Portianitor:
I think I will help clearing the dirt away, this is a great thread IMO to have rise again
Eco's Baudolino is a delight. We are starting a Theban game and this is a grog I made for it:
Heroes' Birthright: duration and warping Gavagai
Gavagai? And the character seems to be about the problem of interpretation, and have a detached part... Very, very Eco.
(The name is a reference to an example used by Willard van Orman Quine to argue that it is all but impossible to interpret someone else's language as anything other than a whole. If someone says "gavagai" while pointing at a rabbit, does gavagai mean "rabbit"? Or "single temporal instantiation of a rabbit"? Or "bundle of undetached rabbit parts"?)
Or my favourite, "Lo, it rabbiteth again".

I was recommended the "The Night Templar" trilogy of books by a friend. It is about a Swedish guy (Arn) that could be a PC since it is optimized for his role (puissant single weapon et al) and goes from childhood in a monastery to crusades to blood feuds and to the creation of the realm of Sweden after going on crusade for a while.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Knight ... trilogy%29
The good thing is that the character is born 1150, so it is adequate for Ars period.
There is also a film about it:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arn_%E2%80 ... ht_Templar
