AKOTAS Digression: I'm looking forward to the Roman War. That's something I've only read about in discussions ABOUT Arthur (GURPS CAMELOT, mainly). It gets left out of pretty much any mass-media translation.
I've caught hints in your flash-forwards that, in the Space Arc, the Arthur-Guenevere-Lancelot triangle may not end quite so badly. There certainly seems to be some indication that the Space Arc is the echo where Arthur finally gets it RIGHT.
Maybe that's wishful thinking on my part, but part of me would like to see this mythos in general and your versions of the characters in particular get SOME kind of happy ending. An eternally-repeating tragedy would just be depressing.

Yes, there's another fellow on the message board who says the same thing. Unless that's you under a different netname. In AKOTAS the Roman War will last about six, seven months. If you're really interested in the Roman War, hunt up the Vinaver/Winchester edition of Malory (I understand Caxton left out a lot).
