Ok folks so I think I am finally read for running the Hill Cantons again now that I am back in AZ and gainfully unemployed for a second. Are folks up for a game next week?? (Dennis are you still running Tuesdays).

Just to warm you up here are some images of what denizens of the Weird look like in Himyar/The Scarlet Sultanate.

    James Aulds I was thinking any character new or old. Just as long as you are a foreigner to Himyar.

    Sounds good by me! Also btw Chris Kutalik I'm gonna be doing a bunch of LotB stuff on the blog for a while (regular updates!) so may have some inspiration for you there.

    Humza K awesome. I’m digging into Turkic mythology and it’s pretty fecund ground in general. Liking the departure points from Arabian Nightsy things.

    Yes. Iranian myths, and their culture hero. I believe it’s Rustum ... but it’s a part of this epic: en.m.wikipedia.org - Shahnameh - Wikipedia

    Sometimes called Rostam. Valuable if you want Himyar to show the influence of Persia and Anatolia.

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...

So with the random murder of the entire badgerman patrol plus plans to commit ethnic cleansing (again) now that negotiations have been utterly torpedoed, I'm starting to feel like we've shifted gears from being inspired by The Eyes of the Overworld to like King Leopold's Ghost or something.
