Re: Contribute Something For Yrth
Honestly, I might as well just drop a link to my custom Banestorm campaign notes (sadly unutilized so far): http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=54684

Kitsunes, selkies, jaguar warriors... tick, tick, tick. Dragons! Ah, now we're talking! I've never made them common enough (on Ytarria at least) to have people say 'oh cha! Just another firedrake!' I've taken license from the Black Dragon of Tredroy (and the Black Dragon who is the symbol of Megalos) to have various dragons with differing breath weapons appear: it makes it easier to differentiate between them. The Blue Dragon of Ware (who may have originated in an official publication: I can't recall now) was an ice dragon and a major adversary. (The Grey Dragon, her mother, breathed a paralysis gas and appeared in my YRTH 1100 game.) That's on Ytarria. On the other continent (the one that is Eurasia and Africa to Ytarria's North America) I have dragons as the dominant species. Their culture is something I should probably write up at some point. A race of greedy, immensely powerful, quarrelsome aesthetes and artists. Their marital law is especially interesting and often resorted to. "I thought I loved them but they dissed my collection!" is a very common reason for divorce. The dragons on Ytarria all seem to have learned shapeshifting magic to mingle among the lesser species. Yes! The Lung should be treated as a separate species. And tied into the spirit magic. Dungeon XXIII! Oh yes! I won't comment on your deep conspiracy background except to note that every Yrth needs one. Or several. Amongst mine are: Who Is Really Behind the MoS and others. Who Really Created The Orcs. What was going on before the Dragons arrived and who they fought the ancient wars against. I would note that I thought Yrth had enough native conspiracies without introducing the Cabal. The Cabal would probably regard Yrth as a bit of a trap being easy to get into but hard to get out of. On the other hand somebody has access to a way off the timeline and loaned it to the ISWAT team. Probably for a high price mind. Multiplanar Banestorms are a bit much even for me, though I did send my PCs to Atlantis on the Pearl-Bright Ocean as part of the campaign called THE SEVEN VOYAGES OF SIR ALISANDE DE LACEY, KNIGHT OF THE STONE. And part of Sir Alisande's saga involved the Jesuits co-operating with the Dark Elves to produce the Targeted Banestorm spell. Which caused a Banestorm to form around a named person. It was excellent for getting rid of irritating people and had only a mild tendency to wear holes in the structure of reality. The stuff on ethnic groups on Yrth is very good. There should also be odd groups of mixed origin from collisions between cultures.

Re: Contribute Something For Yrth
Hrm. I've been running an Yrth game since 1991; I should put some of my old notes together, even though the most recent stuff has been set 200 years after the Demon War of 2001. :P

Re: Contribute Something For Yrth
If Arabian Nights is correct, nonhuman sophant beings like Jinn are considered capable of being Muslim. "People of the Book" seems to have a flexible interpretation anyway and often depends on local politics. Zoroastrians would not be "People of the Book" were it not for the fact that there were so many around at the time.

From Magic Items, the dimensional raft (can't remember the exact name); it's quite clear from the description of that event. :) Doesn't say how he got it, mind you.

Re: Contribute Something For Yrth
I love Yrth! <3
Great to find such thread. My contribution - some txt i've written about Yrth ~60 years later. With less religion, more politics and a technological boost. Would be glad to read some comments https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...FJGyEh2pE/edit |
