Re: thought the writers would be into this
According to the exam, if you answer "yes" to any of the questions, you should not write your book.
No fantasy book, anywhere, EVER, would have been written by following that guideline.

Well. I had fun breaking that down and pointing out how these rules could be broken.
I don't have to worry about revenge because Karma is a bigger bitch than I will ever have to be.

No, no, no. A bunch of rotund elves, walking around drunk, and their only goal is to sleep with so many women. "I'd hit that." So the 'game' devolves into madness as they acquire their 'hit points.'

Re: thought the writers would be into this
Only if it's wrong that I considered writing it.

Nah. It might be fun... although... I seem to think there's a movie based on something like that? I dunno.
