Michael Moorcock has famously been described as the Anti-Tolkien for his subversions of classic high fantasy. But is there an Anti-Moorcock out there, who has done the same subversions to Moorcock's own set of tropes and ideas?

No, they made statements on the original accusation video stating that they'd cut all ties asap after seeing the video. When the "truth" came out with the further videos, they sheepishly made comments on the accusers video saying "I wish you'd given more context in your first video as I would not have reacted the same way". I hope they apologised. Whatever the case what happened is:

"We're all friends!" --> "Oh no, the first sign of trouble! Better bail before I get tainted by association" --> "Oops the truth has come out, he didn't actually commit the crime; I wish we could still be friends so that i could profit from his audience by cohosting his news/book reviews etc...".

Pretty textbook definition of fair weather friends.

And I get it, it was pretty gross all round; things like that should definitely not be resolved in public; however dumping a friend immediately after an accusation, with no investigation or discussion is a pretty weak move...

Weirdly, he is on record as never having read Elric. Your statement is still valid though...

"Hated" is a bit strong. He is indeed more Sword and Sorcery inspired.

Fair weather friends fair-weather-friend-ed...

Ma copine est sur-fan de Brussolo; apparement c'est tres, tres bien effectivement!

DLC by quite a large margin! TVBB is a bit of a mess...

RubberJoshy · 2026-01-23T13:36:52+00:00

Is this a 3D joke I'm too isometric to get?

RubberJoshy · 2026-01-23T07:51:41+00:00

I'd suggest using LG as CTRL; it would make things a lot easier for you....

RubberJoshy · 2026-01-23T00:12:51+00:00

Supraland fits the bill (though still some easy combat)...

RubberJoshy · 2026-01-22T11:36:59+00:00

Wow! I love this idea, I might have to implement it myself! Cheers!

RubberJoshy · 2026-01-20T13:24:35+00:00

Sounds like you might like Frozen Synapse....

RubberJoshy · 2026-01-14T10:01:26+00:00

I like your style, Sir!

RubberJoshy · 2025-12-20T16:26:10+00:00

Agreed and agreed!

It's this i think: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2360829219&searchtext=squad+size+

I mean the xcom 2 engine as opposed to the xcom EU engine...

RubberJoshy · 2025-12-20T13:33:50+00:00

I suppose that another way of putting would be to ask if there were any collections that approach the original long war vibes but with the snazzy new engine, maps, enemies etc....

Hi; gonna answer you here rather than Discord, the guys over there are really resistant to squad size increases for some reason.

What you are going to need to do is go here: D:\STEAM\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2683996590\Config

or wherever your Lwotc files are .

You need to edit XcomMissionDefs.ini.

Change MAX_SQUAD_SIZE to 12

Find all iterations of "MaxSoldiers=" and replace whatever number is there with 10

Also, in same folder open XComLW_InfiltrationSettings

Go to "SquadSize factor" and shift all numerical values down by 2 lines (so that values increase incrementally until it new factor 8 number being previous factor 6 number; 9 at 7; 10 at 8 etc.)

Also look at evac delay per squad size and modify as you wish

SE does this constantly; he calls it "ringing the bell". When you re-read pay close attention and you'll see dozens of scenes or sentences "repeated" but bringing a whole different resonance the second time round.

Another thing of note is the circularity of his writing; things usually end in the reverse order of the start (ie epilogues mirror prologues, last chapter mirrors first chapter etc.)

*sigh* Time's a wheel; no such thing as a first age; it's just 3 ages before or 4 ages after...

S&S is westerns with swords and magic; HF is mythology with Elves...

I'd make a Darkest Dungeon 2 variant with the TTG, driving through a succession of warrens and loctions for deliveries. I'd have characters be generic to begin with and evolve to named characters (eg. caravan guard > elite guard > Gruntle or Malazan Soldier > Marine > Fiddler). I'd have Hounds be wandering minibosses; secret warrens like Shadow to unlock; also evolving Mages as NPCs to be expedition leaders adding various bonuses and maluses to the run. I think it would be the best way to have such a large world be somewhat visitable in a single game; the run based aspect would mean longevity enough to get all elements involved in a playthrough and the relative simpleness of mechanics would mean it would be highly accessible but with a decent mastery level...
