Progenitors (inspiration and source material)

I prefer Tolkein and Lewis as well, as I said I need to be in the right mood. But both Lovecraft and Howard have their place when I am in the right mood. Another author similar in mood is Karl Edward Wagner, who I prefer to both Lovecraft and Howard, but if you don't care for LC and REH I doubt you would care for KEW either.

Nevertheless, I love your game's tone and its not too dark for me - at least yet.

Thanks. The tone of this gonzo game is pretty upbeat, despite Fiefo's every effort.

Thanks for the chance to escape...

Don't thank me. You made your Save vs Spells to avoid being mind controlled. It's like thanking the ref after you hit a 3 point shot.

The comments on Tolkien reminded me of a discussion in a different Inspiration and Source Material thread: viewtopic.php?f=793&t=10254

IT’S WORKING.

My ratings (thank you for asking ):

Tolkien - Genius
Lovecraft - Genius
Howard - fun, but too direct to really capture my fascination
Lewis - his best stuff is genius (with a small g), yet ultimately a bit silly (especially his sci-fi)

I’ve read everything from each of them except Howard. Maybe if I read more I’d like him more…
