Ya, people do tend to die. Personally, I really like Dubro and Walegrin.

You rang?

i was just hoping everything was fine-and-dandy


Dubro hasn't really been focused on too much in books 5-9, and it seems like Walegrin is just coming to the forefront of some of the stories in 9 (maybe there will be more in 10-12...)

You rang?

So, who are your favorite characters?

 

[Dragongirl]

Not really.

Hmm favorite characters . . .
1) Hanse Shadowspawn
2) Enos Yorl
3) Molin Torchholder
4) The Frost Daughter
5) Jubal

 

[Mr Fidgit]

3) Molin Torchholder, 5) Jubal

Torchholder?! he who killed the trinity?!

he's a rat bastard and you know it

jubal seems like a decent character...not too active though

 

[Dragongirl]

Torchholder?! he who killed the trinity?!

Blasphemy!! The dog yet lives!!!

 

[Crothian]

Jubal is more active in the early books. Torchholder did what he had to do (or so he felt). I was never a fan of hi8s until I read Sanctuary which really does him justice. When you finish reading 1-12, I'll lend it to you.

 

[Mr Fidgit]

Blasphemy!! The dog yet lives!!!

true, but i just finished 9, so i haven't read about Tyr's impending revenge

Get him, girl! Get him! Good dog.

 

[Crothian]

"The dog's name was Indiana!!"

Sorry, it just seemed to fit really well.

 

[Mr Fidgit]

i may have asked this before, so i'll apologize in advance (sorry! )

do you think using a VP/WP system would better reflect the lethality of Sanctuary and TW? (i've also seen people post about a grim and gritty system, but i've never read any rules on it)

i just know there are plenty of examples in the books where people were held at bay by a single crossbow, or dying from one solid hit from a weapon (even daggers)
