Movie military is always incompetent, right? An entire battalion gets wiped out by the monster, but some plucky (teenagers/scientist/hero) can save the day. In a world where monster attacks become common, they just stop trying. It’s worse in video games. Every guard in Skyrim is like “Meh, the Dragonborn will deal with that.”

As is traditional, the main character is completely unqualified to solve the problem. Remember when Luke Skywalker was sitting around on the farm making “woosh” noises with his toy airplanes? Obviously he was the one who should fight the empire.

Fantasy stories work so much better in a pseudo-medieval setting. The anarchy of no central government allows for the characters to reasonably take matters into their own hands. In a more modern world, the dragon would be dealt with by the military, or the dark wizard prosecuted. That might make a fun D&D setting.

I think we’ll skip the next couple of issues, nothing particularly fun happens that the narrator didn’t just cover. Maybe I’ll just post them together and we’ll get on with it. Maybe I’ll learn to make these decisions in some kind of editing process that doesn’t take 10 years? Nah…

Posting every day this week, to thank all those people who suddenly followed me this weekend. If you didn’t read the archives to find out what you’re in for, I have no sympathy for you.
