Hey Evan Elkins , or anyone else who knows, since Father Jack is from Jeff's England (which is 11th century I think?) he's never seen a bible written in English. Is it correct that his bible would be in Latin? What version would it most likely be, if that term would even apply?

He knows a bit of Latin; enough to get by for masses and such. Thus, if it's Latin, he's best-guess translating on-the-fly as he makes his pronouncements. If it's in Greek, and he's looking at that while he makes his pronouncements, it's even more hilarious.

    The Bible of that time period would be in Latin in the translation of St. Jerome (known as the Vulgate).

    Michael Moscrip James Maliszewski is right either way, but I should note that Jeff's England is in the 12th century (c. 1140)

The town of Iascu mid-map is where Tazrun's twin brother is reported to live. Your entry point is at Hex 05.14.

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.
