In a message dated 1/13/00 7:17:31PM, you write:

<< You just have a troll fetish. No worries. And you forgot males to beat

I had forgotten about males, obviously they need beating into line, but they're expendable anyway.

<< But, truth be known, I think its a very interesting idea. Of
 course you'd need a lot of myths and details. however, my concern would  be that you'd end up with something fairly derivative if you are not  careful.

You are right, it might be derivative, but derivation is the sincerest form of flattery (I 'derived' that quote) and no one says that Tomb Raider 2 is derivative of Tomb Raider 1, for example (OK, perhaps they do, but I hope you get my point). The details and myths *would* be different, the best strategy *would* be different (none of this 'being generous' malarky) and if it were as successful at evoking an Uz Matriarch mindset as KoDP is at evoking an Orlanthi Chieftan then it would be pretty good.

Agreed, there are loads of details to be worked out, but I think there are (or were before KoDP) almost more published troll myths than Orlanthi ones.
