Scornado Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Is there anything available to buy - perhaps in the Jonstown Compendium - that covers the basics of Lunar Assassns in the broader sense? I have all the RQG books published so far and for GMing reasons cannot wait until Chaosium publish anything next year. Thanks in advance.

metcalph Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I don't think there's a specific occupation of Lunar Assassin. Rather the Satraps use a whole variety of magicians, gladiators and criminals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t read it, but there is Blue Moon, White Moon from John Wick: A one-encounter adventure you can use to springboard other adventures or add in between longer campaigns. A new Background: Blue Moon Assassin, including new spells and magic items. Only $0.99 (for 14 pages), so maybe worth a punt.

It indeed is worth a punt and I have punted, thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g33k Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 There are the "Dart Warriors;" the most famous person to have been a Dart Warrior is likely Harrek the Berzerk. It's unclear to me if any Lunar assassin working the political arena is a "Dart Warrior," or if there's some extra connotation/requirement/etc to being (or not being) a Dart Warrior. If someone is being assassinated for some other reason -- economics, personal vendetta, etc -- without political motive, I don't think "Dart Warriors" do that (although such crass motives may I suspect be disguised behind a "conventional" Dart-Wars explanation).

As far as I can tell, dart warriors are just the people being used in these small wars between lunar nobles for political power and other vendettas. They could be decent magicians, straight up warriors, poisoners, demagogues swaying crowds away from the patronage of a particular noble, and so on, at least to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Brooke Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I have a few collected thoughts about Dart Wars, Lunar Assassins, Blue Moon Assassins and the like in my Gloranthan Manifesto, which is a free download or a cheap paperback. See pages 117-118. 1 Quote Community Ambassador - Jonstown Compendium, Chaosium, Inc.

The situation I have is that it is 1626 and Argrath is to make a flying visit to his birthplace and the cousin of the Thane of Apple Lane has been asked to arrange some pre-visit security ... what could go wrong?

Then you really need to read Thrilla’s Story, at the back of the Manifesto. She’s what could go wrong. 1 Quote Community Ambassador - Jonstown Compendium, Chaosium, Inc.

Oh no, my character romanced her, this story was both utterly terrifying and quite likely. Oh dear. 1 Quote ☀️Sun County Apologist☀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
