I Have A Cause

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Been rereading the Tortall books after the new short story collection came out. I still think a Tortall adventure game would be excellent. Shit, can you imagine playing a game as Alanna, doing magic and fighting immortals and bandits and collecting mystical crysticals? I mean, it's like a perfect gaming world with an actually strong female protagonist,* just waiting to be coded. God damn, I would play that fucker till my thumbs fell off. Hell, I would buy and learn how to drive a Non!tendo console just to play it.**

I say we start a campaign. Anybody with me?


*As opposed to the kind of "strong female protagonist" that appears to be a babe with huge boobs and a sword/gun. For some reason game designers seem to prefer that one.

**I have never been good at consoles that aren’t Nintendo. Brand loyalty, I haz it.

I read the Alanna ones not all that long ago, and they're cute popcorn, but one suspects a video game with her in it would need a lot of the crying edited out if it included stuff from the last book.

(If it's just play-in-the-universe type of stuff, rather than follow-book-plot, then carry on.)

Hah! No, I was thinking play-in-the-universe, not so much those books specifically. I'd want to see a new adventure with her later--probably after the Immortals showed up. They'd be fun to beat up.
