Talk to the characters.

[Bluelantern]

I wanted to know the another-Zanna supposed canon? Warcraft?

Also who is the lady of with facial tattoos?

[AndaisQ]

Other-Zanna was Dragon Age Zanna, who is an elven bloodmage. She will be threaded shortly, because I have lost control of my life.

Unrecognizable tattooed lady is a friend's Star Wars OC with whom I had a very brief sandbox. Followed by the League, followed by an unpleasant ableist dragon, followed by a shren in bird form and several daemons and also some people who just happen to be talking birds.

[PlainDealingVillain]

For some reason 'league of tiny men' made me picture the Nac Mac Feegle instead of Mileses.

Wait, no, there can't be Feegles, they don't know how to leave bars.

[Kappa]

There could be Feegles if they came into Milliways from a different bar. Then instead of leaving a bar when they left Milliways, they would be entering a bar, which I bet they do know how to do.

[DanielH]

And what about the talking birds? Anything interesting about them? (of course, they’re in Milliways, but is there anything developed about them or are they just an offhand reference?)

[AndaisQ]

As I said, mostly they were sundry daemons. I'm prepared to declare the rest Redwallian birds, though. If only because the idea of Redwall's creatures interacting with a larger multiverse is kind of hilarious to me.

[anthusiasm]

Oh my gosh Redwallers in Milliways. That would literally be the best thing I've ever read.

[cbhacking]

Huh... I guess it makes sense that Milliways translates Redwallian birds' funetic aksents in a way that people other than precocious protagonists can interpret. (warning: link contains mindvirus)

The concept in general is pretty amusing, yeah. I quickly lost interest in Redwall (too formulaic and you could accurately identify a character as good/evil, effective/useless, loyal/traitorous, etc. by species 95% of the time) but it *would* be fully to see Milliways-ish folks interact with them.

EDIT: How do I make this forum turn arbitrary text into a URL? The usual BBCode approach I've used before - [url="http://..."]text[/url] doesn't seem to work here.
EDIT2: OK, so you need to omit the quotation marks. That's weird, but thanks for the tip!

[DanielH]

You drop the quotes:

Code: Select all

[url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FunetikAksent]Funetik Aksent[/url]

I guess if your URL is too fancy to be parsed that way (the TVTropes one isn’t), you need to percent-escape it.

Yes, you do. You have Draconic.
