You really should read some more of Terry Pratchett's Discworld - I suggest the Death series, which is Mort, Reaper Man, Soul Music, Hogfather, and Thief of Time in that order.

I will. I have new impetus now that one of the PC's in the first port campaign is named Captain Artichoke ("Captain" being his Christian name and not his rank). I've been told that any resemblance between this guy and a certain Captain Carrot are strictly intentional.

I keep laughing at things here and there in this setting, probably because of the seemingly laid-back sarcasm inherent in the writing, and it reminds me a lot of Pratchett in a good way, especially the lists of notable people.

The tone is meant to keep other people reading it (and us writing it). It's supposed to be fun (and I'm glad you agree).

Also, Onomatopoeia - do you or anyone else in your group read Green Arrow?

Not me. The only DC I've read lately was All-Star Superman (I heart Grant Morrison).

Ah. I've read a few different things now... All-Star Batman & Robin, The Long Halloween, Hush 1/2, The Dark Knight Returns, etc... but I am reminded of a enemy of Green Arrow's, a strange assassin fellow who mimics noises.

I love your revisions of the halfings and shadar-kai, absolutely genius stuff.  Great characters too, especially Count Orquiel, the Crimson Orb, Kloot, Shem & Shaun, and Gladmarrow!  Your ship naming, by the way, reminds me greatly of the Cutlure novels' ship-names (Iain M. Banks) - have you read them?  In either case the names are quite brilliant.
