Lost, Bitten & Mutilated



Art by Tony Yates

First off, apologies to Zak Smith (and Lamentations of the Flame Princess) for my shameless "hack", as it were, of the title of Zac's inspired "Frostbitten & Mutilated" book. I just picked a copy up at my local and have been ravenously devouring it last night and today. Living in Canada I get quite enough of the cold in real life so the sub-zero setting of his books appeals to me less than it might to some. 

It occurred to me that it need not be set in a frigid northern climate at all. Why not use it for inspiration for my Ngála game? Why not, indeed! With that in mind, I am stripping away the freezing cold and bringing on the sweltering heat and monsoon rains, transporting the setting to Southern Tsolyánu... 

"Lost, Bitten & Mutilated" is my Indian takeaway, as it were. :-)

Best Kept Secrets: The Forge of Ice!



Alex Bate's "Forge of Ice" has just launched a second kickstarter for his Azor setting - click the link above to check it out. It features these cool guardsmen which - IMO - would work well for Tekumel games.



You can find out more about the Forge of Ice on facebook or, if you don't do facebook, then on the Lead Adventure Forum: link. Check out his range! He has a lot of cool stuff! :-)
