No game this Tuesday. Bronchitis has me down if not out (yes I've been a hot mess recently).
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. But I'm going to ask you try to say something about what this game has meant to you. Chris Kutalik here are some questions for you as the DM, feel free to answer none, some, or all, or totally different questions that you think of: (1) What were you trying to do with the campaign when you started it?

The Kustatan Bear Story, featuring:
● Fascinating mix of Alaska Native (Dena'ina) & native Californian elements (observer was Alaska Native who had been to Fort Ross with Russians as a laborer)
● Shaman duel, including 2 shamans stuffed in a bear suit
● Blessed bear-slaying bullets made with Orthodox magic
● Figurines of Wondrous Power (Cedar Dog) used to create a famine
● Weird addendum about a demon moose
● Events somewhat corroborated in journal of local Russian priest
Brutal. Get well, dude. Let me know if you need to skip the Hydra meeting.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon!
ReplyDeleteoh no; feel better, man.
ReplyDeleteFeel better; breathing is good!
ReplyDeleteBogus man! Feel better. I am here taking care of my wife whose glands are all swollen so she can't talk.
ReplyDeleteThanks all. I'm pro-breathing for the record.
ReplyDeleteOh hey Chris Kutalik I got Folktales of the Amur in the mail today (it is gorgeous) - apart from that and like Dersu Uzala is there anything else you can recommend on the pre-Soviet Russian Far East?
ReplyDeleteI read The Reindeer People by Vitebsky about the Eveny people but it's a contemporary account with a lot of emphasis on the shitty things that happened in the Soviet era. There's not a lot in English though I've been eyeing this book about traditional art in the Amur basin.
