Guardians of the Flame: Difference between revisions

* [[Power Loss Makes You Strong]]: Lou Riccetti actually becomes more dangerous ''after'' {{spoiler|losing his wizardly powers and being forced to rely on his engineering skills}}.

* [[Prime Directive]]: Utterly ignored - at least in the first four books, none of the "heroes" even stops to think if it's ethically or morally justified to introduce huge changes into the sociopolitical culture of another world. For example by introducing guns which triggers an arms race and trying to end slavery by violent assualts on slaver caravans rather than waiting to see if it comes about naturally as society evolves past the need or allowing of slavery. Not to mention setting up their own ''kingdom'', forever changing geopolitical makeup of the world. Possibly justified by the fact that Arthur Deighton/Arta Myrdhyn had already seriously interfered (including fighting a massive magical duel that laid waste to an entire valley) though it's not made clear whether he's an earth or world native.

* [[Red String of Fate]]: Karl and Andy-Andy. In later books, it's revealed that {{spoiler|the wizard who sent the students across was actually waiting for Andy-Andy to join the group, since she and Karl were fated to have a child who had the power to wield a particular artifact}}.

* [[The Resistance]]: Karl and his friends decide to oppose the local slave trade and thereby set themselves up as this.
