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.

The portion of the Silk Road that I like most is the Taklamakan Desert.  So many ancient ruins and anomalies.  The Canals of Yanqi, or the desert ruins south of Aksu look particularly intriguing.

I feel the need to pick one of these up soon. The historical fidelity of this appeals to me quite a lot.


And if you read this far, but don't feel it was worth your time, then I will say 'Read me no further, Lord or Lady ... and may the road rise up to meet your face."

Glad to hear it! I doubt you'd be disappointed.

I could have sworn this book had a manticore in the monster section but apparently not. Fake memories I guess. I even "remember" the art on the page being the below cropped.  :o

Alternate universe? That's pretty wild.
