Re:Added: Galen
[quote=”grumbler”]Nice charactor reviews, but I feel you have missed Galen’s essential charactor with your “if you met him in a pub” description. IMO, it should read,
“If you were to see Galen in a pub, he would be the one sitting in a corner, people-watching. If you asked him how he was doing, he would reply “suprisingly well, considering the circumstances” and then go on “and you are remarkably cheerful, considering what is about to happen to [b]you[/b]!”[/quote]
Nice one! I can add it to the review if you’d like.
I normally use the pub paragraph to sneak in some good and/or cheap jokes about the character. Occasionally I use it to offer insights. But in Galen’s case, I was purposefully going for something demeaning, without being too evil. [i] you should have seen some of my rough drafts… those would have gotten some hate mail[/i]

I haven’t, but it is on my “summer reading list”. I wanted to read through it before I attempted a culture review of the Technomages.

Thanks for your efforts.[/quote]
Thank-you, it was my pleasure. Writing up these reviews can be a lot of fun. And I most certainly enjoy feedback, of any kind.
