[UA] St. Matthew the Tapeholder

[Ville Halonen]

I feel like a lousy listmember, as I only begin some threads and never get involved in any discussions based on them. I'm right, of course, but I have to do this from a library. Anyway, a stupid thought:

I was translating UA-related stuff in Finnish for my campaign, flipping through three different dictionaries and in one of them I stumbled upon a picture of the Evangelist symbols, and I just couldn't make out what Matthew was holding in his left hand...

Although it looked like a videotape.

Those with any sort of precognition skills should know what's coming.

This may be well one of the most obscure and illogical plot hooks and/or metaphors and/or insider jokes ever thought of, but I couldn't help thinking of an avatar of the True King asshole with wings and a crown holding the NG tape in his possession.

Of course, Matthew was a tax collector, so he's a True King AND a powerful plutomancer et blahtera, and a Chronicler and an Eastern cryptomancer, if he were THE Matthew, and a nutjob.

Just passing by.

Going now.

Bye.
