play the bonobos, actually. My players would love it! But then I have those players....

The ending shocked me. I had stopped for the day before half a page from the last sentence because I had no idea it was about to end. I was like "Whaaaat?". No wrap up, no resolution, no preparation, just stoppage. I occasionally write son…

(Quote) Hmmm - I thought it was why she was so remote and observant, as she could not share in normal lives, at least she could watch them, and this led directly to her science.

(Quote) I was referring to her actions after the hysterectomy, when she was free from the pain.

(Quote) Hurricanes?

(Quote) The Theory of Bastards was what was motivating Frankie as she began to get involved with the Bonobos, as they didn't seem to follow the Theory.

Research Institutes and Wildlife Sanctuaries, and the institute is both, primarily run on the income from endowments and a lot of corporate funding, with visitors bringing welcome cash - not just tickets but snacks and souvenirs - and the occasional…

That last is very true!

Damn! I meant to ask what people felt about this! It's in my notes, and I just missed it!

Yeah - I kept seeing the romance foreshadowed and hoping I was wrong... but I wasn't

As to the people visiting, most had children with them, who did not have Bindis. which makes sense.

I read the classic Sir Richard Burton translation of the Arabian Nights, and loved it! A different, more recent translation might be cool!

I have the Brendan Voyage and would be fine with any Tim Severin book... Added: Oh! I would be fine with RPG guidebooks too!
-
I'm cool with non-fiction! Or Arabian Nights. Or Ninefox Gambit.

(Quote) No worries! :D

Long ago, a friend gave me a copy of A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which I started reading - this friend was a good judge of books, but I hated it. I thought it was the worst, most senseless drivel ever written, and I threw it against the wall…

I don't know Neil! My experiences were radically different. I zipped through the book - I even took breaks and read other books to slow myself down, as I wanted it fresh in my mind for discussion. It didn't seem long at all. Now I agree with you in …

I'd read it!

(Quote) There ya go! :p

(Quote) I actually just did that, with a prelude campaign set in our world in 2023, to set up the eventual magitech SF campaign, set in 2123.

That's what I was talking about as well, Richard!
-
Oh, I wasn't meaning Raine so much as the others. Raine felt older because of more and harsher experiences, especially because she was emotionally flattened.
-
(Quote) Agreed, 100% - I also was reminded of the Hardy series.
-
(Quote) Exactly my take as well!
-
Not the setting. The faux Scotland thing worked OK, but I hated the Lac clan names. That was actually the only thing that bothered me. I liked the magic, with it's trances and gates, and I liked the older Redwinter characters as well. But I really l…

Well, it showed in as much as there was a sense that magic made sense, rare in fantasy games, but often botched about. It didn't read like a game narration to me, though. Games are most of the time incoherent unless you were there.

Everything in this book worked for me. I haven't even liked a fantasy book since the Lies of Locke Lamorra, but this one was a joy!
