So I just read Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's Roadside Picnic and watched Tarkovsky's film adaptation, Stalker. I'm wondering if any of the stuff in there might turn up in Tharkold? The adaptation's different from the novel, but both involve a region of the earth that's been turned into an area where...

I note that the statement in the chat didn't say that the Space Gods would show up in Core Earth. Maybe they appear in Orrorshan India, to get back at the Gaunt Man.

But Tron is also an anti-communist manifesto under the hood. Released in 1982 in the heart of the Cold War, it has a Com...
