[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8067553, member: 11760"] The tone for most of the books is a lot closer to Return to Oz than it is the MGM movie. (The Hungry Tiger, an attempt to duplicate the success of the Cowardly Lion, is desperate to eat babies, although he feels too guilty to ever actually do so.) There are weird and sometimes dangerous creatures like the Wheelers around even long after Ozma has regained her throne. In a lot of ways, it's a pretty good archetypal fantasy roleplaying setting, in that there seems to always be trouble over the next hill and no one locally equipped to deal with it other than protagonists who may be ill-equipped to do so. And the protagonist groups are a very motley bunch and always seem to have [I]that player[/I] who wants to play a unique and wildly impractical character (I'm talking about you, Glass Cat). Still, most problems are solved without death, a few wicked witches and other nasties aside. [/QUOTE]
