The Heretic of Wyre - Part II

[Green Knight]

If anyone wants a complete Word .doc of the entire story sans commentary (starting with the first Lady Despina's Virtue thread), feel free to email me. It's about half a ream of paper printed out though

*raises his hand*

I want a copy. Now all I gotta do is get some ink for my printer.

Great updates, Sep.

You should seriously consider making the time to edit the document and submitting it to some SF/Fantasy publishers like Ace, Bantam, etc. Your story has the layered verisimilitude and realistically flawed characters of George R. R. Martin's _Game of Thrones_ series of novels, with enough extraplanar fun and politicking to rate a dash of Moorcock.

If you're interested at some point, email me, as I have a gaming industry friend who works for a SF publisher in NYC by day. I'd be happy to hook you up.

Beautiful, beautiful. I fell a little behind so I printed out most of The Heretics of Wyre portion (last 2 threads) and took it on a business trip. I came to the climactic battle right when we landed in some fairly heavy crosswinds. I barely noticed.

I'd love to have a copy. My new e-mail program isn't letting me send messages right now. I thought I had it figured out.

The following is Off Topic, I know.

I've been seeing a lot of references to "Vancian magic" and how Mostin's behavior is much like Vance's fantasy novels. I thought it might be nice to actually READ a few of his stories - and lo and behold, my local library has a positive TROVE of his materials.

The problem is, where do I begin? Of all the threads in this world, I have a feeling that those reading this one would know the answer the best.

(And now to keep this even slightly on topic) Sep, you (and your players) ROCK!

To read about the above stated vancian magic style I would recomend
"The Dying Earth
The Eyes of the Overworld
Cugel's Saga
Rhialto the Marvellous"
by Vance.

These are all bundeld in the book Tales of the dying earth.

And read about things like the " Omnipotent Sphere", "Exelent Prismatic Spray" and lots more.
Have a good read.

Thanks for the pointer Corwyn. I've been meaning to read some Vance, and that sounds like a good place to start

Now I've read "Tales of the Dying Earth"- where do I go from there?

 

[Fade]

Anywhere you want. The Lyonesse series is similar fantasy, also very fun. It runs 'Lyonesse I: Suldrun's Garden', 'Lyonesse II: The Green Pearl' and 'Lyonesse III: Madouc'. The one series I wouldn't recomend is 'The Demon Princes', a pretty simplistic revenge tale.

but where is the next chapter?
