Maze of the Logrus

[Panjumanju]

A friend of mine reminded me today of a fond memory he has of when I ran him through Amber Diceless, an event I had entirely forgotten. I made him run through an ever-changing maze in the Courts of Chaos in order to gain his control of the Logrus.

I remember at the time the RPG rulebook gave wonderful detail about walking the Pattern, and really nothing about assaying the Logrus. I think that's pretty fitting of the setting. The player had read as much as he could of the rulebook, although trying to avoid being spoiled - and for that reason didn't read the books until the campaign was done.

So, when he went to assay the Logrus maze he had no idea what to expect, at all - and that added to the mystique of it, I think. He told me today he felt like he really accomplished something getting through. I'm a little proud.

Does anyone have other stories of the Logrus maze?

That's a cool interpretation of it but I don't think its canonical as such, so I don't think you'll see a lot of other people explaining the experience in that way.

I've done a Logrus assay that was based around small dream like scenes that explored the characters inner working, How far would you go to save yourself, what would you do in this moral dilemma and so forth enough horrible stuff to drive you insane.

I do Pattern walks the same way except more of looking at who you were and who you are now, showing choices and how they effected you. It also was interesting. I like doing both and seldom get the chance to anymore.

Not quite but I did once have a Logrus guy getting chased by a group of demonic shape shifters.
He was basically doing a full hellride (I differentiate between how the Logrus and Pattern allow you to travel though shadow a lot less than the rule book does)  but through buildings. So you are in a long hall full of mirrors .. I turn left and smash through a door way I will keep one of the mirrors and change everything else to a library....

The creatures had shadow trail so pursued until he eventually lost them but the whole process felt like a crazy guy running through a maze that changed all the time. At the end as he was sitting in a small courtyard smoking a cigarette he had conjured I explained that the chase had reminded him of assailing the Logus pursued by the Serpent of Chaos.

(More people should shadow walk inside...)

Maybe your memory was wiped after the experience?

Yes, for me Logrus-initiations are like crazy drug-trips.
