Avalon. A view from Glastonbury Tor a week ago.

"Glastonbury, Avalon, the Isle of Glass as seen through the archway of St Michael's tower this morning before sunrise. The colours in the sky reflected in the flood waters below."

~ 'Visions of Somerset'

[Thank you Ian Sanders]

“And so, perhaps, the truth winds somewhere between the road to Glastonbury, Isle of the Priests, and the road to Avalon, lost forever in the mists of the Summer Sea.” ― Marion Zimmer Bradley, The Mists of Avalon

+

“Avalon will always be there for all men to find if they can seek the way thither, throughout all the ages past the ages. If they cannot find the way to Avalon, it is a sign, perhaps, that they are not ready." - Kevin” ― Marion Zimmer Bradley, The Mists of Avalon

“Beyond the River of the Blessed, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Avalon. Our swords were shattered in our hands and we hung our shields on the oak tree. The silver towers were fallen, into a sea of blood. How many miles to Avalon? None, I say, and all. The silver towers are fallen. …waters,where the stars shone like bonfires at night and the green of day was always the green of spring. Youth, love, beauty-I knew them in Avalon. Proud steeds, bright metal, soft lips, dark ale. Honor…” ― Roger Zelazny, The Chronicles of Amber

Ubik, Slan and Conrad of the Godhand from Kentaro Miura's Berserk, each pictured with the novel that inspired their name:

Ubik by Philip K. Dick, 1969

Slan by A.E. van Vogt, 1946

This Immortal (first published serialized as "...And Call Me Conrad") by Roger Zelazny, 1966

Void and Femto are not named for sci-fi novels. The artwork of each character is directly from Miura's Berserk.

Revenge is a dish best served over and over and over again. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we’re talking about Roger Zelazny’s 1971 novel Jack of Shadows. Gygax included the novel — a high-concept blend of fantasy and science fiction — in Appendix N, but it isn’t one that gets talked about all that often. Perhaps because it is such an unrelentingly ugly book, featuring a protagonist who embraces his dark side and never lets go, to the sorrow of everyone around him, and even unto the end of the world as he knows it. This one is DARK. And yet, because it is Zelazny, still incredibly readable and entertaining. That dude could write.

“I like libraries. It makes me feel comfortable and secure to have walls of words, beautiful and wise, all around me. I always feel better when I can see that there is something to hold back the shadows.” ― Roger Zelazny, Nine Princes in Amber.
