Personally I think it adds to the surreal atmosphere especially with House of Hell. These endless, strangely labelled rooms, many with secret passages etc. Though certainly Ian's dungeons seem a lot more logically designed. I was playing Captives of Kaag the other day and it struck me that the fortress must be roughly the size of New York. So, that's you posting on the Project Aon forum? Nice. I've been a life-long lurker over there. You can get the man out of Magnamund but you can't get Magnamund out of the man! Wait... I don't know, it doesn't feel right.

If that's the only thing you find weird about vagsancho consider yourself lucky. I think it's time to bring the cane out.... *dusts it off*
He's an all right fella, he just has issues.

Yep. Seems a bit dead unfortunately.

Yes, it's always dead slow. They should migrate over here, somehow. ...because you know I'd like vagsancho's opinion on each and every Lone Wolf books that he "feel". Meh.

I imagine he'd be a huge fan of the Chaos Master...

I wonder which of the Darklords he'd go for, which looks more like Razaak? Gnaag perhaps. Or I imagine he'd go for someone like Ixiataaga for being so uber powerful. But then again perhaps they don't have the "right" charisma, or something.

He'd just insist that the LW series was a bunch of FFs that somehow gained their independence, and refuse to read them.

What an encounter!I still remember everything about that day. The day when i met Nicodemus. The rain. The smell of that river. And his tired eyes. My hot heart became ice that day.

i'll be taking a trip to Hong Kong with a ferry ride over to Macau in November this year and i just found out that there's a place there we'll be visiting called Hac Sa Beach. translated, Hac Sa means Black Sand. pretty cool! i doubt it'll be as boisterous as the city of thieves but i thought i'd share that useless piece of information with everyone.

Avoid black cats. Just in case.

Also, find out what 'Key Street' would be in the local language, and steer clear of anywhere with that name.

I remember every detail of this city, every detail with an immense reality, a greater reality than a school day, a working day, a day of life, everything, that madman with an eye on the horizon, those two eggs, the witch I found in the sewage, the lotus flower, the arrest of Blacksand, the pirates, and that bridge, that bridge... In reality, Blacksand is so much real than London, Paris, Prague, New York or other cities of this world. So much real.

It certainly seems more real than some people I could mention.

Maybe this is going to have a Sixth Sense twist at the end.

Sourbelly and Fat Nose. Awesome moment. I remember seeing them. approaching me.. How is it possible? I felt and i clearly saw in each a far superior level of intelligence than in me. How is it possible! two land donkeys so truly much smarter than me! how is it possible? I do not understand this world.

You've a touch of the poet inside you, perhaps you should take up the quill?
