ZELAZNY
an amazing image for many reasons ...
among them, contextually, it is (subtly) pushing the envelope ... what is fantasy ...
something beyond the industry definition ...

<art, in it's highest, and lowest, and, therefore, most central form ... something that cannot be seen ... something that cannot be touched ...>

amazing image, just not too sure where it would go ...

Quote:
I'm a bit disappoined I missed the whole thing with PA - I love Roger Zelzany's works, and would love to debate some of those things with him, but I don't particularly want to draw his attention back to this thread, so I'll keep my peace
 


No question in my mind that Zelazny was an excellent author. It is not his writing that was in question, but the merits of a diceless "RPG" based on his books.

No need to worry about PA jumping in here, though. He is busily engaged in furthering his education, getting his Ph.D. Pity that, as I enjoy sparring with him. He is a good fellow.
