Evil RPG thoughts - Emperor Norton
Jul. 15th, 2010 08:45 amThis old boy invaded my thoughts last night as I tried to sleep:

It occurred to me that his door could suddenly start working to any world wherein he is a character, which at this point I can only think of three; his original canon (Sandman issue #31), Christopher Moore's San Francisco (in the books Bloodsucking Fiends, A Dirty Job and You Suck) and Ted Naifeh's Polly and the Pirates. He is also of course mentioned in Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus! trilogy but nothing definite beyond his being seen as a saint for the Discordians.
Which makes me tempted to reApp him.
ETA context: Emperor Norton was the first character I applied to play at
