[QUOTE="Macbeth, post: 1254806, member: 11259"] Okay, heres a great one if you wanted to run an adventure using a historical figure (in this case rasputin) in your game: "There was no sign of life, no pulse. Rasputin was dead. But when Felix shook the body, its left eyelid trembled and its face began to twitch. Rasputin lived! Felix was so terrified he could not move. But Rasputin, his eyes blazing, leapt, bellowing, to his feet and seized the Prince by the shoulder. He foamed at the mouth and repeating: 'Felix... Felix... Felix...' over and over again... Felix tore himself away... [and] ran out of the room shouting... that Rasputin was still alive. Rasputin, on all fours, crawled up the stairs after him, still repeating his name... Purishkevich [a conspirator] drawing his revolver, ran down the stairs... But Rasputin, instead of continuing up the stairs, burst through the side door into the courtyard." Christopher Dobson. [I]Prince Felix Yusupov: the man who murdered Rasputin.[/I] (I hope this counts. It is non-fiction, but told from point of view that almost makes it seem fictional.) [/QUOTE]
