I'm probably in the minority, but I actually resubbed Dungeon because I missed reading Downer. Heh.
Sweet! Tell Erik. Actually, more importantly, tell Keith Strohm! How nice that that was post 100. On the topic of George R R Martin, I'm largely ignorant. But then again, I don't really care. I'm sure he's awesome. Clearly. He sells enough stuff. My point was that it represents a popular wing of fantasy that I am wholly disinterested in. To be honest, I don't read a lot of fiction; less fantasy even. I come from a background in comics and sci-fi. I may have said this in an earlier post, but I think D&D is at its best when it follows the spaghetti-western formula. There's very little high fantasy in the games I'm in. No fealty, and less honor and chivalry. It's all pirates, cowboys and ninijas who happen to carry longswords and bows.

A reading from the A Game of Thrones, by George R.R. Martin. . .

"Your silver is ours. Your horses are ours. Your axe and knife and hauberk are ours. You have nothing to give us but your lives. How would you like to die, Tyrion, son of Tywin?"
"In my own bed at the age of eighty, with a belly full of wine and a maiden's mouth around my ^%$#."
Not everyone does... but many of your critics seem to be the same sorts of people who were saying, waah, Grant Morrison is /hard/, I don't understand, I want the old Justice League back!
I like Grant Morrison. Kyle is unfortunately limited to two pages a month. If Kyle had 22 like an average comic book, then maybe...
In the interest of full disclosure, Kyle won my respect on this thread a while ago with a really great post after one of my own pointing out how I disliked his strip.
The funny thing is . . . its kinda starting to grow on me, especially the last few installments.
But . . Shhh . . . don't tell him I said that.
I'm not interested in the story. I'd be more interested in giving someone else a chance in the space.
