Erol of Backford Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 So we are looking for reasons the Caprati do not like trolls. We are not saying they do so but wish to create this dislike if they do not. Maybe they just don't like nonhumans? Would that include Agimori or they human enough? Besides they are blamed when any caravan gets raided going north from Karse to Sartar what else might be a reason the Caprati? Is the family against them traditionally out west and so they brought their dislike with them when coming east? Also in the Beyond the Building Wall the statement that they'd hire nonhumans as a last resort gives the impression they are not liking trolls...

Check the Guide p.414, Duke Porfain of the Roses: Quote a game of katurang (a two player board game similar to chess), a duel, and a riddling contest. These were used to settle the question of naval domination in the Quinpolic League a generation before (i.e. when Dormal brought the new magic of the Opening).

Jason Farrell Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) Nice surprise! When I flipped through the main Nochet book, coming off of reading your Imther book, I was the tiniest bit disappointed there weren't any cults or spells. I thought, well, it's specifically about a city and the Imther book a wider region, and explained it to myself thusly. Now I see that you had a plan for it all along. 😉 Btw, I appreciate the concientious pricing on this book. $7.99 is kinda cheap for 124 pages, but I assume subsumed into that decision is the overlap between this and the mother book. That price point makes it a total no brainer for me to pick it up, even if I already have a chunk of it.

That price point makes it a total no brainer for me to pick it up, even if I already have a chunk of it. The city guide is large as-is (for what I wanted to deliver with that), and looking to shoehorn in cults, etc. would have been really too much (and push the price higher - and well beyond budgets). So it stayed out, but I got nudged to think about a player's reference, and they naturally fit with that, so here they are! I figured with some level of overlap of contents, I'd target the price in line with what was new. Makes it easier I think for new players to pick it up too and see if they like the setting. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajagappa Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Here's a bit of Lee O'Connor's artwork from the book. I really like the down-to-earth figures, and he's worked in some great (and subtle) tattoos. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pleasure working with both Lee and Simon on new pieces in the work. And hopefully my public domain selections work to give a feel for the city itself (or at least how I imagine it!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajagappa Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 And on the topic of Simon's art, here's one of his pieces which helped illustrate a reworking of the old article "What My Mother Told Me: A Personal View of Esrolian Life" from HeroQuest Voices.
