New Blog/Project
Some readers may remember my series of posts on the Fixed World. I recently started another blog which comprises a travelogue written by an explorer (of sorts) of that world. You can find it here.
In case you hadn't run across it, Roger Zelazney wrote a novel about a fixed-sun setting (although it was set above a sphere rather than above a plane) called "Jack of Shadows"....which is a fairly d&d story now that i think on it... Anyway, possibly relevant, possibly infectious - ignore, or pursue, at your own peril!
Is, perchance, a new campaign setting coming? :)

Yes, maybe before or after Behind Gently Smiling Jaws. I haven't made up my mind yet.
DeleteI though the winter people was the next one... and what about Peridot #2? No pressure :)
DeleteAncalagon
The Valleys of the Winter People is more of an old fashioned adventure module than a setting as such, so I class it differently.
DeleteThere will be a Peridot #2 eventually!
Would you accept submissions for the second issue? I have some ideas on Slugmen biology and how it influenced their culture and habits...
DeleteAncalagon
Possibly, but it will be a long way off yet. I'll give information when it's available!
DeleteMight this be the beginning of "The Great OSR Novel?"

MAYBE.

I own Jack of Shadows but have never read it. I'll have to rectify that!
