Furiously Eclectic People

This volume is thicker than the previous two. It starts off right where the last ended.

Where the first volume is a fast moving fun house and the second volume a similar adventure as an excuse to get to the third volume. This third volume is about the truth behind the myths of Gor.

This time we had a Chicken pizza.

Our disingenuous party traversed the pathway to the City of Dis amid the forest of hot iron pillars that encroached ever closer and closer to the path until they suddenly found themselves within the crowded city.

Perhaps not as quickly as the first book in the series, I blew through the second volume. I guess I see how people lambaste the author with.... You know, I really don't. It takes a lot of reach to rip these two books apart. I keep waiting for the problems that supposedly drag this series through the mud. This is adventure.

This time we had a Canadian Bacon and Pineapple pizza, without the pineapple.

(a.k.a. The Endless Tunnel)

Last session we left the Party with a clue passed on by a rock with a Magic Mouth spell saying: "Those who would enter Dis must crawl!"

The party, following their clue proceeded on their hands and knees for about 100 yards and nothing.

This time we had a plain cheese pizza, with extra cheese.

The party was on the first level of Hell on the path to the City of Dis on the second level. Which meant they had to go to the only known stable gate to the next level. This gate just happens to be in the lair of the Queen of Dragons, Tiamat.

This time we had a medium Philly Cheese Steak Pizza with extra cheddar on top.

I cut the game short this time. Mainly due to a lack of players. (It must be the Summertime heat and humidity.) In any case the party travailed along their descent into Hell along the path guided by one of Dave's minions with only one major encounter. (Dave was an Ice Devil who sold them the guide for some gems.)

I'm not really sure what to say about this story.

The writing was good. It was a good deal darker than the previous ones and less redeeming.

It does bring up the issue of how much our memory affects who we are at our core and how little genetics really play a role.

In the end though, the thought that forgiveness is freedom rings true in my head and ultimately I think the story is about that singular truth.

I picked up this book to see what all the fuss was about (re: Gorean lifestyle) to be blithely surprised.

The Chronicles of Counter-Earth Volume 1 was one of the very few books I simply could not put down. Thus I read it very quickly, falling in love with John Norman's prose. It was not only easy to read but thankfully not dumbed down. In the least, it felt unique.

I find this book to be an excellent example of old-school fantasy in the vein of Jack Vance's The Dragonmasters. A little sci-fi mixed with fantasy which some call Sword & Planet.

Elefus, having purchased several expensive Magic Items from the BlackMoor Univeristy Student Store* was about to do a Word of Recall spell to send himself back when lo and behold, the Character Twitch makes his reappearance. If you recall, Twitch and Kmaregh made off with Honda's ship and the Party had to get a new one (it just so happened one was on order from the year before and it was delivered JIT).

We had a plain double cheese pizza.

When the party returned to the Temple of the Frog after they had left long ago, they found it under reconstruction by a resurgent Frog Cult. However they were not challenged at the dock. As a matter of fact the party was pretty much ignored.
