What where the literary / cinematic influences for CoT?

[William Bryan]

Has this been discussed before? If so, can you send me an appropriate link? If not, indulge me please.

Thanks :D

BUMP!

[Crimson Jester]

I think that this is a good spot to start

Fighting against a thieves guild was all but the several first stories.

[Greg A. Vaughan]

This is very true.

[Scipion del Ferro]

Umm... Equilibrium?

Band of people begin fighting against the oppressive government.

[James Jacobs]

The primary cinematic influences on Wes and I while we were plotting out Council of Thieves were:

The Omen
The Godfather
Dario Argento's Three Mothers trilogy (Susperia, Inferon, and Mother of Tears)
The China Syndrome

As far as literary... ANYTHING to do with thieves in RPGs more or less owes its existence to the work of Fritz Leiber.

Which always makes for a great read.

Good of Greg to come clean at last, an honest start to 2010, bravo.

Spoiler:

The Twilight Zone for the Asmodean Knot, plus Dave Sutherland's great Queen of the Demonweb Pits.

Huzzah!

Shall I not throttle him with my vibrant tresses, master?

[Greg A. Vaughan]

Yes, you may throttle him.
