° - i know: but yr hmbl srppnt. sometimes gets bored especially keying-in books' 45worlds urls in full...

after a gap of four years, three further guardians of the flame novels started to appear:
published by tor books:
#8: ''not exactly the three musketeers'' (1999), q.v.
#9: ''not quite scaramouche'' (2001), q.v.
#10: ''not really the prisoner of zenda'' (2003), q.v.

yr hmbl srppnt. has not read, nor even seen, these last three, and has no idea whether they are based upon a continuation of the story of people translated into the original fantasy role-playing game gmmed by joel rosenberg for his friends, and how they survive and prosper - or don't - or even if any of the original players-become-characters remain...°°

°° - informed advice would be welcome
