The Hill Cantons cosmology inspiration mix Jack Vance novels (absurdist satire of religious mores) Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword and Three Hearts, Bachman's Dragon article (the Weird and its cosmic juxtaposition to human civilization, the waxing/waning of gods being tied to the amount of human worship and the reduction of “Faerie”) Leiber's Lankhmar stories (more satire, petty gods and apotheosis) Early Renaissance Catholicism, Mediterranean hero-cults, Hellenistic and Roman sun-cults, Theosophy, Jewish neoplatinism and mystical traditions, Piper's Lord Kalvan, Early Christian theological disputes (Sun Lord) Hussites, Mormon feminism, William Blake's poetic mythology around the Triple Goddess (Celestial Lady) Slavic pagan mythology (Pahr Old Gods and a number of godlings) Hindu and Native American creation myths (World Turtle) M.A.R Barker's Creat...
I will be there with my wife. She adventures and shops
ReplyDeleteI will be.
ReplyDeleteI will probably be.
ReplyDeleteI will be.
ReplyDeleteWe just booked our plane tickets.
ReplyDeleteYall coming in Thursday
ReplyDeleteWednesday. Give us a little time to chill out and recover from the flight before the madness begins.
ReplyDeleteDennis Higgins Cool. Been thinking about flying down a day early myself to hit Six Flags (which is only a couple miles away from the hotel). Interested?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to drive again, leaving Tue evening, spend the night near Jackson MS and finish the drive Wed morning. Woot woot. Hope to get out of my room more this year and spend less money. : )
ReplyDeleteRobert Parker We get in Wednesday afternoon. When do things start on Thursday? We might be down.
ReplyDeleteBad ass! I'm going to be there pretty much for sure. Probably will run a game or two.
ReplyDeleteWe need a private game this year, much like our By This Axe last year but with more prep. Perhaps I can run T2K on Wed Night or Thu? Suggestions? WARBAND!
ReplyDeleteWarband!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWARBAND LARP!!! Lol
ReplyDeleteYes we should prep more beer and pretzels games.
ReplyDeleteI've considered bringing either A Distant Plain (Afghanistan) or Fire in the Lake (Vietnam) if we want to get our COIN war game action on. But then I might have to check a bag, which we don't want to do.
ReplyDeleteThey each support up to 4 players and I'll bring one if them if we definitely will play.
ReplyDeleteI would love to give either a try. But wouldn't want to force you to check a bag.
ReplyDeleteIf someone sprung for a larger room I could drag over a keg or two
ReplyDeleteDennis Higgins oh definitely Fire in the Lake, way up on my wanna play list.
ReplyDeleteMike Davison to play them against human opponents, it might be worth it. Fortunately it's also the summer so the clothing takes up little space in the carry on.
ReplyDeleteDennis Higgins then by all mean Vietnam is my choice too.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome, Dennis Higgins (as does WARBAND!, Mike Davison). I'll look at flights, but it would be fun to do roller coasters and the like.
ReplyDeleteI put in an official request to run Misty Isles on either Friday or Saturday night.
ReplyDeleteHope you all have a blast! I can't swing this every year. Only drivable for me if I was into meth.
ReplyDeleteComing to this belatedly: hey Dennis Higgins I'm going to be NTRPGing this year. I'd love, love, love to try out Fire in the Lake if you do manage to bring it.
ReplyDeleteYeah me too
ReplyDeleteYeah. I'll totally bring it.
ReplyDeleteI almost wonder if I need to bring a keg to ice in the bathtub
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's not Bud, I know where I'll be hanging out.
ReplyDeleteBy the end of the evening I wouldn't even care.
ReplyDeleteI never buy ambev stuff the goblins put their feet in it
