I can't speak for other authors here, though I can point to many of my own inspirations from the genre who handled physical action quite well, thank you. Read any Elric, lately? Conan?I don't know the first thing about Dark*Matter, but it has never hindered my enjoyment of jonrog's story hour. Not once during a read have I ever thought, "This is a game."I don't believe I ever used the word "novel." On this we agree: I am not suggesting the publication of "novels." I'm talking about publishing some entertaining stories. Damn fine stories.Folks used to be satisfied with that, once. REH wasn't writing novels. Lovecraft wasn't writing novels. I'll take REH over Jordan any day, thanks.These Story Hours are not examples of the novel art form, nor do they strive to be, as far as I can tell; neither does that diminish them in any way.This is a new genre and a completely different art form (the writing is not collaborative though the genesis is).I don't think it's necessary to be a gamer to enjoy these tales.I think "Tales from the Gaming Table" is an excellent descriptor.Wulf</blockquote>
