[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9384540, member: 18"] Yeah they're not great but they're surprisingly acceptable. I read them at an age when I was starting to realize how bad most game-related fiction (very much including Dragonlance) was, and I remember thinking they definitely weren't as bad as a lot of this. Probably because Nigel Findley wrote them (or 2XS at least), and he was honestly an absolute gift to the TTRPG world in terms of writing talent in the short time he was with us. Absolutely. Imagine - and I know this will make you sad because we'll never see it - if someone with the talent of the Arcane writers/animators (and the writers aren't stellar, but they're clear cut above most writing for animated series) took on Battletech, the results could be insane. It'd likely easily be the best mecha show ever made, including anime etc. And I guess if we include video games there we go - Arcane is probably the single-best "game-related" work out there. It's so much ridiculously better than anything about League of Legends that it's an absolute joke. It's insane to think LoL lead to this. Of all the games! [/QUOTE]
