Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)

Beryl looks rather upset suddenly. I wonder what buttons our defender of the garden managed to push there. Nice job, Alex!

Looking forward to the next page, Arioch. :D

Re: Page 102

Re: Uncanny resemblance.

Know what else is uncanny? Everyone has been ripping off Tolkien for 50 years and getting away with it. And George Lucas (Star Wars) ripped off Tolkien, and Tolkien ripped off Beowulf, and Beowulf ripped off even older stories. All story tellers "recycle" ideas and concepts to one degree or another...

Re: page 82

Blisters, what a descriptive name for a missile that bursts open into smaller ordinance. Love it!

And after the long hiatus prior to page 79/80, I'm so happy to see Outsider updating again! :D
