And then things started to get down & dirty as worm took on various party member's faces. We're still not sure what this meant but things got even weirder. </span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We were suddenly overtaken by worm drovers whose boss was a wizard  seemed to look like Xusia from old Eighties film 'The Sword & The Sorcerer'. And that's when the worm begged for help telepathically'. 'I can pay you to help me with this damn wizard!', the worm blasted our way & too the bandits who were attacking us. <br />And that's when everyone switched their blaster fire on the wizard & his worm drovers. The demon worm started to animate any dead that were around us as well. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">And finally after an hour or so of game time we finally were able to unhinge the drovers off of the worm. Our party just went with it the animating the dead thing. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The drovers high tailed it away but then I got the lingering feeling that we were going to have to deal with them again. If you've never seen the Eighties cultclassic 'The Sword & The Sorcerer' then you've never seen the black wizard Xusia. The take away is this the black wizard never gives up! If our deranged DM is modeling his worm wizard on Xusia then this guy won't either. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4aYrZUIJ3EtPuaga6pHHRBfW-b6XpEtmbjGl0h5j2ZYjf1cVaERdj0WLi6qp5nRb9zc_sFNXcEhUCBMNX_cVW1uOlmDmCdZJyWdli73vbiVDpUUgpQuLr0oItbAg2aBwbNebB8lAFa_ogl5Dcf7LsSskfD2ytWe1t8gDni7AZM5uI3foeEgY4GB_X/s1492/Sword-and-the-Sorcerer-1982.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1492" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4aYrZUIJ3EtPuaga6pHHRBfW-b6XpEtmbjGl0h5j2ZYjf1cVaERdj0WLi6qp5nRb9zc_sFNXcEhUCBMNX_cVW1uOlmDmCdZJyWdli73vbiVDpUUgpQuLr0oItbAg2aBwbNebB8lAFa_ogl5Dcf7LsSskfD2ytWe1t8gDni7AZM5uI3foeEgY4GB_X/s320/Sword-and-the-Sorcerer-1982.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The worm wasn't as good as his word. He lead us to a small underground dungeon & let us know that the treasure was in there. He also coughed up a magic sword & a few magic trinkets. Now as a player I've dealt with lots of these things on both sides of the screen. And the free coupons aside for a sling shot ride on the Purple Puliveriser in one of the outlying citys there's nothing that instills trust about this worm. </span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">And our group let the bandits have the treasure & went back to our original plan. We moved our speeders back into the deeper desert wastelands to locate the fabled Federation  spacecraft we were promised. And the demon worm assured us he could get us there. We didn't listen to the beast as we moved away as fast as we could. <br />And that's when a Federation space craft picked us up & where we ended! <br /></span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDPJ2DB_TrJ8bpuMqppEbEeM_FG3cErf7Qm9w6G7jQRmbN5Tax4X7kjom-5oorSJ-2LNvZYPyZ8qB4i74o4pl1pb5jPmvhSj8TJYdb8oXz758soQJ856OJybkQNRVIjG7i_Es5pGpfipam4Bwb0BQ6-d8y4GHRsQZ3Sl2MKc7yRHBnudeR4Uy0jQiJ/s636/Wretched%20Space.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="636" data-original-width="411" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDPJ2DB_TrJ8bpuMqppEbEeM_FG3cErf7Qm9w6G7jQRmbN5Tax4X7kjom-5oorSJ-2LNvZYPyZ8qB4i74o4pl1pb5jPmvhSj8TJYdb8oXz758soQJ856OJybkQNRVIjG7i_Es5pGpfipam4Bwb0BQ6-d8y4GHRsQZ3Sl2MKc7yRHBnudeR4Uy0jQiJ/w414-h640/Wretched%20Space.jpg" width="414" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I don't have a good feeling about this pick up & because we ended there I don't trust DM Steve at this point.

This year it was a doozy. He trotted out Dragon magazine issue#42's " The Mad Mansion of Professor Ludlow" By James M. Ward played with <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/218573/DARK-PLACES--DEMOGORGONS--Survive-This--Core-Rule-Book-OSR-RPG?src=hottest_filtered">Dark Places & Demigorgons rpg by Bloat Games. </a>And this is a such a satisfying little romp of an adventure. And it's a deadly little affair within the mansion. There's a ton of encounters & rooms in this </span><span style="text-align: left;">Dragon magazine issue#42 adventure. We were campers who were on a hiking trip using pre made PC's. </span><span style="text-align: left;">" The Mad Mansion of Professor Ludlow" is a "Kids on Bikes" way before it was a thing. James M. Ward was once again ahead of the curve on this adventure & it's evident within the guidelines that were laid down; "</span><span style="text-align: left;">While this adventure takes place in an AD&D setting, players should not be allowed to take along things which an AD&D player would normally use. For instance, graph paper would not be allowed for mapping, unless a camper had selected a mapping achievement badge. The achievement badges are just a fun thing, to allow the players to take a few more items that might help them, and they should not be abused. It is possible to have a gunnery achievement badge, but no camper will automatically possess a gun (though the badge may well be useful if the rifles are found in the trophy room). The first-aid badge allows a camper to carry a first-aid kit with ten “doses” of treatment. One dose will heal half of the damage done to an individual as the result of a single encounter, or will totally negate the effects of poison bites on one individual. Athletic achievement badges would allow campers to sustain less damage from falls and enable these campers to jump further and be a bit stronger than the other characters. Benefits for other badges can be determined as the referee sees fit. The group should be expected to travel together and to re-form in a large group as soon as possible when any of them become separated from the main body. Under “ON CLOSER INSPECTION” in a room description may be several facts, all of which would not necessarily be read to the players. “ON CLOSER INSPECTION” will not be read until all characters planning to enter the room have done so, and only after the players say that they are indeed looking around closely to gain information" </span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWTYIlhkkBgalxCeqjaHTGz7vFFhUgeESCGBDnnKSaL09YQkkOpVUIIB3cDKxm5mFTzUb13-ieywsSwcHxhzRV58ua8mgO1hUed60uDsvoLdx_iYQTQc-EV07nQIEm4oyHtfcrqtIFAnt3JYe4mLXoY8v-6ANFODuPfd8zh3dxco0PTYxwvHINL0QS/s888/Dark%20Places%20&%20Demigorgons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="888" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWTYIlhkkBgalxCeqjaHTGz7vFFhUgeESCGBDnnKSaL09YQkkOpVUIIB3cDKxm5mFTzUb13-ieywsSwcHxhzRV58ua8mgO1hUed60uDsvoLdx_iYQTQc-EV07nQIEm4oyHtfcrqtIFAnt3JYe4mLXoY8v-6ANFODuPfd8zh3dxco0PTYxwvHINL0QS/w432-h640/Dark%20Places%20&%20Demigorgons.jpg" width="432" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="text-align: left;">Personally my PC Peter Crispy died on the second level & we went into the mansion looking for our camp counselor.

We were able to trade up our sling shots, pocket knives, etc. for short swords, blades, and bows & arrows in the first floor of the mansion. And boy did we need those weapons as we were attacked by giant rats, bats, and even a wandering monster! We ran! That's right we ran our asses off! And made it to the second floor! And that's where a white pudding devoured my PC! I picked up a hireling kid who was another camper along for the ride. The upon closer inspection gambit in play was really cool! It allowed us as players to pick up far more detail. But this is a lethal & very dangerous adventure! We had a great time in retrospect & the rest of the players did complete most of the adventure with the objectives completed. </span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /><br /></span></span></div><p></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2022/10/osr-session-report-commentary-on-dragon.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2022/10/osr-session-report-commentary-on-dragon.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2022-10-30T19:20:00-07:00'>7:20 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2022/10/osr-session-report-commentary-on-dragon.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=357633543222175819&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=357633543222175819&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=357633543222175819&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=357633543222175819&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=357633543222175819&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=357633543222175819&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/search/label/%22%20The%20Mad%20Mansion%20of%20Professor%20Ludlow%22' rel='tag'>" The Mad Mansion of Professor Ludlow"</a>, <a href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/search/label/Bloat%20Games' rel='tag'>Bloat Games</a>, <a href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/search/label/DARK%20PLACES%20%26%20DEMOGORGONS%20-%20Survive%20This%21%21%20Rpg' rel='tag'>DARK PLACES & DEMOGORGONS - Survive This!!

Baron Blood isn't to be taken lightly at all. He's extremely dangerous & can wreck the day for many heroes by turning them into vampires an aspect that seems to be lost on many. He's highly manipulative, imaginative, and utterly dangerous as well as completely evil. </span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtbGHZDRqP06_ksbfF8c5sH_T9H_z-9M50ya_LP9LQ2Qe5_hN9i4k4dUh-FIAhA-5PyTSmet1bG1tu8WnsCR6F7L74JqHZRx8hhw2phH-tuj_yCc5nPYgaT-QzWktMIVTDxfPt3F5l9K9Bm-NMSuNZO5Z5614QxPfmYa8tWYfL0q9oQws0uDY0mwN_/s883/Baron.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="883" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtbGHZDRqP06_ksbfF8c5sH_T9H_z-9M50ya_LP9LQ2Qe5_hN9i4k4dUh-FIAhA-5PyTSmet1bG1tu8WnsCR6F7L74JqHZRx8hhw2phH-tuj_yCc5nPYgaT-QzWktMIVTDxfPt3F5l9K9Bm-NMSuNZO5Z5614QxPfmYa8tWYfL0q9oQws0uDY0mwN_/w434-h640/Baron.jpg" width="434" /></a><br /><br />One of the best pieces of artwork for Baron Blood used without permission.

font-size: medium;"> So I've been going over the latest update to Wretched Space & it's pretty damn interesting. But what's actually changed?! Well according to the authors:"<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505;">As previously mentioned, instead of publishing a setting sourcebook for Wretched Space, we decided to do the same as in Bastards: introducing setting information in each scenario. But there's some basic info needed, so that's where Wretched Space 1.4 comes in: it has 70 more pages with more creatures, planets and plot hooks, a more detailed description of the Galactic Federation, new factions, major characters and suggestions to use the Beyond in a space opera game." </span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgotBQqmyT6aN_0ZU_dY5NGgtTtpNNxm_3TpXYTVvHhjQnUn_gjpsuFSRZ9MUZhQg6jMHLCd8CZ39Rbs_5R_OTl2xduqDhvlPHFIVRhkC-N8UnQPGHHUH3z5O2MeT0IuW0ogOfUaXQ4Tlw4_-42KPyBvO0OAmyUNbFcnRZWkVUR4eNvSaNiFkBYkuS0/s2048/Wretched%20cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1325" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgotBQqmyT6aN_0ZU_dY5NGgtTtpNNxm_3TpXYTVvHhjQnUn_gjpsuFSRZ9MUZhQg6jMHLCd8CZ39Rbs_5R_OTl2xduqDhvlPHFIVRhkC-N8UnQPGHHUH3z5O2MeT0IuW0ogOfUaXQ4Tlw4_-42KPyBvO0OAmyUNbFcnRZWkVUR4eNvSaNiFkBYkuS0/w414-h640/Wretched%20cover.jpg" width="414" /></a><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">"<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505;">And don't feel cheated if you have previously purchased it in print: in case you decide to get a copy of the expanded version, we will send you a special discount, so you'll pay only for printing costs. But, for now, 1.4 it's just in digital format; we still have some proofreading to do before committing to print." </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So does the new Wretched Space Rpg actually live up to it's author's promises?! In a word, yes! There's expanded psionics, magic, &  a new uptake with the shaman class. </span></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We get a huge & drawn out section on the Galactic Federation, the capital of the Federation, major political & military battles, law enforcement, The Knights of Cydonnia optional PC class, brand new factions including the Shogunate Alliance, The Atlas, & much more!

Here in the darkness & dispair of June 1939 the shadows grow longer as horror grips America. Bodies have been going missing out of cemetaries across the United States. Everyone is far too busy talking about the emergence of so called costumed men across the planet! And that's not to mention the rise of the Nazi forces as fifth columists plagued New York City itself. And from the darkness come shadows.  On  Earth 4635x the shadows Doctor Zero emerges during the pre WWII years as the rise of America's other superheroes kicks things into high gear. Earth 4635x actually has Superman going into action about June 1939!  This same year also saw the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_American_Bund">German American Bund</a> gaining in power & this draws the ire of certain patroitic supers. Right underneath everyone's nose something has been stealing bodies from America's small town graveyards! The Tallman has been moving across the midwestern United States! And some second string heroes have emerged from the darkness to battle this menace in their small town! </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcsxueKS-Tx0zFWvABOFh_DxzDlrE8305aFJlXaBIco1EhS_MezH2YepKyjTzmAWkQqYFHlj9etq8F4JfdpNpRF7r3MT058Aifn8MjAIiHwDpBgHMKz1e7iNxCPiaj7gtJScsMvZLDaflUEF7WAo2t20D14X64Ldk0I31z0h-3pMDiCc7x0s6vWmPT/s780/Tall%20Man.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="608" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcsxueKS-Tx0zFWvABOFh_DxzDlrE8305aFJlXaBIco1EhS_MezH2YepKyjTzmAWkQqYFHlj9etq8F4JfdpNpRF7r3MT058Aifn8MjAIiHwDpBgHMKz1e7iNxCPiaj7gtJScsMvZLDaflUEF7WAo2t20D14X64Ldk0I31z0h-3pMDiCc7x0s6vWmPT/w498-h640/Tall%20Man.jpg" width="498" /></a></div><p>Artwork used without permission found in a random Google image search. </p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Alright none of this actually happened but I was on the Marvel Super Heroes RPG: The Unofficial Canon Project Marvel Phile section & noticed that they had covered<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowline_%28Epic_Comics%29"> the Epic Comics Shadowline books! </a> These comic books were Archie Goodwin's babies back in 1988 to 1990.

One of the PC's is a full on super with psionic abilities and there was a subplot in Phantasm II about the Tallman hunting psionics.

Why!? Because of the way that Coldheart Canyon is laid out. This is a completely done location adventure. NPC's are described & motives are laid bare, buildings & locations are completely fleshed out, and the whole package is thrust into the spotlight. And it's only then that we learn what & whom is behind the evil that is infecting Coldheart Canyon. And this is a formula that we've seen in other Red Room products. This isn't a bad thing because of the fact that Coldheart Canyon plugs directly into the Wretched Country rpg make up. </span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD_CSBfhmQmU4-TNwspCF7KN9h3c1TcAIUSoU1RoRzmqcKYmbU0nZpX5ZZkSuTD-VkMQVFrwMAB5d_94oDz0KWeJkVcwkTL_PFauFDPwWI_awJikB0DPhV8A706CkH_2INAoCFhk0kTTStQPNJx6xZP0qMD0CK2oZJR-eLLfW_jykNaooG9a7tpwkH/s636/Wretched%20Country.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="636" data-original-width="411" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD_CSBfhmQmU4-TNwspCF7KN9h3c1TcAIUSoU1RoRzmqcKYmbU0nZpX5ZZkSuTD-VkMQVFrwMAB5d_94oDz0KWeJkVcwkTL_PFauFDPwWI_awJikB0DPhV8A706CkH_2INAoCFhk0kTTStQPNJx6xZP0qMD0CK2oZJR-eLLfW_jykNaooG9a7tpwkH/w414-h640/Wretched%20Country.jpg" width="414" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/414847/Coldheart-Canyon"> "Coldheart Canyon" </a>By S铆lvia Clemente, &  Miguel Ribeiro has the perfect set up for a zombie or weird possessed riot & siege in the style of John Carpenter.

And that's fine actually. The real folks who benefit from a demonic resurrection are actually NPC villains. According to the guidelines; ". The Referee must determine who your character has ‘‘replaced’’. This will generally be a cultist who has offered their soul to the same demon patron who has already completed their ‘‘great work’’, although sometimes it will be a cultist who otherwise offered their soul without such a geas, or perhaps an unfortunate victim of the cult." <br /><br />That's fine but there really needs to be further random tables to determine more random background goodness for the 'resurrected' body. <br /><u><b>Random Demonic Resurrection Complications Table  1d10 </b></u></span></p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><u> </u> The resurrected has a demonic sigil  mark on their body that is impossible to hide pointing to exactly to whom the resurrected soul really belongs to. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">There's a strong odor of the grave that lingers just below the body's normal day to day scent. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The resurrected breath and body temperature is always cold no matter the temperature outside or within a room. Those who talk to the resurrected will see a trail of exhauled breath as if they were talking on a cold day. Their skin & nails are light blue in certain shades of light. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">A slight facial tick every 10 to 15 rounds randomly crawls across the face of the resurrected. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Veins on the back of the resurrected's neck bugle & writh with odd spasms every 1d6 rounds. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">-2 to their Charisma as the palour of the grave gives small children & animals a tremor of the underworld. There is something quite off about the resurrected but others can't quite put their finger on it. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The resurrected's fingers are twisted and bent at unnatural angles add odd times & then suddenly return to normal with a bone shattering twisting sound. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">No one can stare into the eyes of the resurrected without turning away in 1d6 rounds as the spector of the grave hovers in the eye of those who have undergone this unatural rite. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Grass dies under the feet of the resurrected after 2 rounds at sunset. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Holy water burns the flesh lightly of the resurrected only to unnaturally healed within a five to ten minutes. </span></li></ol><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The resurrected soul is perfect as an unkillable NPC burning for revenge & to visit horror upon the players time & again. In a recent LoFP game a couple of months ago I witnessed first hand a PC's magician making a further pact with an NPC's patron to keep the soul within Hell! The DM as the demon actually manipulated said magician into entering Hell to defeat the NPC villain only to not let either soul go! The party decided to leave them both there & move on with the game. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Those who dally with such powers themselves sometimes have a whiff of the brimstone as the party later found out.

And these Fleets of Earth sector books reflect this in spades. The blackness of space really is the deep blackness & the no nonsense approach of this reflects the attitudes of many of the countries of Earth. From the board rooms to the backrooms of taverns of the fleet there's a sense that Earth sector has it's work cut out in spades. </span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">The quality of writing is on point, the layout is well done, and the usual quantity of Independence Games's technical knowhow is on display within </span>"Wendy's Guide to the Fleets of Earth Sector, Volume 4". We get into the 'lesser' fleets such as Italy's as an example; "</span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The Italian Space Navy is a small force with relatively modern and well-maintained ships within its active-duty fleet. Created specifically to protect Italy’s four interstellar colonies the navy has received positive budgetary support from numerous successive governments. However, those naval budgets are still not sufficient to allow for fleet expansion and for the hull replacement program it wishes to undertake. Given that the navy only has four colonies to defend, the stationing of four large system defense monitors is considered by many naval analysts to be somewhat overkill. But for the Italians, that is a perfectly acceptable doctrine for the navy to utilize as like almost all the smaller third tier naval forces, there is more reliance on the use of capable system defense assets rather than more expensive interstellar capable warships. The Italians are very quick to point out that the Littorio, a system defense monitor of the Vittorio Veneto-class, is one of the very few warships to fire its spinal mount in actual combat and successfully destroy its target* and not even the Brazilian Space Navy, who are renowned for their use of monitors, has achieved that level of success. Fleet Organization The Fleet Standard Italian Space Navy doctrine is ensuring a proactive system defense that pushes back against any attackers as they transition into the system via incoming Zimm points (IZP’s). Key to this defensive doctrine is the four 8,000 tonne Vittorio Veneto-class system defense monitors that are stationed in each of the Italian colonies. Supported by the smaller system defense boats, the monitors can engage enemy combatants at long range with their heavy armament. The Interstellar capable warships of the Italian Space Navy fleet are organized into two squadrons based at the main fleet base in Bellezza (Gansu 0108) and the fleet base in Forza (Gansu 0309). Unusually the main shipyard and repair dock for the navy are located in Forza, taking advantage of the increased capabilities of the Class B starport facilities. Designation Shipyard Location Bellezza Squadron No Bellezza (Gansu 0108) Forza Squadron Yes Forza (Gansu 0309)" </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I lay out Italy's fleet because of the fact that it highlight's the level of detail, profiles, & more that we've come to expect within the  "Wendy's Guide to the Fleets of Earth Sector" series of books. It's solidly useful for Cepheus Engine games because it puts the fleets right in line for conflict with each other & what's out in deep space. There isn't anyone coming to help the marines of forces of say Italy out in the blackness. Earth's fleets are the only line of defense for what awaits out in the darkness & this book shows that up.  "Wendy's Guide to the Fleets of Earth Sector, Volume 4" By Michael Johnson For The Clement & Earth Sector Rpg shows the continuing quality & well thoughtout solidness of the Earth sector campaign setting. </span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/414685/Wendys-Guide-to-the-Fleets-of-Earth-Sector-Volume-4?affiliate_id=7330">"Wendy's Guide to the Fleets of Earth Sector, Volume 4" By Michael Johnson For The Clement & Earth Sector Rpg Is Available Here </a></span></b></span></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2022/10/review-commentary-on-wendys-guide-to.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2022/10/review-commentary-on-wendys-guide-to.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2022-10-27T08:39:00-07:00'>8:39 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2022/10/review-commentary-on-wendys-guide-to.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=3685658441930160920&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=3685658441930160920&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=3685658441930160920&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Though many barbarians do farm, they obtain the bulk of their food supply from animals, either livestock, wild game, or both. A population that doesn’t rely on agriculture to feed itself must meet two requirements: The people need a lot of open land in proportion to the population being fed, and the people need to be mobile. Barbarians rarely have cities or towns, merely villages and camps, if they have any permanent settlements at all"</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">And this has me thinking about star faring civilizations & how this same lifestyle could be applied to the stars. Now over the past couple of days I was looking into creating a group of puesdo space marines as a faction. And I needed to do it quickly for an upcoming post apocalytic game. What if the ancient gods decided to take full advantage of the circumstances by creating their own ancient semi divine warriors. Warriors who could take back what was 'rightfully theirs'. So started looking at the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><i> Mesopotamian god </i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anu" style="font-style: italic;">Anu & his incarnations. </a><i> </i>So if we go with the idea of the </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #202122;">Nephilim</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> being powerful semi divine beings & </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anu" style="background-color: white;">Anu & his incarnations</a> being a part of this equation. Then it's easy to see these beings emulating at least in the beginning some of the traits explained in the 'Real Barbarians' article by Katherine Kerr</span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">. What would warriors sent down to a post apopalyptic world look like?! Well that's easy James Mishler did a perfect PC or NPC class to emulate this in the form of <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/146575/DemiGod-Race">the Demi God race. </a></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbz-PzNAMpjeHIRjxVFgQwoSnj0E-n2vCPtAD3v-kITWOVrdxNfc5zDfksRTAXpDAA9n6sK2vOpydPkRG9ygaa3G9jr0rovzmpUm-sVabshc7dpmcVdlUUFmFTtFRBraecgLDtU6Q3i0CUNNYa1OAIOlfSwynWadgLsDIG2QRz4bcjRPk__fTHwYOI/s696/Demi%20god%20cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="696" data-original-width="541" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbz-PzNAMpjeHIRjxVFgQwoSnj0E-n2vCPtAD3v-kITWOVrdxNfc5zDfksRTAXpDAA9n6sK2vOpydPkRG9ygaa3G9jr0rovzmpUm-sVabshc7dpmcVdlUUFmFTtFRBraecgLDtU6Q3i0CUNNYa1OAIOlfSwynWadgLsDIG2QRz4bcjRPk__fTHwYOI/w498-h640/Demi%20god%20cover.jpg" width="498" /></a><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">If these entities follow the barbarian then civilized model within their life cycles then it's possible that they also have singers & shaman among the former galactic empires; "Singers, such as the Celtic bard or German scop, are far more than entertainers. They are the oral historians and guardians of the traditional wisdom lore for their tribes. In their memories, in the form of poetry, are the genealogies of important families, tales of past battles and events, and a kind of lore called gnomic, which is part good advice and part primitive science. Using poetic stanzas, gnomic lore preserves wisdom such as “a faithful wife is better than a fine horse” and “dark clouds, yellow leaves — winter is coming.” Among Low barbarians, each camp or village has its own part-time singer. Among High barbarians and nomads, most singers have a place in a noble lord’s retinue, but some wander from group to group within their tribal territory. Whenever they appear, these wandering singers are fed, sheltered and treated with respect by those they visit." </span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br />The 'gods' are coming back to the post apocalyptic wasteland & their shamans or singers are announcing their coming. They enslave and once again begin the practice of city building among humanity. This is the barest of outlines right at the moment but there's other thoughts thundering their ways through my head right now. The idea here is that these alien semi divine beings go from roaming barbarians, conquer, & then begin building city states for a few million years then move on. They roam the stars using their vat grown  children as conquerors. These are simply some ideas scratched out. </span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'>
