Forum’s Fav Thrill - Brass Sun vs. Cursed Earth Koburn Rd 4 Heat 17

[Colin YNWA]

Over the halfway mark already in Round 4, things are moving fast these days and I might consider one a day for future rounds, we'll see. This week is an interesting mix. We have a couple of contenders for the tourney as a whole, the one remaining Prog 1 thrill and I think this week will filters some of the 'lesser' thrills out... but as ever we'll see

Starting the week a thrill we all* can't wait to return and one that keeps enjoyably popping up when you think it might be done. Both have much to offer, though in my mind one starts out this tie as strong favourite*

*™ personal bias!

I get why Brass Sun has all the plaudits, but of the two I'd rather re-read Cursed Earth Koburn

Koburn


Kinda ridiculous that Flesh got booted so early. The little reminders of who strips bested in the previous round is always a fun read.

I've not read all of Brass Sun. Enjoyable and nice to look at but left me a little cold, hence me not finishing it.

Comfortably beaten by Cursed Earth Koburn

Don't worry - neither has Ian Edginton!

Brass Sun I think, but only just.

[AlexF]

Am struggling not to be swayed by two factors. 1) Brass Sun feels so long ago and with unfulfilled promise that's it's actively annoying. 2) Poor Gordon Rennie got a right kicking last week in the Tourney, and Koburn is just super consistenly fun to read, doesn't deserve to bow out...

But I'd be lying if I didn't say how terrfically excited I'd be / will be when Tharg announces the next series of Brass Sun. Plus it's the one I'm already excited about diving into a re-read of.

So yeah, sorry Mr Rennie, it's Brass Sun that's winning my vote.

If Brass Sun hadn't stalled mid-story then things might be different. Left dangling as it is potential only partly fulfilled I think Koburn takes this one
