: The catch is, GURPS Myth is exactly what you said: food
: for thought. Some of its facts (such as: humans are
: killed when they remove mandrake roots from the
: ground) are easily wrong. It was made to provide ideas
: for one's personal expansion of the Myth universe. Not
: necessarily for the official breakdown of Bungie's
: Myth.
I don't think the stuff about mandrake roots is necessarily wrong. In fact, it's not even as if Bungie made that up: /real/ mandrake roots are said to scream when their dug up, killing any human listener (actually, they don't, but they do have a disturbingly similar shape to that of a human child, which presumably led to the myth).
