Q. my Questions are 1-how many books do you plan to write in the RUNESCAPE series? 2-are you going to add new characters? and I mean main characters like how the main characters in Betrayal At Falador are Kara,Theadore,Gar'rth,Sulla,Jerrod,Castimir,Doric and The Alchemist
P.S.:loved Betrayal At Falador but i won't be able to get Return To Canfis until July because unfortunately i live in Palestine and they don't deliver here. Hafeth6
A. The books are currently ongoing with no determines number as yet. New characters appear in Return to add an opposing view to the heroes.

Q. My question: Is there a specific theme that you would like readers to take away from your books after they read them? Sir Bhuler.
A. Oh in depth question. The real one that reaches through the stories would have to be the relationship between the main characters and what their friendships really mean.

Q. My Question:
Why did you make Vampires control Werewolves when they are both equally matched? Is there another myth behind this? Minerex99
A. Good point. I wanted to take the expectation that everyone has of werewolves, put about by my account of Jerrod in book 1 also, and turn the fear on its head slightly, to make the werewolves partial victims to the REALLY evil vampires, who have nothing in common with the living. Of course, the werewolves aren't weak in any way.

AND THE THREE WINNERS ARE:

Q. I noticed that in Betrayal at Falador, never once does it swear, and yet characters die all the time. What content do you think is mature for readers and what do you think is not mature for them? Cavmo
A. Cavmo, I think this question deserves the winning query for the evening. I have very deliberately steered clear of putting in any swear words in the novel not so much for being a prude, but the fact that the novel is to appeal to a wide range of readership age groups. Where there might be need for a swearword, then often I have, like the violence, left it for the reader to 'fill in'. (E.g. Theodore cursed etc). It's a very simple point, but one I feel I need to explain to people who expect them.

Q. What are horses? Runic Dream
A. Ha ha! Horses were added to fill in the gap for scale theory. It was my own input and one I think works for the novels though it is, of course, different from the game. It is something I stand by though as I think the addition is needed.

Q. 1) When Jagex modified your work to make it fit the canon, did this result in you learning anything about the lores? To clarify, I do not necessarily mean things that are not publicly known, but was there any lore knowledge you gained from this experience that you had previously had no idea about? Kitty Phantom.
A. Hi Kitty. I do recall your question in the previous Q and A thank you. However you present question is quite right, I have submitted a recent plan for book 3 and the ensuing feedback has indeed pointed out a few areas which have since been adapted into the book (including future updates).



RuneScape will be in touch to email you with regard to sending your email addresses.

I am also aware that there are a great number of questions that I have been unable to answer here tonight. However, for those interested, I will try and go through a few more on my website in my own time.

Have a great evening.

Regards.

TOM.
