Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dr. Prunesquallor" data-source="post: 3971008" data-attributes="member: 51176">For myself, no. "Golden Blah Blah" reaches toward an Exalted flavor that rubs me the wrong way. Might as well name it "Way of the Earnest Creditor," or "Irresistible Succubus Style." But, like Henry, I'm happy you're happy. 4e, for me, is another option. If, for you, it is THE OPTION, that's all good.I would say, as someone who's Narutard enough to read scanlations, lurves teh FF, and pretty much enjoys anime in general, don't deny yourself Howard or Leiber. Or Vance, or Eddison, or Anderson, or Merrit, or Bellairs, or Wagner for that matter. Go down to the local library the next time you have a two hour plus flight coming up and check out "Conan the ...." Whatever it's called, as long as it's Howard. You'll probably finish it before the flight is over.I'm not saying you'll learn about REAL FANTASY (TM). I just think you'll get a kick out of it. Howard reads light and quick. That said, pace Mourn, I think Howard is right up there with the anonymous authors of Beowulf and Gilgamesh. He's not just boobs, butts, and blood. The question posed by Howard is: "You're gonna die. And, like as not, no one will remember you when you're gone. So, what will you do with the time given to you?"And, to second WayneLigon's point: for every Borders or Barnes&Noble I've been in over the last 4 years in Tennessee, Texas, or California, there's been a full manga aisle for every DC/Marvel shelf (And for every D&D shelf). I don't think it necessarily translates to 4e, which I feel is trying to kill Exalted and take its stuff, but if 4e does grab manga fans, I would expect it to pull serious dough.</blockquote>
