[QUOTE="jensun, post: 3247454, member: 6504"] Well, I finished reading the last section of this story hour yesterday so I just had to start the thing from the beginning to find out where the whole business started. I have to give you props for some very good writing. I was particualrly impressed that you turned what could easily have been a rather long and dull journey into the Little Kingdoms into an interesting series of adventures. Also, lots of different plot arcs and twists and small personal side quests and issues really add to the mix. It has been a very enjoyable read and I am still not finished (about to start part 2 of the second section). Having said that a couple of things have niggled me throughout. 1. Use of the egyptian pantheon? Was there any particular reason you chose to go with them. The setting doesnt seem to have much of an egyptian cultural theme to it and personally I found the use of the names a bit jarring and tended to break the mood somewhat. 2. Is there any particular reason you decided to hit arcane casters so hard with the nerf bat and yet leave clerics mostly alone? 3. You have mentioned a few times that Aquerra is low magic and yet it still seems to have lots of arcane casters around. I can definately see it as low magic item, but certainly not low magic. [/QUOTE]
