This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Thanks for the info, Ghul.  Sounds like it'll be a great read!

Ghul's been posting some new pieces of art from Ian Baggley for AS&SH:

Those are very cool.

From his surcoat, I think that guy with the ray gun may secretly work for Avalon Hill ;):

The problem is not that power corrupts, but that the corruptible are irresistibly drawn to the pursuit of power. Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito.

This Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers looks very appealing.
You can shake your fists at the sky. You can do a rain dance. You can ignore the clouds completely. But none of them move the clouds.

While I am, admittedly, not big on retroclones...I gotta say, I dig the feel of the art.

What IS with the ray gun, anyway?

Maybe that dude's a plane-hopping veteran of an expedition to the Barrier Peaks.

AS&SH is a pulp + fantasy game in that it intends to draw from both barbarians-and-sorcerers fiction and mad-scientists-and-mind-rays fiction. So the laser is not an accident there.

Huh. Interesting. And I'm pleased that armor provides damage reduction.

Just let me know if you need a review. :)

I run at least one or two public events for this system per year, LV, and as it appears we may be within an hour of each other (I'm in Southern NH), perhaps we can toss some dice together at a con or store event in the near future.

A good plan.
I lived in Portsmouth, Dover, Durham, Nashua, Milford, Wilton, and Hudson, at different times.

I tell, you, I actually have not played in anyone elses game since ...a while.  I have 2 homebrew systems I work with (Guildschool for Celtricia, and Accis), and I love talking system.  I think it would be fun to get together and talk Hyperboria.
