Like I said in an earlier post, Bess doesn’t seem at all interested, and in fact seems pretty intimate with her pantheon, so as things stand now, not seeing that (though I’m disappointed in no cat-girl hanky panky).
[/quote]Ooohh… I don’t know. Bess sounds like she’s very open minded and up for some adventure.

Lilith…oooh, noooo, Bad Idea. There’s crazy, there’s “Misery Crazy”, and then there’s Lilith. We’ve seen some glimpses of something besides The Crazy in Bk 3, but it’d still be a Bad Idea.

definitely brought the Bro Code with them. And the sex would be great until they actually DO kill you. Then what? No climax, just… regeneration or Final Death[/quote]C’est la démon vie.
[quote=Tizzy;6696]The problem with a truly challenging lover, is that the female person most wanting to kill him (Net is a guy, and straight) is his sister, Dysnoma.
Not sure how much Tom will go for that; although, it would be very Targaryen.

Tizzy, no wonder you’re called the Einstein of the Abyss!
Yes, when in doubt, stick to Tradition!I don’t know much about Dysnoma, sounds rather frigid. But! if she’s anywhere like Lilith or Bess, Tom and Dysnoma would make an incredible Couple, one made by the gods! Literally and specifically made possible by Zeus and Hera.
Hmmm… seems like it was encouraged on his Uncle’s side, the Nyjyr Ennead too. Lots of mother-aunt-sister-cousin-second-cousin-niece-wife kind of relationships back in Ancient Egypt. Pretty sure they sanctioned that… it would be rather rude for the gods to not practice what they preach after all.[quote=Tizzy;6636]It will probably be mid year, there will be a beta first. I think T-A-G is hoping to start that by May, if not sooner. He keeps getting distracted by too many projects, some of them not related to the books (staring at the Internet, jaw agape as a certain archdemon creates havoc on Earth).
He’s currently writing book iv, CoA:ITW, and OOA:
and Who in the Abyss is that? (the free character guide/background ebook) [/quote]

Dear Tizzy, may I suggest opening an Abyssal gate and holding TAG’s feet in the Abyss every time he starts to gape?
o:)
When is CoA going to be released? Any estimated dates?
Are there going to be Cameos from our main storyline characters?
I think that potentially shoving You-Know-Who and his god’s head back up their collective righteous arse is a different matter than writing a serious metaphysical book!
It’s pretty obvious who the Demiurge is, are we going to see him and his avatars like JC and He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named appear?
It’d be a pretty bold move by TAG.
[quote=Tizzy;6692]Yeah, well, not sure Lilith is a good idea, remember, Antefalken, “Tom’s Bro” was dating her. And you know the Bro Code.
One of these days, Tom is going to have to sit Rupert down and tell the story of “How I met your mother.”
Now of course, being a djinn, Tamarin’s plan (as it is with most young djinn) is to experience all material sensations, and do so with her master. However, he has been, to date, otherwise occupied.
On the other hand, Vaselle is Tom’s Warlock (familiar and Tom can possess him). I’m thinking maybe T-A-G can do a “Demons After Dark” or maybe “50 Shades of Red” and get really kinky in the spin off series.
Of course, I still want to see the spinoff where we get over the distraction of “Unlife” and get to the real “EVIL” —SparklyLife! I want to see the Force of Doom engaged in all out Unholy War to eradicate all the SparklyLife, you know–sparkly vampires, fluffy werewolves and such. [cursing]
[angry] They are an abomination before me! [blush] Ooops…getting a bit carried away…[/quote]
Since when did Brooding Dark Lords have bro codes?
I’m sure Antefalken won’t mind since being on her “Exterminate List” is rather a bit dangerous for a Bard. And Tom can always ask nicely.What Tom needs is a challenge. The harder your partner’s trying to kill you, the better the sex!
[quote=George;6859]This is a character of Chinese myth, it’ll be interesting if the Chinese gods such as Mother Nuwa or Shenggong played a role in the later books or is at least mentioned.[/quote]
To be honest, the ultimate and most ancient god of the historical chinese is neither the Buddha, Nuwa, Shenggong, or the other thousands of Deities and Sages who are late arrivals to Chinese lore and civilization.
Most haven’t heard of Shangdi since the fall of chinese civilization, but the ultimate god was Di or Shangdi overlapping with the Taoist, Yudi (Jade Emperor) who has been engraved in the Oracle Bones since the Shang period. The Emperor/King’s duty was being the Son of Heaven, commit the Heavenly rites allowing the Son to communicate with this supreme being and reassuring that all is well and prosperous within the Middle Realm.
The tradition of Shangdi/Heaven was followed until a century ago when western religions and our political ideals was exported and propagated by certain elements (May Movement, Sun Yat-Sen and Mao Tze-Tung) which swept away the last of traditional China by both Spiritual, Political and Physical means.
Today, Shangdi is mostly forgotten and remembered only really by some elderly chinese or avid historical Sinologists/philes (or Ex ones anyway). The name now mostly refers to the Abrahamic god (mostly Christian) instead. This ancient god has been completely replaced.
edited: Replaced all “hims” with the actual name of the god itself. The early gender for Shangdi was never defined. For much of its history, the god has never been defined explicitly to actually have a Physical manifestation until the advent of Neo-Taoism in china. Only later was the god represented artistically by among others, Neo-Taoists, to be a male ruler. Academically, I am of an opinion that it was simply a “conscious force” concept rather than an actual Humanoid being. In this respect, and despite the vast difference in culture, it shared some similarities with the early Tengri (worshipped by Mongolic/Turkic/etc… peoples), and who incidentally was also ultimately replaced by the Abrahamic god.
They’re one of the more interesting races, and there is a serious dearth of books about Dwarves. Simply not enough books are centered on them. Unacceptable.
T-A-G should have a role centered on them and Ptah as well as the other Dwarven deities. To see how they play a role in the Multiverse and influenced its history rather than being a side-race.As far as I can tell, they have a more nuanced relationship with the world.
