Reading Suggestions for Humanity = Hope for the Future
James_Nostack:
No confusion on this end. Reference to The Road was strictly as a literary illustration of Humanity = Hope for the Future. It's inappropriate for a relationship map because there are only two characters.
Regarding MacDonald, from the bibliography it was clear that he was very prolific, but it wasn't clear to me that, despite coming a generation or so after Hammett, he was such a seminal figure.
As for Archer himself, the point about excluding him from any R-Map couldn't be any clearer from The Sorcerer's Soul. I only mentioned his attitude to suggest that the character's general demeanor seems well suited to a compassionately brutal story like the one we'll probably get into.
Question - so the standard M.O. in Sorcerer's Soul is to select a detective story, identify the moral crime involved, and from this construct a Humanity definition. But if one's already got a Humanity definition--either one supplied by a mini-supplement, or from a prior storyline--how important is it to make sure the Humanity definition of the detective story, and established Humanity definition of the game, match up? (I would assume the answer is "quite important.")
