I'd have no problem at all of they called it The Myth Book, and that would be totally different. I have no interest whatsoever in gurps. I don't have any interest in fantasy RPG. I do not want to spend my money on a gurps game. I think gurps is boring. I dont play gurps, I dont like gurps, I dont want to be involved in gurps. Comprendé?
I DO have an interest in Myth. I would buy a book that Bungie published to further the Myth story. This is not that book - the primary goal of this book (which was not published by Bungie AFAIK) is to play a game that I don't like - it is based on the Myth series, but the guy who wrote it is more talented in writing fiction than playing Myth and digging up facts from the information in the story. I'll have to hand it to him for dreaming up Segoth though. I wonder where he pulled that from.
Anyway, I'm sure many of you are familiar with basic philosophy. If reality exists only in our minds, blah, blah, blah, then a story that can commonly unite minds together can be considered true. I don't know how many Myth players purchased gurps and made the connection with The Head and Segoth (not a damn lot I bet - most of their sales probably came from gurps players and not Myth players) but when Creation releases the Shadows / Whispers levelpack, I'm sure the thousands that download it and read in it that the head is Moagim will rival that number >;)~
