Who needs a comic?

Well, if you die from laughter when someone is making fun of Twilight, wouldn't Twilight be the cause of you death then?

Because without it, you would never have laughed at it.

 

...Sunnuva BITCH.

 

Fixed someone else's poorly drawn comic just for you!

Also, you seem to have inadvertently quoted yourself there instead of me. Should be more careful with that.

 

Yay!

Nah, it was supposed to be written exactly that way. Unless of course you're trying to divert the tranny suspicion to my humble self, in which case I thank you for the compliment, but sadly, no. Yet that's actually quite a perspective, so maybe one day.

Seriously though, pics?

 

Why would I want to lose the one thing that makes me unique here?

You know I completely forgot about that.

 

I couldn't agree more! (And yes, that is coming from someone who has been writing fantasy since they were eight.)

 

After seeing what the author did with Conan's continent, Hyboria (maybe spelled wrong, do not remember), I've taken to loosely basing all my fantasy settings off of the real world. It's actually worked pretty well. By mishmashing together different nationalities from ancient times, I can have one nation that sends Caballeros instead of Knights, an Empire that conquers smaller nations with Legionnaires, a desert nation which embalms their dead and hides them in the sand to protect them from bands of necromancers, a mysterious continent with foreign cultures and empires to the West, a Republic born from bloody revolution, buccanneering pirates, kingdoms of raiders who pillage their way through Human lands while simultaneously maintaining diplomatic ties with them, a Holy Order with major political influence, and a profitable, yet dangerous, spice trade all in the same setting.

Also, all the Asians are Elves. I thought it was a nice touch for my D&D games to have Elves warring with eachother and building vast empires and being samurais instead of hugging trees.

 

What about Lord of the Rings?

 

Lord of the Rings? Isn't that from the cantina scene in Jedi Knight: Outcast II?

Also, it's a probability chart. Probability implies that there are exceptions. Much of the things he made up are rooted in ancient mythologies anyways.

 

Yeah, a lot of his language was derived from Ancient Norse. For example, Gimli is the name of I think Odin's palace in Asgard. Or something like that, I'm fairly rusty on Norse mythology.

 

Tolkien is the father of modern fantasy and his stuff was well-researched and consistant. He's the exception that proves the rule.

 

Besides, making up random words <> creating your own language.

 

The Hobbit is pretty much word for word just the origin story of Sigurd except with a pussy midget instead of a huge warrior.
