Then, about three years ago, the Greely lobstermen severed all ties with outside partners. Subsequent attempts at renegotiation were shunned. More recently, a small group of Fishmongers’ Guild representatives from the City-State of Khromarium has gone missing in Port Greely, and answers have been less than forthcoming. At present, the guild seeks answers. They want to know what became of their representatives, and they wish to reestablish their lucrative partnership with the Port Greely lobstermen. Your party has been contracted to help resolve the mystery at Port Greely." </i><br />This interior art piece brings home the ideas and weird bits of AS&SH in spades. So I can't wait see what Port Greely brings to the table.<br /><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwTTicXetwL2chx-i9PyQ4U7NQhyphenhyphenPBzqCBgp3haHClMMwPvH3gwhEYv0Ij1ymFNQtq8hkv5-4TzSvoEzVzTJszJbXv38yviMq2dJB717wH1l1HpMBDdB1swysi9Bc30ailHqiz0iWTLR0/s640/interior+artwork.jpg" width="502" /></span></span></div> </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/2016/05/new-update-for-mystery-at-port-greely.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2016/05/new-update-for-mystery-at-port-greely.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2016-05-31T17:28:00-07:00'>5:28 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2016/05/new-update-for-mystery-at-port-greely.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=5502395854863031532&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=5502395854863031532&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=5502395854863031532&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Its one of the most underrated wilderness and rural countryside beasts. A perfect horror to send up against smaller parties of adventurers and a mostly forgotten horror from the early edition era of Dungeons and Dragons. <br />"The ahnkheg was created by artist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erol_Otus" title="Erol Otus">Erol Otus</a> and first appeared in <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_%28magazine%29" title="Dragon (magazine)">Dragon</a></i> magazine in 1977. " <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erol_Otus" title="Erol Otus">"Erol Otus</a> originally named the creature the "anhkheg" and submitted the first artwork and writeup of it prior to joining TSR.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankheg#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup> This first version appeared in the "Creature Features" column in <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_%28magazine%29" title="Dragon (magazine)">Dragon</a></i> #5 (March 1977)." <br />They remain one of my all time favorite monsters to spring on parties of adventurers inside civilized areas where players think that no monsters will ever bother the local farmers and peasants. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_SMlu9RgtXoAlos__CJnUURRpg1G5yXAHqap7hW3jDREQiAyA6wd5TYiwr6BsDOJUrGi4zCDqCsAlLUZyVbULIrLcngJDH3oWet56Ot7b_9YfjGzxTigJv-CWv-gJPhkx7un-4jWKQAQ/s1600/otus-dragon-5-1976.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_SMlu9RgtXoAlos__CJnUURRpg1G5yXAHqap7hW3jDREQiAyA6wd5TYiwr6BsDOJUrGi4zCDqCsAlLUZyVbULIrLcngJDH3oWet56Ot7b_9YfjGzxTigJv-CWv-gJPhkx7un-4jWKQAQ/s400/otus-dragon-5-1976.jpg" width="307" /></a><br />They're description in the AD&D first edition Monster Manual gives the dungeon master everything they need to seed a nest of these insectile horrors into a mini adventure encounter;"An ankheg is described as having six legs and a many-segmented body, all covered in a brown (some closer to yellow) chitinous <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoskeleton" title="Exoskeleton">exoskeleton</a>. The head has black <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_eye" title="Compound eye">compound eyes</a>, mandibles capable of snapping small trees, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_%28biology%29" title="Antenna (biology)">antennae</a>. Usually, ankhegs do not create tunnels, and simply burrow down into the ground. However, they are able to make tunnels if they dig slowly. When seriously pressed, it can spit acid. Spitting acid is usually a last resort, as it cannot digest food for several hours afterwards. Ankhegs are around 10 feet long and weigh 800 lb" <br />These things click all of the right buttons for me as a dungeon master they're close to the 50's and 60's B science fiction monster movie menaces, they're great mid tier horrors and they're perfect for highlighting the fact that a wizard may have been playing with the local ecology in the remote past of the campaign world. They also make excellent cross over monsters for post apocalyptic game adventures and can cause a group of adventurers some real hurt. <br /><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVSu_KWtORPjlXIOalRszPfUSRj1kXQ6zJegSVjUInmvPKJoKXq0C8OUV_Yg4MRv4SZYQJLgIB8vVJRfnKr6fag6sLV78OJbybHEE_tPpOZZynusR2lWI8J5V9aX4nuY-tncDGQpaUzo/s400/Ankheg+by+Dave+Trampier%252C+from+the+AD%2526D+Dungeon+Masters+Guide%252C+TSR%252C+1979.jpg" width="400" /><br />A swarm of ankheg make excellent low level sword and sorcery menaces and can make a good alien menace that up points the weirdness of a planet or setting.

A while ago, his blog featured an article about spirits bound into bookplates, including 20 inspirational examples.

Like many other Lamentations of the Flame Princess products this is not simply another adventure; here's the thing about Lamentations products on the surface they can appear to be simple adventures when in fact there is a bit more meat on the beast's bones. In this case it's a bloody and quite complex beast of an adventure with the PC's taking part in the back scenes of the events of history & legend. Barry Blatt does an exceptional job created a campaign kit as well as an adventure based around the events of the English Civil War. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Because this is a Lamentations product the political & religions factions of history are tackled head on. These powers and factions are central to the plot of England Up Turn'd as are the supernatural and occult elements of the adventure. This adventure takes the events of history and twists them through the lens of the Lamentations system in such a way as to be both workable and unique in its approaches to the events of history. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">According to the author; "While the Civil War changed little in itself, it</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">marked out the issues that the Glorious Revolution of 1688 eventually resolved. The waves</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">of emigration immediately preceding, during, and after it exported those same issues to the</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">American colonies, which had a few rebellions and riots of their own at this time. Lamentations of the Flame Princess does the Early Modern period well enough already, but in the appendices you will find optional setting specific rules to give an English Civil War game a bit more flavour should the Referee</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">wish to expand on this adventure and run a full blown Civil War campaign. Needless to say the author is not a historian and various small liberties have been taken</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">with the facts in the interests of fun and not boring the arse off’ the reader with too much</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">tedious historical exposition. This adventure features real locations in Lincolnshire and refers to real people alive at the time; my fictional depictions are just that - fictional, no offense is meant, and hopefully none will</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">be taken. This adventure owes an obvious debt to the film A Field in England directed by Ben Wheatley, what with the alchemy, the buried treasure, mud, and hallucinogenic ending. If you haven’t seen it, do so."</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhahAdnfAXsCoQ6qEcVOmLpJvc8s3T9jdQ9XNdWvX3aEdXLzqtekRd5QtuH8RT0OaQcf1WAjbIJOUtc3rRh4ffnzhLWMKJzAA3D_YD6P5udugbXSRXfO6yHE_Az2CjP9GR6NWPUgrO7YPc/s400/Battle_of_Marston_Moor%252C_1644.png" width="400" /></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When it comes to the material the author borrows heavily from history and pop culture while giving the whole affair a Gothic horror and occult spin.A spin that could have the PC ending up in one of the many mass graves scattered across the sea of history of England Upturn'd. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The material pulls deeply from the alternative occult legends and mythologies of England whist vexing the PC's deep into the plot it does indeed remind me of the film "A Field In England".</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> </div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cRRvzjkzu2U" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /> Much of the material is both real world and alternative roles in history of the PC's in the adventure set against the events of the English Civil War and it does it very well. The adventure takes great advantage of the usual tropes of OD&D's magic system and spins them into a different occult direction to great effect. But is it worth the download? </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well yes it is and in fact its a damn fine product and here are some of the reasons why : </span><br /> <ul> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The England Upturn'd product is a major turning point for the Lamentations line in my opinion it lays out a sprawling LoFP campaign option for the DM. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are literally several adventures tucked into one book Russian doll style. The adventures are linked via the plot line and have a thread of adventure, blood shed, & politics running through them. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These are quite nicely the age of rebellion in English history with the War of the Roses being a close second in terms of adventure opportunity for a Lamentations style game. </span></li> <li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The occult is quite central to the adventures and much of the material revolves around the axis of the first half of the English Civil War. There are plot and adventure hooks that are scattered throughout the text to move things towards the next end of history. </span></li> </ul> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Magical treasures and occult items in England Upturn'd are very in keeping with the times and circumstances of the history of the era. An example of this are as follows; Crocodile boots—made in Amsterdam by a<br />cobbler with access to exotic Egyptian wares, these fashionable riding boots grant +1 Armour,<br />and once a day can be commanded with the words ‘Ik denk dat ik moet vertrekken’ (‘I<br />think I should leave’ in Dutch), to allow the wearer to walk on water for a minute." Its all of the little touches that add up to creating a veneer of weirdness and pulpy strangeness in England Upturn'd that makes this adventure campaign so damn fun to read. It also makes me want to run this adventure and this is the book where factions, weirdness, and history all collide in a more then dangerous mix of the supernatural and adventure. Parties of adventurers are going to hard pressed to not get dragged into the politic of the history of England Upturn'd. <br /><br /><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIRSrR26fstE4J_hE-0AHKCvZSlI0HlcNV3HCzDBRurY-7QyYnGHwqqOGub6Oubgrodm2F7hC09BZajUM4Xq6MIDnJ12s8xWP_wjsC8RG2RS8NUK47oH6_UDFuIRJntaBL0r31xhJH8_8/s400/800px-Oliver_Cromwell_by_Samuel_Cooper.jpg" width="328" /></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Cromwell" title="Oliver Cromwell">Oliver Cromwell</a><br /><br />Note that even though England Up Turn'd is steeped in real world history the myths, legends, and mythologies of England the classic literature of Europe is in evidence throughout the adventure source book. I'm sure that some folks might compare England Upturn'd to Dark Albion because of the historical aspects of these product but they are very different animals. England Upturn'd is set in the real world history of the English Civil War with fantastical and occult elements thrown in. Whist Dark Albion takes a much different approach by creating an entire world setting around its own version of the historical events of the War of The Roses even though that book follows the War's events exactly. <br />England Upturn'd is a party's chance to make their own mark within the campaign world and make it well if they are very lucky and play their cards right. There are lots of opportunities for the forces in this book to quite nicely kill off a party. Between the moments of violence and horrors of the events of England Upturn'd there is a solidly done book with lots of well written bits that will keep a party busy for months and months of play. <br /><br />Do I think its worth your time and money? In a word yes in spades, this a well written and dangerously devilish designed & will provide a well set piece of weird horror adventure for both Lamentations of the Flame Princess DM's and players. Five out of five for England Upturn'd. <br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The law locks up the man or woman<br />Who steals the goose off the common<br />But leaves the greater villain loose<br />Who steals the common from the goose.</span></div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The law demands that we atone<br />When we take things we do not own<br />But leaves the lords and ladies fine<br />Who takes things that are yours and mine.<br />The poor and wretched don’t escape<br />If they conspire the law to break;<br />This must be so but they endure<br />Those who conspire to make the law.</span></div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The law locks up the man or woman<br />Who steals the goose from off the common<br />And geese will still a common lack<br />Till they go and steal it back.</span></div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">‘Protest Ballad, Anon. circa 1635’</span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> </div> </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/2016/05/review-commentary-on-england-upturnd-by.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2016/05/review-commentary-on-england-upturnd-by.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2016-05-27T17:48:00-07:00'>5:48 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2016/05/review-commentary-on-england-upturnd-by.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=7319782033232748186&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=7319782033232748186&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=7319782033232748186&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");
