Ephesos

Or so he says. ...another interesting post, and I can't exactly disagree with him, after years of working with Blades. Which honestly is as much about reusing assets as anything else. Discuss.

REMINDERS!!! Next Selos session: THIS FRIDAY, April 23rd, 6pm CST Next Blood Marsh session: Friday April 30th, 6pm CST Be there, as we hurtle towards the conclusions of these campaigns!

French kept giving stray "c'"s, Russian kept giving untranslatable words in brackets, and Portugese... just does nothing helpful.

I believe the idea is to not clean up the translations at all.

*sigh* These topics have never lasted long, if I recall correctly. Oh well... lock time.

Original: Quote: "Sanity is inversely relative. The more relatives you have, the less likely you are to be sane." English -> German German -> English English -> French French -> Spanish Spanish -> English End: Quote: "The reason is in the inverted father. More used, than it has to him, it is you, healthy probably stops to be less." ...oddly, any further translations wound up with extraneous punctuation. But I suppose the clauses stopped making sense somewhere around here.

Hey, I'm with Niemand on this one. Hostile type 2 does get use, and it already does look suitably different.

I am so glad we turned image posting back on.

Yes, the Earth-as-organism model is intriguing, but only if you redefine organism to the point where any complex system qualifies.

That's assuming we can find a suitably large deposit of suitable archaebacteria, because nothing else is really going to be able to cope with the current situation on Venus. Still, an interesting thought experiment.

Yes, yes you should.

Oof Turtledove... couldn't make it through a single book (Guns of the South). Dense, dense prose.

Tales of the Dying Earth, Jack Vance. Roughly half of the inspiration for the AIMhack games that have been going on. Crazed individuals, ancient and unpredictable magicks, and unfathomable creatures all set under Earth's waning sun.

... O.o All I can do is chase it away with pretty pictures.

I am pleased to see the image-posting game has begun. Well-played.

Oof... please, in the future, don't put such huge images directly into a thread.

Hm... I think this has drifted enough. An interesting subject, no doubt, but we're done here.

Hey! Log of Blood Marsh 7 is now available! Now, quotes! Click to reveal.. (AAAAAAAAA*quotes*AAAAAAAAH) Alexander: "I was just going to give you a bit of a scare. I wouldn't have let the zombies kill you. I think." Temmyn: "Whew. Living people at last." Kurex: "It's probably not a good idea to idly chat in a ghoul infested tomb." Amadan: "If it comes to saving my life, though, you can violate my personal space anytime." Esstra: "Don't talk to me right now. We need to discuss where hands go during combat LATER." So yeah, that was awesome. Now, scheduling. The next Selos session will in fact be Friday April 23rd, 6pm CDT, because that's the time everyone can make. Please please please don't plan things over it now. And Blood Marsh folks, you haven't been forgotten. Because that currently makes it a long while until the next session, let's see if maybe we can squeeze a second session in beforehand. To that end, SCHEDULE!

Zombies and skeletons (aka lesser undead) have to be one of the most common fantasy game enemy type tropes -- second in line, I'd guess, after goblin-types. I'd argue that undead are still the most common. Goblins may be the universal Kill Me To Get To Level 2 monster, but undead are everywhere.
