We're cold. We have a podcast Monday night.

Also I'm a deadhead.

Does it work for a one off or only as a campaign?

I suppose it could work as a One Shot... But the game seems to work better as a campaign.

I wonder if ZDL has played it.

Nope. It has two strikes against it: first it's based on Amber which is really not my cup of tea, second it was made by someone who I would never wish to support financially in any way.

I like Precis Intermedia, the publisher, but one of the authors Brett Bernstein champions leaves me absolutely cold.

Roger Zelazny's Amber?

There was (ages ago!) an RPG based on Zelazny's books. This is the same system, just retooled for Greek mythology.

So I guess it's the Amber game system you don't like. The Amber books are great. SF/Fantasy adventure narrative. One issue with the book is that the protagonist is actually Hitler or should I say was Hitler since the series starts just after that unfortunate episode (from the point of view of the Amberites). The reason I don't think the magic system is good for RPGs is because walking in shadows and walking the pattern are solitary endeavors so it's diffiucult for a party when every time the magic system is invoked they go their seperate ways. Maybe ok for a single player and a GM.

Yes, I meant the Amber game specifically, yes. I really didn't like it at all, and this game is that same game with a Grecian skin.

It's actually somewhat different. The Magic is different, the setting is different and the rules are based more on the unpublished Amber 2e. As to Pundit, I agree with not liking him, like at all. However I really like his games which by and large are divorced from his idiotic nonsense.

I have no opinion on the quality of his games because no money will ever leave my hands to buy them, nor will any of my valuable time be wasted on examining them.

I generally don't buy from people I despise.

Fair enough

I think I recognise this place out of a book I read. It's an abandoned haunted city with these exact monsters. Now if I could only remember the book. Maybe in Wheel Of Time? I know, that doesn't narrow things down a lot.

This is actually from Hollow Earth Expedition.

Cool. The artwork is very pulp fiction.

I had it (in its first edition, I think?) and liked it and couldn't get anybody else interested in playing it. :(

Is it based on "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" or is it just inspired by it?

Inspired by a whole lot of fiction including JttCotE, yes.

I've been doing pretty good. Just dealing with family drama.

Our family drama is down to just me and Vivian so, fairly tame. We're playing a virtual game with kids and grandkids tonight.

Nice!

Tonight on Inspired Unreality our opening topic is NPCs. 9:00 PM Central in the gamerplus chatrooms at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord.

It's been autumn for a while! Mid-Autumn festival is in 8 days and it's a bit later than usual this year!

Awesome, thank you Larry!

Thank you. We have so many creators here. The only way to keep up is by aggregating an RSS feed made up of all their feeds. Be sure you checkout the View Last 60 Items here link. It is the hidden gem of Gamer+.

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

Yeah, I've been reading some of your posts. And they're not all about horror which is great because I'm not really into horror. Now my kids, they love horror. But they mostly play D&D.
