Fri Jun 14, 2024 2:13 pm Return to B2

I thought "Return to the Keep on the Borderlands" was problematic. I haven't used it but I have read through it a long time ago. Wouldn't you rather recommend the non-Return version of B2?

Thu Jul 11, 2024 10:36 pm

Just last week I was reading an old Q&A with Gary where he talked about the Eye of Fire, and I cannot now find it! Very frustrating. According to him, the eye was always a triangle that was subdivided into smaller triangles by a "Y" shape, and the image of an eye surrounded by flame was the result of the artist not paying close enough attention.

In any case, I like your concept of the two versions of the triangle symbol being deliberately similar-but-different as a ploy by Zug better.

Mon May 19, 2025 7:42 am Rivers

Most civilization is centered around water, almost exclusively rivers. Even ocean port cities are generally on river mouths. Humans need fresh water. And as a mode of transportation, rivers are really good places for adventures, as a party coasting down a river are being taken to the adventure rather than travelling to it. "After three days of riding the river current you find boat being attacked by...." Rinse and repeat.
