I have a exceedingly long drive ahead of me today with two sick kids, it's always nice to have to think about things gaming to keep my brain occupied/distracted. So anything y'all want to know about the Hill Cantons world or setting? Any outstanding non-spoiler mysteries  or details nagging you?

    Anything about the theology of those "Sun Lord Amish" guys who want to reconcile the Sun-Lord with the celestial lady?

    Any interesting stuff about the old-Pahr or cossack regions where Taurus probably comes from?

    Have sages ever questioned whether humans were native to this world, and if so, where do they think they came from?
    Are there any stories of people going to or coming from the other 3 quarters of the turtle's back?

Hey all.

Hey all. So I'm writing a google + mixtape post commemorating some of the great, long-running campaign on G+. Hill Cantons is at the top of my list. I'm collecting reflections and reminiscences from folks, game ephemera, session write ups and the like. I've followed Chris' blog from the beginning, and played with y'all in a late Hill Cantons phase for about 6 months, and read the Hydra Cooperative products. So I know a lot. But I still need your help to do this right. This is kind of hard one, because I know how much this game means to everyone who plays in, and how long it's been going.
