: First, this is really hillarious, listening you argue
: both sides of the argument in EACH of four posts. But
: you make good points, both of, er... you.
Lol.. I think so too:P
: Anyway, my one point to add to this is that M3 more than
: likely will not go into huge amounts of detail on
: things that do not directly involve its story, so
: there will still be lots of information in GURPS which
: is not replaced by new information in M3. So you see
: the problem; if we discount GURPS entirely, there are
: suddenly huge holes in our understanding of the world
: outside late Wind, early and late Wolf, and early
: Sword ages.
While you're probably right about M3 not going into a whole bunch of detail into non-story related things, I hope you're wrong. If you are, that'll give us a LOT more information to work with, so we can clean up/prove some of the many theories that have been floated around the Asylum. As for GURPS, I'd have to say that unless there's something else that contradicts it (or will when M3 comes out), we should assume that any information in it is correct. However, compromising between GURPS and anti-GURPS, maybe we could just take GURPS information as a (theoretically) well-informed theory.
: So I think that unless MJ release something equivilant to
: GURPS, explaining the entire Mythworld in their
: updated, corrected detail, then we should consider the
: non-contradictory parts of GURPS as well. Though it
: occurs to me now, TFL went into some detail about
: Connacht because the main bad guy, Balor, was Connacht
: reincarnated. So since Moagim Reborn was Moagim of the
: Wind Age, and Tireces of the Age of Reason, there may
: very well be reason to elaborate on those ages in Myth
: III, as they have effect on the immediate story the
: same way Connacht effected TFL.
An official encyclopedia would be very useful..
