the thread refererenced here

refers to an interview where Mieville says that he played up the idea that a combat between golems and elementals represented a conflict between mans intrusion into the natural world (golemns) and the natural world striking back (elementals)

It strikes me that the use of the moster symbolism here is pretty interesting, and would be cool to grab for a game. Anyone have any other ideas or stories to relate about the use of monsters and conflicts that took on "symbolic" import in the game?

Hong had an interesting thread about this exact thing in his Brittania 3e game a week or two ago. I've never done anything quite as blatantly symbolic as he did there. I may try sometime soon, but I haven't so far.
