There are a few good songs quoted in the tale, but Journey of the Sorcerer is such an evocative piece of music, even without the DA association.Diziet Sma wrote:<wanders off to put Journey of the Sorcerer on the stereo>

I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Re: Inside Straight
Finally got round to reading it.
Fantastic piece.
As I started reading I kept asking myself how you would follow coyote but this is superb.
I can already see the lines of plot flowing out of this to the next.
Awesome job and I look forward to the next.
!m!

Re: Inside Straight
Thanks for the kind words, guys - it is greatly appreciated.
However, there is only one planet that those plot lines are leading to! If anyone can name it, I'll be impressed - and award cookies.
<grins> I've been pondering that statement for a while, and there is very little - bordering on zero, in fact - chance of another tale.maaarcooose wrote:I can already see the lines of plot flowing out of this to the next.

That would have to be the mystical world of Avernus, and the legendary Avernus Orbital, wouldn't it?Cody wrote:However, there is only one planet that those plot lines are leading to! If anyone can name it, I'll be impressed - and award cookies.
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

There are only 2048 planets - one of them has a name which is/sounds fitting. <sniggers>

Re: Inside Straight
I've read this a while ago but have not commented on it. Excellent tale Cody. I've read it out in one run. I really like you're writing style. I could really see the story play out like a movie in my head. I could not stop!
Well done commander
