I’ve been having a talk with a couple of my gaming friends, who have read the Harry Potter books. They all agree that Harry Potter wouldn’t do well in a world with actual super heroes (and they’d do abysmally on Merlin-1). They all admitted that, if people like Harry Potter actually existed, the books wouldn’t have meant anything to them. One of them (who is admittedly OCD) said that they still would have read all of them, but then moved on to something more interesting.
A world with just Superman, sure they’d do well. A world like Marvel, with supers all over the place, but only a few publically known supers . . . still, probably not. A world where there are enough super heroes to support a supers-placement agency . . . waste of time.
They even shot down my idea of our world’s Harry Potter novels—it would help, but too few children would be able to grasp the idea of a world without supers. It might be popular with adults, and young adults, but it wouldn’t be successful with children or teens.
Now . . . put a copy of the Hypnotoad on the title page and it’ll sell like hotcakes.
ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!![[Image: 34f36b916363aaaeb6918530af7a71ce3f4411a0_r.gif]](http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/forums/forumimportfiles/34f36b916363aaaeb6918530af7a71ce3f4411a0_r.gif)
