I only recently acquired a copy of the card game (right before the pandemic hit) and I like it quite a bit.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-67874477318125940542020-08-14T00:28:49.370-07:002020-08-14T00:28:49.370-07:00Thanks.

Not exactly an original idea, but not a bad alternative to the Tolkien-like fey; another branch of humanity destined to be replaced by “modern” humans.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-79269069689761340472020-08-13T09:36:25.331-07:002020-08-13T09:36:25.331-07:00Also, I like your interpretation on elves.

I like the decadent fallen/falling civilization you present.PatrickWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083947433803227063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-46302938252232589292020-08-13T09:33:18.015-07:002020-08-13T09:33:18.015-07:00That last bullet point is very interesting.

On the monster summary table I called that part of the tables Humans/Humanoids, but as I hadn't worked on the random encounter tables yet, but I see clearly now that Humans is one table and Giants, containing most of the other humanoids, is a separate and more inclusive group than expected. I'll have to look into the implications of that.<br /><br />Excellent work!PatrickWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083947433803227063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-3184277862508393372020-08-13T00:36:25.593-07:002020-08-13T00:36:25.593-07:00Good read.

Boyer treats the Alfar (elves) in her Norse fantasy books...they're not much different from Sciplings (humans) other than residing in a faerie realm and having more belief/access to the supernatural. The humans seem naive next to them.<br /><br />But my elves are a bit more jaded and decadent than Boyer's Alfar.<br />; )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-45824745623347665052020-08-12T05:52:46.051-07:002020-08-12T05:52:46.051-07:00This is a kind of elf i want to try in my own camp...This is a kind of elf i want to try in my own campaign.
