Reviewing the article on Science Fantasy again, and I think that it fits the bill perfectly.

Yes, alright. So? A person from the future might watch, say, Star Trek, and say "Wow, that technology is really primitive!". That doesn't make Star Trek any less Sci-Fi for it's time. In other words, what qualifies as science fiction and what qualifies as fantasy may change as time goes on. Who knows?

And yes, science fantasy sounds about what you might call Plot 3.

I've pegged the subgenre that the plots seem to be heading in.

The Hobbits are Newbies and the Shire is the Tutorial area. That's why everyone is surprised when they knock some self-procalimed 'Uber-leet" badass on his ass.

It's just RP heavy.

I'd say it's pretty impolite to call a woman a whore as well. You chauvinist pig.

Not from me... for blobvious reasons.

But if Sinister would do a comic of the link in the previous post with X2 taking the role of Andy Shaw (and Brain as the other guy?) that'd be swell.

Sure, I'll see what I can do.

You do mean a non-canon comic, right? Unless I'm missing something and Xartvye suddenly became a reporter.
