    That would be Nemec Evan Elkins. Basically most everything is almost shouted.

    Man I will never understand how german sounds angry to people. I always hear it as so much silly singsongy lederhoseny nonsense.

    I always think of it as sound mumbly, like they're trying to tell you something they're guilty about in a sitcom.

    Also I just assumed Nemec speakers just kinda wagged their jaws in slack unpatterns while being naturally dubbed over in Pahr.

    Anthony Picaro in the real world--leaving aside one nasty shout-filled incident I had with some Austrian border guards--I generally agree about the sound of German. I kinda imagine HC Nemec to sound a lot like Hogan's Heroes Germans.

    Anthony Picaro I think it's because they only hear words being yelled in Deutsch in World War II movies. Mostly they all kind of sound a bit like Ringo Starr, to me.

    Just out of curiosity - Němec are the dominant cultural group in the Overkingdom itself, yes?

    Anthony Picaro correct.

    Random: Google translates "němčour" as "Jerry" which I find megafunny.

It's been a while since the “formal” ask, but time to check in on the “how's it going” type feedback (which has been pretty valuable in sustaining the campaign over time). So how y'all feeling about the campaign?  Anything particular you want to see more of? Less of? Stay the course?  Suggestions? Wish lists?  Various half-crazed side campaign ideas keep popping into my head, but I am mostly staying the course for now.

What Ba Chim's spy tells you about Il Tasi'in

What Ba Chim's spy tells you about Il Tasi'in Il Tasi'in, a thick-walled town of 3000, is the seat of power for one of the the most isolated of the borderland satrapies of the Scarlet Sultanate. Located on the east coast just after the shoreline turns south, it is a bare 60 miles from the Xobi, the cold rocky southern desert in the Weird.  The town which is dominated by the two raised quartz-dome hills called the Teats of Manat was formerly called Manawat and was deeply associated with the worship of that chthonic goddess (who is said to have ruled over fate itself and “sapped the self-will and value of Men”). The ruling satrap is like other borderlands satraps both a highly-positioned courtier and necromancer, an important role in the maintenance of the undead-worked plantation system (more about Industrial Necromancy in a blog post).  Ul-Namihirra is generally considered to be a deeply incompetent in both his expected roles but survives politically by his ability to shift...

So we are playing the Feral Shore next week (I really want to commit to getting back going forward in this year with the eventual retirement of Revoca). Here is the recap and update y'all wanted (the linked piece being an updated version of my previous update, make sure to read the stuff here in this post).  Recap The Feral Shore is currently three months behind Revoca in the space/time continuum. Players can take the opportunity now to conduct a week of downtime activity before the session next week. (Some sites in the Weird bend time so I am not going to overworry integrating the two play groups.)  What Happened Last Session and During Downtime: 1. The party killed Milos the creepy hedge wizard of the Deermen in the wooded river basin to your west. Total treasure hauled out (and this was never posted) from furnishings and ancient coins totals 3,100 gold suns and a collection of three filigreed and magically-balanced spent-uranium throwing axes (+1 and an additional 30' of ran...
