            Oh is it? Why wouldn't it be I guess.

              I've been busted. But yeah, Weis & Hickmen were my jam back in high school.

                I really enjoyed their stuff as well at that age, although looking back the amount of Mormon allegory in DL was kinda weird.

                  Sometimes I suspect that all the good High Fantasy authors have Mormon roots.

                    I think it's because of how weird and Mason-y their mythology is.

                    Three heavens? Hell is called "The Outer Darkness?" Multiple tiers of godhood, with mortals ascending to godhood and living in space? It's basically a D&D campaign setting.

    First they came for the property developers and I did not speak out, for I did not own any property.

        Then they came for the pundits, and I did not speak out, for I was never in mainstream media.

    The literal most explicitly anti capitalist media possible? Yeah, it actually proves socialism is bad

      China is when South Korea, and the more South you go the more China it is.

      When you get to Japan, its North Korea.

      I've only seen like one ep of both, but it seems very similar to an anime someone here was recommending called Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji.
