    Re: Thoughts on Evolving Villains

     

    I had a GM in a different genre game do something like that, and I think it made for some of the best role-play we ever had. The villian started out as an npc/pc in our group and evolved into our arch-nemesis. Since he knew us and how we fought we constantly had to adjust our tactics to win. Everytime we knew we would have to face him, it became a strategy session of what can he do now vs what can we do.

     

    It was great.

     

    In comics, Joker learns and begins to anticipate how batman will act, as does Lex with supes. It only makes sense, especially for a long-running game where they team will meet the same villian multiple times.

    Captain's Fury by Jim Butcher

     

    Captains Fury is the 4th book in Jim Butcher's Codex Alara, set in a Romanesque fantasy setting. All people have access to magical Furies of air, water, earth, steel, wood or fire, usually only one.

     

    This story picks up a few months after the events of book three, and is easily the best book of the series.

     

    The world setting is lush with interesting foes, both political and military, without being overly heavy like a R.R. Martin book.

     

    There is not much to discuss without ruining the first three books, so I say to you NGD reader, Give it a go! See that Jim Butcher can do fantasy as well as he does Urban Fantasy in the Dresden Files.

     

    This is a series that needs to be read from the beginning, but be warned that the first book is a bit slow as it sets the world and finds its feet.
