One thing I wanted to do was focus heavily on the characters, to continue the existing story rather than expand the world of Hawk into a typical fantasy world of warlords and power bases – I honestly think you can get that stuff anywhere, and one thing I didn’t want to do was lose the unique tone of the original. So you get a good chunk of the original cast, but also some new characters who will work well alongside them, and they don’t get lost as the narrative unfolds.
