English is not German! We're not all that concerned about placement.<br /><br />Also, "Perils Eternal" i evocative of the works of C.A. Smith in tone.Anthony N.

Altought Eternal Perils would be more correct, you can think at an halfway between. <br /><br />Good luck for your project, I'm looking forward to see it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410158290144822980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248515008776497550.post-20364591323196660812012-07-20T03:40:03.953-05:002012-07-20T03:40:03.953-05:00@Raskal: no, i will only write a retro-clone of it...@Raskal: no, i will only write a retro-clone of it. I'm going to make it more D&D like in presentation, and i would like to do away with the alleged "dryness" of Snider's style of writing.<br /><br /> Plus, many modifications to make it more easy and accessible, sort of a "Sword & wizardry" version of P&P.<br /><br />I think "Perilous lands" is already a nice setting.<br /><br />@David: thanks for the input, that's what i was after, an "old-fashioned" and sort of poetic feeling for the name.Philosophical slumberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09585095964577331413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248515008776497550.post-24336144731232177992012-07-19T19:27:58.654-05:002012-07-19T19:27:58.654-05:00You're right CL, putting eternal at the end of...You're right CL, putting eternal at the end of the name sounds poetic and old fashioned.

I like "Eternal perils" a lot but i don't know how "Perils Eternal" sounds in english (i mean, to an english mothertongue speaker who hears it). <br /><br />I got inspired by the name "Arduin eternal", i thought putting "eternal" at the end sounds more poetic or more artistic, but i may be wrong. Any insight is more than welcome.Philosophical slumberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09585095964577331413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248515008776497550.post-43523160283866788212012-07-18T11:06:27.937-05:002012-07-18T11:06:27.937-05:00What about Eternal Perils?What about Eternal Perils?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410158290144822980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248515008776497550.post-9900442947786016192012-07-18T08:39:28.427-05:002012-07-18T08:39:28.427-05:00Excellent news CL, I look forward to following thi...Excellent news CL, I look forward to following this project.
