The station is a free floating station in the middle of no where squared. The station is run by aliens & they're really interesting; "GH-34I is run by aliens. Specifically it is run by members of the Talamor Consortium. The Talamor are seemingly friendly race of aliens that love to trade. They have a fierce, lizard like, appearance. Despite their appearance they have not been known to have a violent nature." The Talamor Consortium are an ancient human break off colony that were genetically modified to work and live on a super Earth hundreds of years ago. The Constorium have taken to trading and aggresive pack mentalities when it comes to intergalatic trade. They are an up and coming race who are minor players on the intergalatic trade scene;"The Talamor are encountered all over the known galaxy. They are often found flying small traders and merchant ships. They seem to be welcome just about everywhere they.  Despite their friendly nature, and willingness to trade, they do not seem to be above trying to make a profit. They have often been accused of shortchanging customers or pulling a fast one to make a credit."</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />The GH-341 station features complete tech level 9-13 facilities for ship upgrades, maintence, and dry dock facilities.

The PC's wanted the space hauler upgraded and gone over by personel. <br />Jerry and the psionist decided to 'keep an eye' on the star hauler. The party spoke with Carthan a <a href="http://sorcerersskull.blogspot.com/2013/12/traveller-vokun.html" style="background-color: black; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.3px;">Vokun</a> empire representive who was selling some contraband terrraforming equipment. The psionicist reported that a <a href="http://sorcerersskull.blogspot.com/2013/06/wanderers.html" style="background-color: black; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14.3px;">Wanderer</a> who was in deep orbit wanted to trade navigation information for credits.<br />And here's where the PC's ran into the fact that thier cybersneak detected a contraband cargo being loaded aboard the party's  space hauler by Talamor agents! The PC's confronted the  Talamor representive agent handling thier space hauler and the PC's were brought down too Operations for some face to face time. <br />The PC's noticed the captain of the Eagle! A safari ship traveling through system on it's way to pick up a cargo of exotic alien animals for study. We might be able to pick up some work there. <br />Our party  faked insult over the illicit cargo being placed on ship & they were able to arrange for medical attention for Jerry our cybersneak. Last adventure he'd been lasered in the back and requires extensive cybernetic reconstruction. This is going to require months of rehab and what not.  The cargo run was settled. <br />And we settled on a legit job for the Talamor in exchange for the overhaul. Which we would be inspecting.

Crom's world is deadly and more then a match for several of the knight style super heroes we had last campaign. <br />There are several meet points within Crom and The Otherworld supplement. This folds in nicely for our campaigns and it's going to be matter of deciding how deeply we want to go into the gonzo. </span></span><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/2024/05/osr-commentary-ascendant-rpg_29.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/05/osr-commentary-ascendant-rpg_29.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-05-29T22:24:00-07:00'>10:24 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/05/osr-commentary-ascendant-rpg_29.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=8178247076671328284&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=8178247076671328284&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=8178247076671328284&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Imagine if you will that a party of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons or B/X PC's are whisked to a campaign world only to find out that thier the reincarnations of the heroes of the past. This is exactly what happens to John Daker the protagonist of 'The Eternal Champion'. </span><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111;"><br />The Eternal Champion by Michael Moorcock is the first of his Eternal Champion series and the wiki entry reveals a very interesting detail about it's publication; "</span></i><i style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"><b>The Eternal Champion</b></i><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> is a </span><a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_novel" style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Fantasy novel">fantasy novel</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> by </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moorcock" style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Michael Moorcock">Michael Moorcock</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> that introduces the hero known as both John Daker and </span><a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erekos%C3%AB" style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Erekos毛">Erekos毛</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">. Originally written in the late 1950s, it constitutes the first novel of Moorcock's sprawling Eternal Champion series. The tale was first published in 1962 as a magazine novella </span><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; line-height: 1; text-wrap: nowrap; unicode-bidi: isolate;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eternal_Champion_(novel)#cite_note-1" style="background: none; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;">[1]</a></sup><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> Moorcock expanded the novella to novel length for publication in 1970. He revised the text for its 1978 publication. Along with expanding the original story, the novel makes some minor changes to narration and scenes, and also includes references to other short stories by Moorcock. </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">The Eternal Champion</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> is the first in a trilogy of novels known as the Erekos毛 series (though the lead character adopts other identities in subsequent novels). The sequel novels are </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_in_Obsidian" style="background: none; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Phoenix in Obsidian">Phoenix in Obsidian</a></i><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> (1970; published in the US as </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">The Silver Warriors</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">), and </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dragon_in_the_Sword" style="background: none; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="The Dragon in the Sword">The Dragon in the Sword</a></i><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> (1987)." The revised text of 'The Eternal Champion' brings this series of novels into line with Moorcock's Elric line. John Daker realizes that he is an aspect of the Eternal Champion; "</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">Daker realizes he is the reincarnation of the warrior Erekos毛 and is now being called to assume that identity again by the people he once served. Daker also sees memories of other lives he's lived or will live and realizes he is one of many incarnations of the Eternal Champion, a key figure in the mythology of Michael Moorcock's</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> </span><a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse_(Moorcock)" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Multiverse (Moorcock)">multiverse</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">. The Eternal Champion is often called to restore or maintain the multiverse's balance between the cosmic forces of Law and Chaos. With his memories of Daker's life and family quickly dimming, the warrior accepts his identity as Erekos毛, and armed with a radioactive sword called Kanajana, joins a great war between humans and an alien race, the Eldren. Throughout the novel, he is skeptical about the just nature of the war he fights and feels conflicted about his duty to humanity in contrast to his duty as an Eternal Champion who may need to defy humanity. He is also occasionally tormented by the lingering memories and principles of his 20th century life, as well as glimpses of his other lives under a multiplicity of names."<br />The Eternal Champion is written in a Moorcock Pulp style & is a very questional book because Moorcock wrote it when he was seventeen. Many of his attitudes are reflected in the book throughout especially when it comes to the Eldren vs the Colonial attitudes of the book's version of  humanity. <br /><br /></span></span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #202122;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyBC8vd5VdWqGz5fam3UOz63E8fptC6iI0RBrpro2z4rc97gNWGKQB-hTIPV-79Q0fM7f0aMwQGd6-FPv4TKcPPMRunD1Fce-MfbuE7ymY4X-8C5Df4fsi4wyhT0n3aPClbw_3EGFC5D9leBzW9_cLGQtoE8ICGDT3zNEYdnp4wBqIs0VJ7GxbAKqmnbk/s380/Mayflower.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="380" data-original-width="237" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyBC8vd5VdWqGz5fam3UOz63E8fptC6iI0RBrpro2z4rc97gNWGKQB-hTIPV-79Q0fM7f0aMwQGd6-FPv4TKcPPMRunD1Fce-MfbuE7ymY4X-8C5Df4fsi4wyhT0n3aPClbw_3EGFC5D9leBzW9_cLGQtoE8ICGDT3zNEYdnp4wBqIs0VJ7GxbAKqmnbk/w400-h640/Mayflower.webp" width="400" /></a></div> is<br />The Eternal Champion By Michael Moorcock<br /> </span><span style="background-color: #f3f5f6; color: #212124;">Cover art by Bob Haberfield.

Daker/Erekos毛 stands apart by being able to remember aspects of his multiple lives. While his books were not as popular as those featuring some of Moorcock's other characters, Erekos毛 is frequently mentioned in other stories of the author's multiverse. Along with his own novels, the character has appeared in crossover stories involving other Eternal Champion incarnations. His radioactive, poisonous sword echoes the vampiric, living sword <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormbringer" style="background: none; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Stormbringer">Stormbringer</a> wielded by the other aspect of the Eternal Champion called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elric_of_Melnibon%C3%A9" style="background: none; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Elric of Melnibon茅">Elric</a>." <br />Daker/Erekos毛 stands apart from other versions of the Eternal Champion because the forces of the Balance keep him from his lovely Eldren. Could PC's encounter Daker as Erekos毛?! Without a doubt! The book emplies that he's had many,many, adventures against both Law and Chaos throughout his multiple lives. Erekos毛 is tormented by his memories as Elric, Hawkmoon, etc. According to the Wiki entry Daker is tightly woven into the Eternal Champion incarnation; " Daker's trip through time and space reveals scattered memories from many other incarnations, such as Erekos毛 and Michael Moorcock's other characters such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elric_of_Melnibon%C3%A9" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Elric of Melnibon茅">Elric</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corum_Jhaelen_Irsei" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Corum Jhaelen Irsei">Prince Corum</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorian_Hawkmoon" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Dorian Hawkmoon">Dorian Hawkmoon</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Cornelius" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Jerry Cornelius">Jerry Cornelius</a>, the Rose, and members of the family Von Bek."

And it was innovative for it's time during the 1970's. What does it mean for old school gaming?! Well, it means that PC's could run across  Erekos毛 and his deadly radioactive demon sword. <br />Our party of adventurers ran across him during one of our encounters with Karl Edgar Wagner's Kane. Kane was selling a piece of information to the Daker personality &  Erekos毛 was paying for it with a quest for an artifact. Our party of adventurers got drafted to accompany him into the dungeon. Given  Erekos毛's passion for depression and violence. We ditched him after the end of the dungeon! We skipped the pay and the world only to run into Kane back in Greyhawk.. We ended up working for Kane because of the <br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">Erekos毛 affair!</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;

The campaign focuses heavily on the pirate & sailor aspects of the Hyperborean setting. There are ton of changes to the U series of modules for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons starting with the organization that the pirates belong to and working it's way down from there. Here's some of the changes: <br /></span><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The Alchemist isn't dead and rotting in the 'haunted house' instead he's a high level lich running his criminal empire from the house. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The pirates are a part of the Slavers of the 'A0 -A4 Against The Slavers' series of classic novels. The Slavers are a dimensional spanning organization that ranges from Greyhawk to Hyperborea. This council of slavers is simply the latest incarnation of the council.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The pirates employ local Viking and other raiders to take on raids for them. <br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The 'haunted house' is located in Butcher's Bey with Saltmarsh itself being a smaller subset of the Bey. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The pirates are most active during the Summer months and they have ties to the Ixians of Hyperborea who supply the pirates with most of thier magical muscle. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Hyperborean alchemy plays a big part of DM Paul's campaign. </span></li></ol><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Yes, I know there's a <a href="http://kck.st/3JZgy7M">Hyperborea rpg Kickstarer on</a> but this ties deeply into the Ixians agenda in Hyperborea. The Ixians trade in magical expertise and forbidden magical devices. The Ixians deal heavily in alchemy & work to expand thier influence among the Hyperborean ruling elite. This is because the Ixians  trade in items, magical favors, advisory positions and expertise. This has enabled these enigma peoples to be secreted in almost every high profile royal courts in Hyperborea. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The Ixians use the pirates for clandestine missions that they pay and sometimes oversee through thier cat's paws. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The Ixians are playing a dangerous game and have been using the pirates to seed a war between the humans & the Deep Ones.This war is being orastraded on the Deep Ones behalf.  This war is actually over the strange radioactive green crystals that the Deep Ones mine. The village of Saltmarsh sits on a depoisit of these crystals. And by returning the village lands to the sea the Deep Ones gain access. <br />What do the Ixians gain out of it?! Several loads of Green radioactive crystals that are then used to grow Green or Greenite Lotus. A dose of this lotus enables one to endure without harm the sanity blasting radiation of the Boreas winds within Sarnath temporarily. The Greenite lotus must begrown on the decaying hills of the corpses of ancient wizards bathed in the radioactive green crystals weird radiations. A dose of Greenite Lotus enables the user to endure the sanity blasting boreas winds for one day per dose. But the imbuer must make a poison vs save or the poor wretch takes a lethal dose of radiation poisoning. Thier veins and skin begin to bleed out green glowing ichor. There are several ancient artifacts lost in the sands of Sarnath that the Ixians would like to recover </span></div><p></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;

This spirit degenerated into an Earth bound demonic form that takes the shape of a hulking muscle bound mortal bound in a bright glowing purple spandex like costume & bright green floating skull. Today the  monster is now a psychotic demon of fear bound in mortal form. <br />Nighterror is drawn to places of mayhem, violence, & fear! These are the thing the horror feeds off of. Immune to most conventional mortal  weapons & harm the creature uses massive superstrength to cause as much destruction and loss of life that it can. This demons powers are dependant upon terror & fear. It also has limited abilities of illusion, confusion, and domination. <br />It's true form is that of a screaming, burning ball of fire, & noise. This form is often used to sew confusion among it's enemies and to travel about. Nighterror's second form of the spandex costumed muscle man is used to stalk it's victims and gut them. It then terrorizes thier friends, family, and blood relations with insults, taunts, and violence. <br />Since the Nighterror is an Earthbound demon the creature has a physical form that can be vanquished. Priests or clerics can turn the horror as if it was a spectre. Five times per day the Nighterror can cast fear as per the ritual instanteously. Twice per day the Nighterror can cause confusion as per the ritual as well. <br />Since the Nighterror is an earthbound demon the horror can easily shift it's form from male to female sew even more confusion.<br /><br />Nighterror<br /></span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Code Name:Nighterror .

And it starts off with some words of wisdom from RpgPundit about this book. Because The Cha'alt Experience ( yes, this is how I shall be referring to it) takes in many of Venger Satanis's writing and designing process then runs you through it step by step. This is all done in wit and wisdom of Venger Satanis. <br />Say what you want but in 'The Cha'alt Experience' Venger does know what he's talking about. He shows you from the ground up how not only to design a campaign setting but an rpg world setting from the ground up. 'The Cha'alt Experience' really compliments the three Cha'alt volumes in a way as both a 'behind the curtain' and solid guide to campaign creation. <br />Is 'The Cha'alt Experience' any good?! If you've experienced any of Venger Satanis's other Cha'alt books then I'd say a hardy,yes! This supplement really goes hand to tentacle deeply into Venger's philosphy and writing style that the reader can take or leave. <br />'The Cha'alt Experience' plays right into the guidelines laid down in <a href="https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/386280/Chaalt-Chartreuse-Shadows?src=hottest_filtered">Cha'alt: Chartreuse Shadows</a> and this makes this supplement both a companion and supplement.  We also see this within the adventure included with 'The Cha'alt Experience'. <br /></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEinmcToMQSXvhWFoP7mWgplndpa-5EdFqIukS6wcMWfLzJkl7WdlSLAeAiOLgimQnl9H5FIsWYDv8e1D41JXVscFlobQZUl7w8n-xl89om8Dq8twHMGy7SvnTiVwUCg2kwrxDsd6l0l86y_LBw97qGxnMOZ27n-f1-mrUFO2F_dmhmzR8m35mVJP-EB6ws" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1048" data-original-width="810" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEinmcToMQSXvhWFoP7mWgplndpa-5EdFqIukS6wcMWfLzJkl7WdlSLAeAiOLgimQnl9H5FIsWYDv8e1D41JXVscFlobQZUl7w8n-xl89om8Dq8twHMGy7SvnTiVwUCg2kwrxDsd6l0l86y_LBw97qGxnMOZ27n-f1-mrUFO2F_dmhmzR8m35mVJP-EB6ws=w493-h640" width="493" /></a><br /><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333;">And this is taken up with 'The Blind Monks of Perrshaar' the adventure that Venger ran at GaryCon this past year. 'The Cha'alt Experience' takes on the gonzo and cultastic rpg elements that Venger likes to use so much. And then breaks them down bit by bit for the DM or player to use at thier leasure.  Because of many of the gonzo and design wisdom found in 'The Cha'alt Experience' makes it completely 'rpg system agnoistic'. </span></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333;">Is 'The Cha'alt Experience' worth the twenty dollar price tag?! That's another story, in my opinion because of the artwork and such. It costs alot to put together an rpg supplement today. Personally for my wallet, I'd wait until Venger has one of his killer sales before getting the 'Cha'alt Experience' <br />Is the 'Cha'alt Experience' worth getting?! Yes if your looking for some solid advice on gettting into the deep end of gonzo and cultastic role playing then definitely! </span></span><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/2024/05/osr-review-commentary-on-chaalt.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/05/osr-review-commentary-on-chaalt.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-05-19T09:01:00-07:00'>9:01 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/05/osr-review-commentary-on-chaalt.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=8077951830684848549&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=8077951830684848549&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=8077951830684848549&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

What they weren't expecting was to go toe to toe with a mid level hired Ascendant thug called Bodyslaim  from the Cartels! This was a bit of a shlog for the party. They needed to work as a team because the mercenary Bodyslaim made short work of the team's two bricks. He literally brought two brick walls down on them. He both super strength, regeneration, and sonic powers! <br />This attack came right on the heels of the party finding a vital clue and DNA evidence too the lair of Pokerface. <br />The player's eventually dropped a car on Bodyslaim! And then before his regeneration could kick in called for backup from Dreadnaught Security to have him arrested. Dreadnaught sent in a clean up crew to take the mercenary in. <br />The party then had the evidence gone over by thier own scientist Foxglove in Dreadnaught's crime labs. This is where I used the Ascendant Rogues Gallery for some of the background Dreadnaught Securities NPC's! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgLx8o6yowMhh3mlTPGG3kjwg3VengqpuaGikiuXyBXWuiaihHuCj4-unKXJOWS51WIlX4Z4i4OoI8Q8WWln08mfgWTnZqPHmHyYvY83OHmgXZ4KQsEeKYexwjex6GPOY6v6845ot-pYeF-WxaVRx9cyjahJZJpQImO8IOwfcwBVqdABfUpALXucktOeC8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="639" data-original-width="493" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgLx8o6yowMhh3mlTPGG3kjwg3VengqpuaGikiuXyBXWuiaihHuCj4-unKXJOWS51WIlX4Z4i4OoI8Q8WWln08mfgWTnZqPHmHyYvY83OHmgXZ4KQsEeKYexwjex6GPOY6v6845ot-pYeF-WxaVRx9cyjahJZJpQImO8IOwfcwBVqdABfUpALXucktOeC8=w493-h640" width="493" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /> And the material is from Bluddville's meat packing plant neighborhoods. This is bad news. <br />The party went toe to toe with the rest of the Fifty there last year while busting up one of Pokerface's dog fighting gambling and number's rackets! The party is also going to be crossing into one of thier villainous NPC mob bosses 'The Everyman'. A literal master of disguise who rules the meatpacking district with an iron fist! The party will have to arrange a meeting with the 'Everyman' to discuss terms! </span><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/2024/05/osr-commentary-ascendant-rpg-session_16.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/05/osr-commentary-ascendant-rpg-session_16.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-05-16T22:55:00-07:00'>10:55 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/05/osr-commentary-ascendant-rpg-session_16.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=1386533440756910696&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=1386533440756910696&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=1386533440756910696&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Before we could blink we were surround by men. <br />And then we were surrounded by city guards! 'State your purpose & business within the kingdom of old Tasuun?!' Our mind master quickly stated, 'We are mercenaries and fighting men of forgein lands seeking employment, sire. " <br />'You will find plenty of employment here sir. Quickly come in the Old Gate'. And we quickly brought before the master of arms of the Old City of Tasuun and brought onto the payroll.' <br />Next week we find out our mission </span></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white;

Silvia Clemente of Red Room fame once again proves herself as a good OSR writer/designer with an out and out dungeon romp taking place in an underground lab on Cha'alt. <br />And things have gone down hill at the old Dha’arma Initiative laboratory. The whole facility has gone to the undead and it shows! There's monsters running all over this facility and causing all kinds of mayhem. The lab is a veritable maze with the facility filled to the brim with traps and tricks. Clearing this place isn't going to be easy at all. The writing is well done, the facility is dangerous, the layout is very well done, and the font is easily readable. <br /><a href="file:///C:/Users/erict/Downloads/From-The-Beyond-PDF-v2-i7tsuz.pdf">'From The Beyond'</a> could give even the most jaded Cha'alt veteran adventurers a work out as they try to figure out what's happened at the facility. Or this adventure could be used as an introduction adventure for a group of Wretched New Flesh second edition operatives or agents to figure out what's happened to the 'From The Beyond' facility. <br />I don't want to spoilt the adventure but 'From The Beyond' is a five session or less adventure with lots of twists and turns! This adventure ties the PC's into a possible gut punch for all of Cha'alt. <br /></span><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;">'From The Beyond' could easily be tied into the </span><span style="font-size: medium;">Book 3 of the Cha'alt trilogy's campaign events.

In a word, yes because of the fact that it can easily be adapted into your favorite OSR rpg or as a jump off point for an entire campaign centered on Cha'alt. This is an adventure that has legs.

The party wanted to know whom the Guironians were dealing with for thier medical supplies and the fish like humanoids telepathically told them. It was thier old friends the <a href="http://sorcerersskull.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-slavers.html">Slavers</a> Consortium. Needless to say that the players were not amused by this because in the past the Slavers have been less then honest with the PC's. <br />There has been some highly questionable cloning going on for several centuries on Guiron. The robbery of the hover train is cover the debt owed to the Slavers by the people of Guiron. <br />The Slavers are trying to decide if the PC's are going to live or become slaves to be sold on the open market. The party didn't wait to find out thier decision and blasted thier way out. <br />They contacted  Major Bartholomew Rodriguez & of course the Slavers Consortium made it look like the party had tried to highjack thier operations. The Interstellar Police arrived to inform the Slavers Consortium that they don't have the proper paperwork to operate within the  Guiron system. <br />Behind closed doors the Interstellar Police also want the money back that the pirates cartel working for the Guironians stole. The party in the meantime wants out at this point and through several strings that Major Bartholomew Rodriguez pulled they were able to get out almost scott free. Except for the fact that the Slavers are pissed at them for interferring in  a major operation.  And the fact that the Slavers will foreclose on Guiron in the next few months. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEik32dRKCDKuau6W75VkFo_qEXCY_eAH3XDP17i_9j-eY7Wu6iEeN-yrHQm2Y-cCQGY1rtLHhfK3xH-BG-jnU9fXPLLsqFnTGCw4uZ_P68KnL5V2KSDsYiaTBGf6kFcmko9Rf4LEyc_NBJAdhCkuwT4vyxuEEEHWQeGfXY5U1FNdhI3wDSjexyKK2cjveg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="462" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEik32dRKCDKuau6W75VkFo_qEXCY_eAH3XDP17i_9j-eY7Wu6iEeN-yrHQm2Y-cCQGY1rtLHhfK3xH-BG-jnU9fXPLLsqFnTGCw4uZ_P68KnL5V2KSDsYiaTBGf6kFcmko9Rf4LEyc_NBJAdhCkuwT4vyxuEEEHWQeGfXY5U1FNdhI3wDSjexyKK2cjveg=w461-h640" width="461" /></a><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The party's fixer decided to get involved and now the party must find a major artifact that has significance to the Slavers to avoid the foreclosure order!

Dirty Wars dives below the surface of the dirty world of corporate armies. The first part of Dirty Wars goes into PC creation, career events, and career rotation for mercenary character creation. <br />The author does an excellent job of creating no nonsense, grounded PC's without diving into action movie cliches. Dirty Jobs takes the worry out of PC creation with easy and straight forward creation in the world of Hostile. And in the world of Hostile there are literally plenty of opportunities for a mercenary campaign according to the intro; "Private military contractors in 2225 have many opportunities for employment, not just amongst the crisis zones and battlefields of a crumbling Earth, but on the off-world colonies that orbit remote stars. The long, icy tendrils of the corporate interstellar supply lines must be protected from saboteurs, fractious colonies, economic collapse and jealous colonial authorities. Do you want a piece of the action? If you have the relevant experience and clean rap sheet, then sign up!" So Dirty Wars this gives the impression of the deep & dangerous corporate warfare world of Hostile. And it's a really good overview in Dirty Wars. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi2Z_rmsWXDWfrkcU9BpxOkj0-S7Ie5SBqGzfFCVuqCdhI-dd2MgFa4t6AycTeGRNk4-OxOCIlhuAOCfb4_pTyi6F85tfx1wjUaofcqjqrbFJsxrACD-Wk9E2W-oOle_ORWhIlJQOYYGfBn4VR_bpRuReyJos6qiRLPF7Jnhf63dheApOQrJPztLoCJyrc" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1273" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi2Z_rmsWXDWfrkcU9BpxOkj0-S7Ie5SBqGzfFCVuqCdhI-dd2MgFa4t6AycTeGRNk4-OxOCIlhuAOCfb4_pTyi6F85tfx1wjUaofcqjqrbFJsxrACD-Wk9E2W-oOle_ORWhIlJQOYYGfBn4VR_bpRuReyJos6qiRLPF7Jnhf63dheApOQrJPztLoCJyrc=w453-h640" width="453" /></a> <br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hostile's big time corporate warfare players next from Amadeus Group to Vigo's Combat Specialists. Then we get the payers & client list which are a group of mega corporation that PC's really don't want to cross in the  world of Hostile. <br />And then we get into contract work and taking a job. The DM actually gets mission & adventure types with set up, victory conditions, and exacution. This is done for the DM with style. <br />Then we get into the down and dirty of creating a PMC which covers;"a Record of 10 or 20, which serves as a measure of their professionalism, efficiency and reliability, important factors in attracting investment." again this is a well done compliment to the system.  <br />Then the 'Gear & Rules' section which gives us new weaponry, gear, and more for our PMC. And there's some neat little bits and pieces here for a party. Then we dive into vehicles for the player's PC's. <br />Finally, we get a 'Creating The Enemy' section which is a small tool box for creating oppostion forces from elites to common foes. This sesction has a small selection of great NPC's ready to take down your PMC. And then we get a nice 'Mission Randomiser' generator for creating missions and adventures on the fly. Even deeper into Dirty Wars we get a Warzone Encounters which is a tool box for on the fly encounters. <br />We then dive into the Dirty Wars section  of Hostile a cross section of Earth, and beyond warzones where your PMC can shine! Note that Dirty Wars is a lethal and highly dangerous universe where your a bullet away from a new PC. Dirty Wars continues this tradition. <br />Given the over all sheen of Dirty Wars, I've got to say that I continue to be impressed with the quality of writing, the design ethos, the layout, and solid vision of Dirty Wars & Hostile. Dirty Wars is an excellent fit for  the universe of Hostile. The overall package of Dirty Wars is absolutely consisent with the world of Hostile. </div><br /></span> <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/2024/05/review-osr-commentary-on-dirty-wars.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/05/review-osr-commentary-on-dirty-wars.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-05-09T11:10:00-07:00'>11:10 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/05/review-osr-commentary-on-dirty-wars.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=44472324364663474&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=44472324364663474&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=44472324364663474&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Ariel Sector is the sector to coreward (or “above” if you are looking at a Zimm map) of Clement Sector.

Largely unexplored and almost totally unsettled, Ariel Sector is home to only a handful of established settlements."<br /><br />" Of course, this doesn’t mean that the sector is unpopulated. It just means that there are settlements which aren’t widely known and places that a person can go to “get lost”, something that is much harder to do in Clement Sector. Indeed, it is for that reason that a lot of people came to Clement Sector in the first place and now, as the core subsectors of Hub, Franklin, Cascadia, and Sequoyah become more settled, many find it necessary to go further afield and get further away from civilization.

The Ariel sector is the type of sector that sits between civilization and outright interstellar frontier. <br /><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHgVJJKDCbcHZkzoLzMI2bm23iE8anSqt63NqXUZlChwFnOHSSeHlabUBID8-X8DnV1VUOWVKvUjwVkVxhrLewv1ivfODzSYPaPy9ZV2L08sN9gpzoiv1HWZ-T-ioOwvRtuMKBVwE9rfYpzcAC92Db3NuhXycrPsvzFey4rnidudc6uARde3ThEFcmN04/s1194/Clement%20Sector%20cover.png" 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="1194" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHgVJJKDCbcHZkzoLzMI2bm23iE8anSqt63NqXUZlChwFnOHSSeHlabUBID8-X8DnV1VUOWVKvUjwVkVxhrLewv1ivfODzSYPaPy9ZV2L08sN9gpzoiv1HWZ-T-ioOwvRtuMKBVwE9rfYpzcAC92Db3NuhXycrPsvzFey4rnidudc6uARde3ThEFcmN04/s320/Clement%20Sector%20cover.png" width="241" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> The Ariel sector is a wild place where the waldl盲ufers, colonists, and deep explorer rub elbows. The Ariel sector even boasts honest to God gunslingers. There are rules of conduct and more. <br />The sector is perfect for the explorer, prospector, or thrill seeker and others attracted by the wild feel of it. And those who feed on them. <br />Focusing on the Ariel sector, there are legends, details, worlds, and more. The Dark Lonesome focuses highly on the details of the sector while laying down an actual usable sourcebook. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The Clement sector feels like more then a usuable campaign but a real place. John Watts's breath's life into his sector campaign. The Ariel sector  feels like a real place. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Dark Lonesome:  The Ariel Sector Sourcebook By John Watts is a solidly constructed sourcebook for the Clement sector rpg. The sourcebook is well edited, well done, and has some terrific artwork. What this sourcebook does is push the edges of the interstellar Clement sector map & really ramps up the dangers of the Clement sector. Between the space pirates, the interstellar <span style="background-color: white; color: #212529; font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;">phenomena</span> , & the powers that be there. There's also lots of opportunity for interstellar spacers & explorers. The Ariel sector perfectly set up for a humanity that is at the far end of the galaxy cut off from humanity. This encapsulates the power of this sourcebook. All of the good bits here are perfect for a 2d6 Clement sector campaign with details to spare. <br /> Clocking in at 190 pages Dark Lonesome:  The Ariel Sector Sourcebook By John Watts is wall to wall useful information on a point in the Clement sector that is unto itself a complete compaign. This is a well done and well thought out campaign sector sourcebook and a great add on! </span></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line
