Oops, sorry, I fumbled my "Yahoo Use" roll :)

Here is the announcement.

The lucky fellows at Tentacles, including our Forum Admin, already have their
copies, but now you can order yours, too! BRP Rome is now available at the <a
href="http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=1008450">Alephtar Games Lulu.com
StoreFront</a>.

US Customers are strongly recommended to wait a couple more days and order
directly from Chaosium. The Chaosium batch of books is already printed and
currently travelling through the States, so it should be in California within
thursday Jun 3.

EU customers can also order from the <a href="http://www.tradetalk.de/">Chaos
Society</a>

The PDF version will be online in a matter of days.

I also wish take advantage of the announcemente to thank again Fabian and all
the Tentacles crew for twelve years of enjoyment. I am specially proud that the
debut of Rome has been among the events of this closing edition!

Technically, mine is still in a suitcase travelling around Germany but it's good
to know that my messenger boy made it and did the one job that I set him.

Glad to hear it.

Is it worth asking whether Tentacles was any good this year? I'm sorry I missed
it, but family matters take precedence :-(

Hiya All

Summer 2009 seems to have been a good one for RQ/BRP Alternate Earth.

First, we had RQ Guilds Factions and Cults, then BRP Rome, then BRP Val-de-Loupe
and soon we'll have RQ Price of Honour.

Have a look at http://alternateearthrq.soltakss.com/ for a summary of what's
available. To my eyes there are nearly 30 Alternate Earth supplements in print
or planned, if you count Cthulhu material, both Dark Ages and Roman.

See Ya

Hi All

Does anyone know of a decent on line resource for Greek mythology
monsters, items I could extrapolate into RuneQuest stats. I am more
interested in sea type monsters initially, but items such as cerebrus
hounds etc would also be something for me to look into.

Tony

It hasn't any stats but http://www.pantheon.org/areas/bestiary/articles.html has
a lot information about mythological beasties.
http://home.comcast.net/~chris.s/myth.html has a lot of links to bestiaries and
creature descriptions about a quarter of the way down the main page. I haven't
checked them all out, but some of them look useful.

Has anyone imagined putting together all the various races and critters from the
BRP system, especially those from RQ,EQ,RW, the Cthulhu stuff is so...plentiful
that would be impossible




[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

By the way, how would the general public react to a RQ/BRP/HQ book about
Ancient and Medieval Ireland (Cu Chulainn and more)? I have a
prospective author who has some materials almost ready, and I am
considering publishing it.

Sounds good to me. I'd prefer Ancient Ireland, up to the Ulster Cycle.

I thought your schedule was full until next year.

Simon

I would have an interest. In fact its one of the reasons Alt Earth Site
was established as we were discussion rumors of an alleged work by
Katherine Kerr (I think) done for Avalon Hill RQ Ireland. No one ever
corroborated or disputed this as I recall.

But for sure, I would love to see some sort of Mythic Ireland. My
suggestion would be to actually pitch it at various time sin the
timeline, so one could choose when one would like to play. Kind of have
a general overview of who what when and where and then have a Book of
invasions specific few chapters. E.G.
Chapter X - Tuatha De Danan
Chapter XI - Formorian Invasion
Chapter XII - Fir Bolg
Chapter XIII - Ulster Cycle
Chapter XIV - Roman Invasion
Chapter VX - Dark Ages - Coming of st Patric
Etc etc

I work from vague memory and bad spelling here:)

Cheers
Tony

Yes, at one time Katherine Kerr was working on a Celtic (not just Irish) RQ
supplement. She had a lot of fantastic society background stuff done, though not
organized, when she pulled out of the project for medical reasons. Nothing more
ever came of it. I've read several other celtic-oriented stuff from the Chaosium
(mostly for Pendragon) and they don't seem to have made any use of the material
as I remember it.

Is she still around? As I recall she was about my age, but a lot of people I've
known who were my age don't seem to have made the trip this far.

I think she is still about, her site has a 2009 copywrite on it.

It would be great if somehoe that material could be used as a point of

Those books are all in storage so I can't look up any details.

It's not the 5,000 reported cases, it's the unreported ones that frighten me!

Sorry, guys... this was a response to a post to three groups and I didn't
realize it... my reply when here even though the original message was in a
different group.

Bo

book is Nylharotep, LOL

It also states clear rules for use in CoC... it is a gaming take on the book
from the movie of the same name. Rather creative and useful at that.

Thanks for posting the link.

Three days from now, Ladies and Gents, the Walls between this world and the
Other grow thin and Those that have passed and other critters will walk among
us...

So, I had a chance to meet a great new player who was curious as to what and how
and how I ran Horror Games and ideas for Halloween.

It allowed to brag and reminisce, so what do you guys do. Do Holidays actually
impinge on your ideas?
Also, how "logical" is your occult, we humans are natural storytellers, we
perceive something and make up a story to explain it. Many Ghosts are like this,
someone believes they saw something, the tries to put it into context a way to
explain.
 " WE heard the Weeping LAdy last night"
"poor soul, maybe she was the lady they said disappeared a centuary ago"
Often Occult stuff happens, I sometimes just drop something on the players in a
horror game that has nothing to do with the advenure. Not a red herring, really.
" Where did the Giant Head Fall From?"

One of the Classic Haunts I have used is the Horseman, Headless of course. There
are many stories of headless ghosts but with Irving and many interpretations
this haint, is easy for a lot people to understand, the problem is that many
being swayed with modern ideas. This Ghost always stays the same. A Headless Rev
war soldier. With Sabre at ready seeking for heads to chop.

Heads are something, Headhunting Celts, and head hunting hessians. I started
with a old news story from the 1920's about several men found headless on a main
street. It was not known who or why was chopping heads, and why along this area.
But of course the richness of the ideas. ( another thing I ran was the other
way, how about a living head. Like the head of Bran?? Once I had the group hired
to take an object, a gold and jewel encrusted "box" to Mexico. Inside was living
head of an ancient Indian Holy Man. All sorts fo people wanted that Head.
Criminals wanted the box certain factions wanthed the head, the box the magic."

There is another hunter , or hunters that I have used with great success was the
Wild Hunt, and even updated them to modern times. As Faceless Men in Darkened
Helmets on top of Powerful Motorcycles. What is  more terrifying than being
chased down by Men in Motorcycles and The Blank Faceplate of some though that
obviosuly means you harm???

Like above man has reinterpretted myths and ideas, to fit his comfort zone. What
scares us? Being Lost and alone and hunted down has played well, at least for
some , as we see in the Blair Witch. I thought it was weak, but I spent a lot of
time in the woods, but for most that live so far away from the wild, I supposeit
could be frightening. Unless you think it is silly. I suggest sometime in the
summer or late fall, go out of town, to fields of corn. Turn off the car, and
stand admsit the rows. The whispers of the corns. The complete silence.  For a
person used to being surrounded by the subtle sounds of s city, could be
unnerving. ( I actually took players into the rural areas, and some city folk
cant handle it. Too quiet)

So we have haunted house,the basis of the city,  the walls that should protect
you are actually a place of terror. And Like I said before, we rationalize,
explain away what happens. How do you play hauntings?
When the dead awaken and start to call for new members, in a house, how do we
protect ourselves?

Of course in our collective consciousness we have knowledge of the great Five ,
Frank, Drac, Wolfie, Mummy, and the Creature.
Some of these play well.
If you ignore the whiny angst ridden Vamp and reawakeen the horror of the
predator Drac can Play well.
And if you have vamps that are not the Rice fantasy , things get scary.
I once ran a campaign where Five vampires where coming together to do some major
magic to reawaken a sixth more powerful vamp. The vampires were coming from
different places, So the group didnt ralize they were dealing with more than one
until late in the game.

Frank can be hard to swallow, unless you explore zombies. We all know where
things have gone with that. But what about the "Real" Frank, intelligent,
articulate, a monster, or something else?

With Wolfie, I threw a curve at the players. In an older part of town where
there was once fields and woods a werewolf hunted. It was stopped, now It's
Ghost has returned to continue it's rampage. Imagine a bunch of
characters(players) thinking it was a wolf, wild dog, discover it is a werewolf,
then as they confront it, It disappears, lol.

The Creature from the lagoon. We have had in cryptozoology a couple witnessing
claiming to see something like this, the Loveland frog, and a couple sighting in
europe and the pacific west coast.
I have lived on the coasts, and along the lakes and rivers. Now I live along the
Ohio river. The idea of an intelligent reptile man living in water sounds
insane. Then, you go by the river, look into it's muddy waters, and wonder.
Walking at night along the creeks and even in the city. It is easy to imagine
the possibilities of horror.

As a reader and players and GM in horror games. I look at the black windows and
wonder. What secrets do these houses hold. Mutated people living among us.
Another green river killer, another Dahmler? Or even something else.


Want a true ghost story. Here is one. Truly happened, call me a liar I dont
care. But here it is.
I just moved to Louisville a few weeks earlier and was walking my dog along
bardstown road past highland. It was a couple weeks before halloween, so I didnt
think anything of a man dressed in top hat and tails slightly ahead of us. WE
were walking late, and there were other people moving around. In fact a couple
smiled at him, and moved aside as he strode along. He didnt move fast, but he
seemed to walk with purpose. My dog who loves everyone was acting weird, pulling
and whining at the same time. So I followed this guy. A Block along the man
Turned towardCherokke, then walked through the fence into  cave hill, he  walked
through the bars. And promptly disappeared.
True story, I got more, lol

Thanks Sam,

That was a really interesting look at the usual tropes, and a good read, too.
