Yes, I am, and No, it would not be. Anyone who has gleaned anything Lunar from the Entekosiad, or seen any other Lunar material Greg has written in the last two years, knows that things are not what we thought. But not enough is there to get it even as close as RQ2 did. I'm glad they didn't try -- I don't have the faintest idea where to start, and I've seen a _lot_ of the Lunar stuff written so far.

I should have -- Bravo! to them for not trying to write up the cult which includes Rufelze the Red Goddess, Orogeria the Huntress, Rashorana/Nysalor, Gerra the Self-Mutilator and Abused Woman, Lesilla the Blue Moon Goddess (who is not equal to Annilla, BTW), Natha the Balancer and generally not nice person, and Sedenya the Once and Future Perfect Goddess. Hurrah for them!
