: It's true, I think it was mentioned in an interview with
: Jason Jones way back in the TFL days. They took a
: pizza box lid, drew a line down the middle, and put on
: one side of the line cliche'd, over-done ideas that
: they weren't going to use, and original new concepts
: that they liked.
: The example of cliched ideas not to be used was something
: like "young boys coming of age to discover they
: possess great powers, then going on to save the
: world". Mauriac is just lucky young warrior who
: became a hero. Alric is a mage - he was either born
: and raised one, or just decided to study magic and
: became one, so he's not coming of age into some sort
: of magical inheritance he never knew he had.

Oh, I see. I'll certainly buy that. Far cry from "we won't have any literary or mythological allusions except names," though. :-)
