Apart from my initial misgivings regarding the usual collect-the-rings plot device there, it sounds like it could turn out to be pretty durned tasty, so I shall certainly look forward to checking it out. Oh, and the Shadow/ Dark/ Sith/ -Lord thing has been done to death, can't we get something a bit different for a change?
A psycho clown like Kefka in FF6 or something, I don't care as long as it's not another Dark Lord.
Side note: Has anyone ever wondered what these evil dark lords actually plan to do after they win? I mean, their entire existence seems to revolve around world domination, so what happens next? He'll be sat twiddling his thumbs wondering why he's all of a sudden no longer having any fun
Well, even if it has been done before, it can still be done in an interesting and thoughtful fasion, so that's what I'll be hoping for
