soltakss Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) While looking at the Chaotic Features Table from the Gloranthan Bestiary p89, I noticed an unfortunate typo.

soltakss Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 From the proposed blurb on the front page: Thank you for purchasing Secrets of Dorastor. This is a personal description of how the author sees the land and people of Dorastor and should in no way, shape or form, be considered canon. Future Chaosium releases will contradict this and I, for one, will be happy when they do. Having said that, please feel free to use and abuse the land and people of Dorastor contained herein, as they will happily abuse you.

Puckohue Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Thanks for this thread and reminding me of the Riskland campaign. That’s one more option for the future of my 1615 Borderlands-campaign.

It still has some Dorastor info though, especially what Ralzakark’s Summon Sky Terror is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're both right. The lecture was 2015 but the book came out last year. And like the Land of Doom itself, there may be weird time loops and currents that look like paradoxes.

Joerg Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I fear I was not clear. In 2019, Sandy held another seminar starting as "Forgotten Secrets" at Kraken, but about halfway through it became a series of industry anecdotes instead. Before it came to that, however, Sandy had a go at the flipchart and sketched out the interior of Dorastor as we know it from the Guide or Dorastor: Land of Doom, and then drew another line for the Ralian flanks of the Rockwoods, and revealed a very large area between the slopes visible from Nangtali Plateau and those visible from Karia. And that is a region which is in flux, or only of temporary reality, or whatever. No two passages across Kartolin Pass cross the same type of territory. Unless it's a trap. 1 1 Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7Tigers Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Well, I'm sure Sandy gave way more details in 2019 but the More F S of G pdf includes a small map by Jon Hodgson illustrating what you (Joerg) describe. Anyway, as it is a "put what you want" land, details are not mandatory to use the concept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the perfect "blank land", nothing you put there can possibly be contradicted by canon, ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
