[UA] Promethea

[Rick Neal]

Greetings, all.

Just out of curiosity, anyone on the list besides me reading the Alan Moore
comic series Promethea, out of ABC? I've been feeling that it's a really
well done look at a possible structure of relationship between Archetype and
Avatar, although not ideal for UA purposes. The discussions on magickal and
sexual symbolism in the latest issue, while not groundbreaking, are laid out
in a useful, logical manner, and the issues that deal with the four weapons
of magick (cups, swords, coins, and wands) while traveling through the
Immateria are great sources for inspiration in using these symbols in a
game. There is also a former Avatar of Promethea (who is a strictly feminine
Archetype in the book) who is a gay male, which is handled in a somewhat
interesting fashion.

What is everyone (or anyone) else's opinion on this?

The tide must have a turning, the wind must have a change
Children go to cities, where the stars are strange
And Memory's a winding path shining in the rain
To places where we parted, and shall not meet again
