Given that CoA:ITW is happening simultaneously with the next book, and the hints that we have had in book 3, I've got this image of the future heir to the holy empire finding Tizzy's D-Pot farm (or one of them, seeing as how reputedly he is the biggest dealer in a series of universes) in Astlan in the Wilds of Eton and mischief ensues. Makes me sort of glad that Astlan isn't a high tech world because Tizzy in flannels, suspenders and a shotgun might be a truly terrifying thing to behold.

Then of course, being a supposed great (number of greats kept down to 1 for simplicity) grandchild of the five, I'd imagine lots of other mischief involving Hilda, seeing as how she is chief investigator for them.

Hilda leading a DEA style raid on Tizzy's farm sounds hilarious, especially if archons get hit with DW-Smoke, even better if Tizzy has all the ingredients for a D'Orcing ceremony grown there...
Hallucinating saints and archons...

The reports in the upper planes would be a wonderful mess.

Then comes the question of where and when the five figure out what Ra and co are up to...

Ah the fun of it all.

No confirmation on the Angelic Drug Raid ending in hilarious hallucinogen inspired hijinks? Shucks.

As for your 'Glory', remember that sometimes less is more.
Now that I think about it, that might be a Gallifreyan mantra that somehow slipped in there.

As for a certain someone being tormented, that betting pool must be getting quite juicy on how and when he snaps. It seems Gastrope is out of the running for that, even though he is a warlock without wanting to be one.

Oh well, the Church of the Five in general does need some massive restructuring. Having influential people that have had their eyes opened violently can only be a good thing as far as causing havoc.

Sentir Fallon does have a bit of a problem with having drawn the unwanted (by him) attention of all of Upper management...

Beregamos is probably going to wish that he had retired a few decades earlier and was sitting on a tropical island, reincarnated and learning how to snorkel. Having underlings yell at you because their illusions are shattered and they feel betrayed can be quite irritating, I'm sure.

Still no word on whether Hephaestus is going to build the 'Arcadia' or some other such ship using entirely magical means so orcs in Astlan can fly around in style? I suppose it wouldn't be as much fun as flying on D'Wargs and Wyverns, but having the option...?

Speaking of DOA:ITW though, I can saddly enough easily imagine Tom starting up an educational program that involves a certain heir and teaches him about the grand scale of things. Lots of fun.

It seems to me we are already playing D&D (Demons & Deities)!

Ooh, maybe that should be the title for Book V or VI?

I am not sure a "Story Teller" style game would be good for a stoned Hilda, I imagine her stories are pretty long winded

On the other hand, I am sure everyone would love me to GameMaster it! Of course, in my version, all the vampire clans would have to band together to save themselves from the Armies of Doom!

Actually, that's a good point about immortals!

But realistically, isn't this what Deities and their Avatars do to pass the time anyway? I don't mean sit around a table with paper, pen and dice.

I mean sit around viewing orbs/cauldrons/viewing wells and play with living chess pieces in Midgard? Tossing out random prophecies, throwing monsters, armies and treachery at mortals to see how they react?

It's extreme LARLPing (Live Action Real Life Playing)

AGGHGGHHHHHH!

I am going to capture that bear and....stuff it???? and mount it above my coldfire place!

He's invading my garden! Ack Ack!





Just kidding, that's like ma' and pa' kettle's 40 acre farm compared to mine!

But I thought the Jurassic Park music was a great touch, almost felt like weeping with joy!

Saw Ted 1, may need to go back and see Ted 2!

Well, I seem to recall that there is a great deal of D-Weed, or spice, on a world called Arakis, and using giant Sandworms to airate the soil does seem like something Tizzy would do...

And lets be honest, having multiple farms makes sense for an interdimensional/intergalactic/universal dealer. It's hard to argue with logistics.

I just figure that the Wilds of Eton provide some privacy, and if people go missing there, who cares?

As for Ted, lets be honest, Seth got high, met up with Tizzy at some point and got inspired to create Ted at that point. Only thing that makes sense. Tizzy probably was on a post-master-slaughter-bender or some such thing and wouldn't remember if he caught Samael and Lillith making out while Mephistopheles filmed the whole thing.

I'm surprised you haven't tried making your own strains of D-Weed. Given a multi-verse to exploit, there could be some funky stuff resulting.

As for Seth, I thought he was one of Loki's Avatars. Funny voices, (mild) disrespect for authority, appreciation of various forms of comedy...
We know Loki has to be alive, given that his underground PR campaigns have been going strong for the last 80 years or so, plus permanently removing the Lord of Mischief is a hard one to manage, even for his brother.

As for being on Family Guy, lets be honest, Stewie figuring out about demons would be too obvious a storyline, as for American Dad, yeah, easy fit, Stan would have access to the 'forbidden stuff'. As for Roger, yeah, I can see that. Too much of a 'Odd Couple' vibe going there, and not in a good way.

Given your fascination with that number, I'm curious that you are not more prominently featured in Pro-Demi-urge Propaganda. Then again Sam isn't really mentioned either, just circumspectly.
That does sound like each strain took about a 100+ years. I know magineering and genetic engineering is tough, seems like you needed partners long ago, that whole cracking the D-Weed-Genome thing...
