didn't feel like starting a new thread for these tidbits.
Took a mini vacation, got a lot of reading done including a couple on jane jensen thingies like on ludwig.
For example: Did you know Ludwig II HATED dogs, hated them very much. Ludwig tend to suffer infamous "bad headaches" all the time. When he went hunting at his various "HUNTING LODGES", he would demand the dogs be kept so far away that they would stay out of eatshot.
Another little reference that caught me eye, Ludwig II in a letter to Wagner (I think), made a reference about not ending up as a "Schattenkonig" or a "shadow king".
Also read half way through the man who mistook his wife for a hat. I have no idea what Miss Jane might have "taken" from that book. Not an iota of an idea.

Interesting about the dogs!
Isn't "shadow king" a term they used for kings who were not the real rulers and left the lead to a family member or minister? Still cool.

I believe that is exactly what it is, yeah the shadow king thing doesn't really have to do with much of anything.

I think Grace discussed this point with Dallmeier by the lake. How Ludwig signed over independent Bavarian statehood and became what he considered a real monarch in name only...
Or have I mixed up two different things? ("It could be a, how do you say... a mix-up?" Uh-oh, with Michael from the Munich university lab mixed in as well, make that three things. Also, nobody expects the... Never mind.)

Hi!
I'm a long time lurker, finally decided to register. I think some of you might know me from the Adventure Gamers forums. I'm a huge Gabriel Knight and Jane fan.
Like many of you i "suffered" through all those years waiting for Gray Matter, and it's almost unbelivable that will be released tomorrow! This is like a videogame dream!

Hi,
like a few other, I've been around here for some time, just shyly reading and trying to cope with a long, long, wait... Now, the game is (finally!!) out, and I thought I should say hi. So here it is !
Oh, and, if I can gloat among my friend that my English is good (compared to the average level) I'm still sorry for the mistakes I might have made and will make.
