M Helsdon Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 I'd like to thank all the artists and proofreaders, and Nick Brooke, for their many contributions towards the success of this book. Its voyage to far distant shores has now returned with a cargo of gold! Personally, I feel this really looks best as a big solid book (too big, too solid!), as it presents the art in the best possible way, so Nick's efforts are very much appreciated.ย This was the culmination of several years of work - ancient ships and seafaring have always fascinated me, but there's far more here than ships or seafaring, as it let me tread the ways of many different lands and cities, and sail across strange seas.ย It is very much a homage to the journeys of Biturian Varosh and Norayeep, as there's a difference between writing about ๐ ๐๐๐๐กโ๐๐๐, and writing about characters experiencing ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐. There's dryly writing about a place or an event, and seeing it through the eyes of the narrator of the Periplus. So thank you also to Michael O'Brien and Chaosium for letting me do this. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the Dormal rites were not properly conducted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some caravan masters take their ownย idiosyncratic routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
