Looking at the scenarios in the back of the Keeper's Book, I just realized that Amidst the Ancient Trees takes place in the same time and place as the first chapter of A Time to Harvest.  Has anybody tried using it with Time to Harvest? It seems like it would be a perfect fit. 

Ah, thank you. I had totally forgotten about those scenarios. 

In the back of my Missed Dues / Blackwater Creek book from the Keeper's Screen, I have this single page color insert that has two building maps on it. One is what looks like a city shop called the Unconsidered Trifles and on the reverse is Leiter's Cottage, a two story home. The insert doesn't appear to have actually come with the book, does anybody know what it might have actually come from? 

having run two sessions, one of the biggest story issues that came up was, what to do with the cow they rescue from the rock lizards. Kill it, Leave it, Bring it... One group seriously considered summoning the ghost of the slain bandit to lead their cow back to the tribe.

Interestingly, in both times I've been involved in a playtest, the player characters did fight Idrima, or at least started or provoked a fight and then very rapidly decided this was a bad idea and switched gears to negotiate. 

I did a playtest and my five-player group absolutely refused to negotiate until three were dead, then it wasn't such a bad idea. 

Are we missing Spirit Combat attack skills/spells?or is it more generic and you just make a 'spirit attack' and success = damage.

Gotta love the bronze age. 

 

The Strike Rank rules are leaving me with more questions than answers.

With initiative being a function of how many things the player wants to do in a round, do they have to go around the table and detail all of their actions to determine their Strike Rank and THEN take their actions in the SR order (low to high)? 

what is the actual function of the DEX / SIZ Strike Ranks? Is it a limit of some kind, or the Base Strike Rank? The example on page 7 gives the character a  Dex 11 (SR3) and suggests he could move, cast a spell, and ready his bow for 11 SR but what does the Dex-based SR of 3 actually DO as it seems to have no relationship to the example?

Some of the NPCs have a Base Strike Rank and some don't. Does it default to 1? 

The character sheets have runes at the bottom with no explanation. Are these just decoration?

ditto the downloadable resources Q. I have a physical copy but the PDF will make charactersheets easier. 

Picked-up my Keeper's copy of DERELICT. GREAT One-shot. Perfect for a two-hour time-slot. Oddly though, no pregen characters included. Is there a good source for half-a-dozen modern pregens? 

edit: found the GM resources page, with some pregens: http://www.chaosium.com/gm-resources/

I'm looking at running A Time to Harvest on the first sunday of the month, are the episodes expected to be released at the same time every month? 

Hey. Eager to run Time to Harvest in Portland Oregon. 

Now they just need a Demolitions Team so they can bring explosives.
