The SmartMonsters Bookstore

 
SmartMonsters' games are not for everyone. We write for adults with fairly rich educational and cultural backgrounds. We assume our players like to read, and know how to type. We don't write for kids. If this sounds like you, welcome!

The works listed here have all been used in some way as background for TriadCity, our flagship game.

"Eliot presents in The Waste Land not only London but the collective history of the city, beginning in Athens. This progression accounts for the cast of characters in the poem: Tiresias (Athems), Christ (Jerusalem), Cleopatra (Alexandria), Marie Larisch (Vienna), and Queen Elizabeth (London).
