A slight correction, the game players...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />A slight correction, the game players we see in "The Saturn GAme," as they became too dangerously immersed in their roles, do sometimes give us descriptions of their hard science, this worldly surroundings in fantasy terms.<br /><br />I'm not sure if serious members of the Society for Creative Anachronism can fairly be called "gamers." People who make a serious study of Medieval arts, crafts, and trades are more than simple role players. And MUCH of what the SCA studied or revived would be invaluable, in practical terms, if high technology ever stopped WORKING, as it did with the Change.<br /><br />As for Stirling's Emberverse, I don't want to say too much, as yet, about Who or what lay behind the disaster of the Change. But it was not anything friendly to mankind!<br /><br />SeanSean M. Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973738112230622557noreply@blogger.com
