This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I would love a video game based on the Chronicles of the Black Company. Good dark fantasy has alive women, not everything is ruined, and people sometimes telling the truth. Because when everything is fucked there's nothing left to lose, so who would care?
Yeah, I loved this series. If someone could translate the slightly sardonic tone into a videogame that would be great. Currently reading Steven Erikson's Malazan series, which is absolutely amazing. If you liked Black Company, you might like this too. Different tone, but both basically follow soldiers dealing with fucked up stuff.
I got into Black Company based on a Lemmy user recommendation, so I think I'll have to look into Malazan for sure!
You're in for a treat, I wish I could read them for the first time again! The first book Gardens of the moon can be a bit disjointed, but stick with it, the series is great after that and just keeps getting better.
Something to tide me over while I wait for my library's copy of the new Black Company book. Cheers ^^
Didn't realise there was a new black company book out - wow, thank you!
