[QUOTE="Azlan, post: 628050, member: 2340"] Wow, Ysgarran - what a timely and intriguing post! I wonder how indicative are the following quotes: "Now, borrowing a page from a literary upstart named Harry Potter, the Lewis estate and its publishers have started shaping a marketing makeover of Aslan and assorted Narnian habitués to expand readership and extend the brand... They have developed a discreet strategy to avoid direct links to the Christian imagery and theology that suffused the Narnia novels and inspired Lewis." While I'm sure they're not going to go so far as to edit out the Christian allegory/symbolism from the original Narnia stories, as written by C.S. Lewis, I am sure they're going to forbid even a hint of Christian allegory or symbolism in the forthcoming Narnia stories, to be written by authors in HarperCollins' stable. :mad: But, yeah: With this new marketing strategy by HarperCollins and the Lewis estate, a d20 roleplaying game based on Narnia *is* now a possibility.
