I found this very cool site devoted to all things Arthurian. There are articles, a mailing list, a journal, links to maps, and links to Arthurian books, fiction and non-fiction. So many rabbit holes! arthuriana.org/ (Image)

@dr_mitch Wasn't The Girl With All the Gifts just apocalyptic? I mean, the apocalypse in that book is still happening, right?

(Quote) Woops! Haha - that's embarrassing. @Ray_Otus led me astray, I swear! (Quote) To be clear about Glorantha, it's an original fantasy setting where Bronze is the main metal, but other than that it's not especially 'bronze age'. It draws from m…

(Quote) He even lists IHW in the inspiration section of his book.

(Quote) Which will leave room to include the info from the lost 'companion' :smiley: !

You can tease if you want. It's called Mythic Babylon, published by the Design Mechanism as part of their Mythic series for their game, Mythras. Already published are Mythic Britain (dark ages), Mythic Rome (republic, iron age), and Mythic Constanti…

OK, good enough. Paul and I are in the final stages of just such a project, but it won't be out until next year and it's more book that you usually want. But it does have city states up the wazoo. Here's the best of the rest: Red Gods of Babylon l…

First tell me what you mean by 'bronze age', please.

@dr_mitch Slow because you aren't really enjoying it, or slow because that's how you want to read it? Me, I thought it was amazing. My wife didn't care for it that much - she read most of it but never quite finished. I'd still love to do this as a …

(Quote) LOL. If only I'd written my review sooner...

I'd play it if someone wanted to run it, but I probably wouldn't run it myself. I am interested in reading more about the setting though. I bought Gatecrashing, and will one day get Sunward and Rimward, I expect. You know - the geography books.

@rossum Thanks, @dr_mitch I think the film will get around the limitations of the setting by having a lot of close-ups of the characters when in threatening situations. This is a standard horror style of filming anyway (lets viewers experience the …

To play naval military scenarios in the vein of Horatio Hornblower or Captain Aubrey. @clash_bowley could not doubt give you a hundred scenarios - he wrote a whole series of books to do just this, beginning with In Harm's Way for Napoleonic adventur…

Thanks, @Ray_Otus !

@Ray_Otus Those are all great arguments for E-books. For me, personally, they don't outweigh the stuff I lose. I do have to admit that I bought a few books that are so large I might never read them! The Annotated H.P. Lovecraft, for example. It didn…

OK. I'm upgrading this thread to zero LOL

Better :-)

Also, I noticed that comments are appearing most recent first. This is counter intuitive, I think. On the surface, you'd probably think it makes sense to keep the new stuff fresh on top, but that only works if you only read the latest post. In prac…

I haven't tried it, but off the bat am not that keen. I like posts to appear chronologically, which makes it easier to find old posts. EDIT: OK, so the posts don't move. That's OK. Interestingly, I coudn't upvote my own comment. If you can't love y…

(Quote) That's because they so seldom have flavour. Now, if the spells were called "May the Eye Go Back to the Owner", "To Tie a Fly" or "You Are a Monstrous Evil" you'd read them. @dr_mitch Reading 40 rpgs in a year i…
