    Surprised we don’t have a thread.

    Just saw this:



    I’m guessing they’ll either do a single season and do the Redwall story or do a trilogy of Mossflower/Redwall/Mattimeo.

    Perhaps start with Redwall and then just do some self-contained seasons (like the books) if it’s popular? Would love to see The Long Patrol adapted.

    Children’s series but good world building, very influential. 20+ books but most are stand alone. Anthropomorphic animals fightin’ battles and havin’ feasts.

    Many are saying GRRM used it as a template

    Read the shit out of these as a kid. Looking forward to getting my son into them. Hopefully he will enjoy the show.

    I don’t remember them well enough to remember my favorites unfortunately.

    Mossflower is basically the prequel to Redwall. Martin the Warrior origin story.

    Long Patrol is just a hare-focused story and it’s my favorite overall.

    Lord Brocktree is also badger/hare focused. Those were just always my favorite storylines.

    Still have all of mine, don't think I read/have the last few looking at the list of them. Could work really well as a Netflix series.

    This man is dedicated, that avatar is from the series right?

    Also, great take on Salamandastron stories being top tier

    I always wanted to live in a house built into a mountain like Salamandastron when I was a kid.
