Haven as HBO's Deadwood
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 5:59 pm
I was just re-reading the 1st Edition Parlainth book, which I haven't picked up since the 90s. I was struck by the similarities between Haven and Deadwood.
Both are frontier boom towns, existing to service a rush of fortune seekers. They have no formalized law or government, but are instead largely owned and controlled by a small group of somewhat unscrupulous businessmen who work to protect their own financial interests and sideline or flat out crush any competition. I see Torgak as essentially Al Swearengen.
Thoughts?
