This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Reflections and Shadows, a Roger Zelazny tribute anthology

A Roger Zelazny tribute anthology is up on indiegogo, run by Roger's son Trent and another editor.

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/282106?c=home&a=1798957

It will feature stories by authors who were friends with Roger, and if they hit a funding goal, an open call will go out for unknown writers.

These stories will all be set in the worlds Zelazny created and using his characters (with the exception of Amber, which RZ expressly did not want to share).

I am hoping it makes its funding, as I would certainly love to see more fiction set in Zelazny's worlds.

So I heartily encourage anyone interested in Zelazny's writing to help back the project.

If it becomes an open call, I'm definitely going to submit something. Not sure which character, though. Jack of Shadows? Dilvish the Damned? Phoenix from Mana From Heaven?

This sounds like a wonderful project, although clearly I'm bummed that Amber will be excluded. I understand the reasons, but am still disappointed.

My favorite non-Amber characters are Shadowjack and Dilvish. Hopefully we'll see a lot of those guys. :D

This does truly sound like a great project; though I for one I'm glad that unlike other actions done by the "zelazny estate", this book does intend to honor Zelazny's wishes.
