I might also be interested .. timing permitted and time difference compatibility.. and I (unlike some who failed their deceit roll) haven’t read any of the above for at least 30 years and have just checked my bookcase and my copies have been stolen!!!

a Dark Ages Prydain, set in and around Pengwern

That campaign has obviously been running for a while... I'm introducing a heretical sect of Jötunn worship which has an alternative view on Woden as a self-seeking, psychopathic narcissist only intent on delaying Ragnarok to preserve his own life

and when mine catches up with your timeline maybe we will introduce our PCs to each other and see what they do...😇

you might have some luck on the Mythras discord

Thanks...I'll try that and see if there are people willing to collaborate. I've written a fair amount already.. possibly enough for a number of sessions and did out some maps today... I even went hunting for some colouring pencils

Rose this sounds like a Psychology paper?

(Let’s not play Broo Brothers, though.)

In my (very short) Broo interlude adventure there was a two headed Broo called... Jake and Elwood Broo.. they did hate Illinois Nazis though

the drapes

I love matching drapes... 

I just got an email from DriveThruFiction and King of Sartar is their Deal of the Day... but its a PDF

https://www.drivethrufiction.com/product/176926/King-of-Sartar

As a bit of a diversion for my players and to get them out of their comfort zone, I've decided to run an AS Chronicle. Interestingly, there is some misgiving about roleplaying Saxons, Jutes or Angles at the time of Arthur as they feel they are no longer on the 'goodies' side. 

Anyways, I have both Logres and Waterlands Scenarios but was interested if any other GMs had done something similar with their own material and would be willing to swop information/ ideas?

The PCs are three brothers, each with their own secrets. The basic premise for the first scenario is finding why their father's ghost has not been able to find rest. According to family tradition, he volunteered to act as rearguard and hold up pursuing enemies while allowing his Carls to escape. It was presumed that he fell heroically in succeeding to protect his men. So why does he appear to the PCs' mother in dreams, silently talking to her, covered in gore and blood with fatal wounds on his body?

I want to create a fluid, multi-layered campaign that allows the PCs choice and feel that they are in control of their wyrds but also marks the passing of time in that they grow older, perhaps richer and more powerful, eventually die (maybe even in bed) and are succeeded by their children.  They can then build up a dynasty 

So if anyone would like to collaborate ..I'd be only too happy to join in

I's certainly be interested in that... I'm still working on the Hanse campaign so this is all good stuff

I need something to distract me as I'm off work after a night On call and it feels like this...

"The show has been lauded for its realistic take on dealing with depression, trauma, addiction, self-destructive behaviour, racism, sexism, sexuality and the human condition" 

yep...that sounds Brooish

Oi!-Boi orks.

Oi-Boi definition: A person or animal who is particularly fat, lazy and sleepy, yet comforting, soft and kind-faced.

Never thought of orcs as soft and comforting but I guess people change and evolve.

Next we will have Walktapus Social Workers and Scorpion-people nurses

However this picture is even more disturbing and insidious and shows how Broo infiltrated the 70's hippy culture posing in front of the ruins of the Big Rubble 

My sister, who is an artist, has just sent me some of her older artwork to keep for her. Its a set of prints from her "My head is an animal'"

She did a whole series of plaster moulds and subsequent bronzes and then took pictures of them and made prints

I was thinking that perhaps Broo have evolved to be accepted in modern society.. for evidence I present the following .. his chaotic feature appears to be 'Like the Specials'. Those of us who are old enough will remember the particularly dystopian Ghost Town which I guess is how Broo sometimes see themselves.. outsiders, left on the shelf, forgotten and despised 

...though I am struggling with Ska being associated with chaos

It’s Jar-eel’s teeth that evoke similarities

I hope you took advantage of the free PDF option for softcover and hardcover purchases.

My Hardcover arrived today and hadn’t realised you can get a PDF free 😭😭😭

I was thinking about the best lines from players in my 30+ years of gamesmastering...some of my favourites are:

On a week trip to the wilds of West Cork I ran a short number of scenarios where the players were Broo. Periodically the Malia Rune Priest showed up to check they were furthering the spreading of disease, chaos and general mayhem. 

On one such occasion, one of the Broo characters greeted the Rune Lord with,

”The pus in my soul rises up to greet thee, My Lord”.“

Or perhaps when Lord Harold (Harry to his mates) Cadwalader, and upper class twit dilettante, was asked to make a History roll in CoC. He turned to his Valet, Toby Perkins (run by another player) and asked him:

”What is my History roll, Toby?”

”I think your Lordship will find it on his Lordship’s character sheet, directly underneath First Aid”, replied Toby

”Would you be a good chap and roll it for me Toby? I have a glass of brandy in one hand and a cigar in the other and quite frankly this is what I pay you for.”

Anyone else have any classic lines?

Two out of three... 

I share a common fate with the sea,

Spinning the months around in alternate cycles.

When the glory of my light-forming form wanes,

so, too, the sea loses its swollen flood tides

No-one can see me or catch me in their palms

I spread the noisy sound of my voice 

through the world; I can break to pieces the strong oak with my loud

crashing voice, as I beat against the high poles of

the sky and traverse the fields

Formed in a marvellous way, born without seed

I loan my sweet great with treasure from flowers;

By my art the golden platters of Kings grow yellow;

always I bear the small, sharp spears of cruel war

And though I lack hands, my spear stings more cruelly

than weapons forged by smiths

Yes, my current Revolution D100ish Dark Age Prydain game has a healthy dollop of Blood Magic, taken from Legend.

It makes for quite a dark game in places, but sometimes confuses the Players, as their enemies and allies both use Blood Magic and one of them has a connection to the Grail and realised that it is based on Blood Magic.

The ubiquity of Blood Magic strikes me as difficult to leave out of games as it runs through every culture particularly in Celtic/ Greek/ Northern Germanic which I am presently interested in. I think you're right Soltakss.. people find it unsettling and dark.. particularly if we want to be on the 'good side' and it is sometimes difficult to suspend our 21st century morality.

I've looked at the Legend rules and will likely take parts of that to use

I was looking at the pictures I'd taken of Bog bodies at the National Archaeology Museum in Dublin ... blood sacrifice...fascinating stuff
