ELOTH:TES Makes The News

Posted by Zonk on from the down-with-furnicators dept.

The well-known Elmenstor Saga, a hit franchise of novels, comics, cartoons, and games, has been featured in a Wired article about the project's continued success. From the article: "Spanning more than 1,400 articles, the Epic Legends of the Hierarchs -- or as fans have unpronounceably abbreviated it, ELOTH:TES -- [is a] modern fantasy franchises: a rich history that spans thousands of years; a contentiously out-of-canon cartoon offshoot, The Wizbits; as well as a crazed, seizure-ridden chief creative director, James Langomedes ..." I always thought Vel Jinglefist got the short end of the straw in the American version of the show. The Japanese treatment of his character was much broader.

  1. Elmenstor Saga? by Yocto+Yotta · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So, just to clarify since Zonk cared not to, this is a fictional IP created by the PA guys and elaborated on by losers -- I mean nerds -- damn it, I mean fans. Don't go looking for the Wizbits DVDs. Anytime soon anyhow.

      The idea that the Elemenstor Saga was created by the PA guys is refuted here:

  2. I really miss that show. by Daikiki · · Score: 4, Funny

    I used to watch the Wizbits religiously on Saturday mornings, but I haven't seen any reruns in a long time. They say there's a DVD on the way, but I can't find it on Amazon. Anybody know of any torrents?
