Covok posted:It's September now. It's still hot. It's still humid. Has to be the wrap up of an 18-month 13th Age campaign (spun out of the Shadowport Shuffle organized play adventure) wherein the party was a group of literal con artists called "Red Varos and his Fantabulous Wonder Show" who traveled around the empire in the disguise of circus performers (if you couldn't guess by the name) swindling and robbing anyone they could get in front of. Of course, it would never go exactly to plan and more than one performance ended with a bath tub being thrown through a window preceding a hasty retreat. Highlights included the sinking of an airship disguised as performance art gone terribly awry, a naval escapade with Captain Ron (everyone loves Kurt Russel) against a band of evil Devil Pirates out to claim their souls, and their opening a tavern in Shadowport so they plaster the walls with trophies of their various misdeeds. All this culminated into them conning the Lich King himself, tricking him into wearing a cursed crown that restored him to life (after which his extreme age caught up to him and he promptly died). It's the closest I've gotten to a Terry Pratchett campaign and I loving loved it. It's extra notable to me, as the group is normally a pretty grimdarkserious kind of thing.

Ratpick posted:There's a video game set in Glorantha called King of Dragon Pass. It's sort of a hybrid strategy/RPG game that has it all: going on hero quests to re-enact mythical stories for blessings from the gods, ducks, cattle raids and trying to keep the myriad deities from screwing your tribe over. It's pretty much abandonware at this point, and it's a pretty good game for getting a good glimpse of the stuff that makes Glorantha cool. Abandonware? The original is on GoG, there's and iOS and Android version with additional content and some reduced complexity (in a good way), which just got a Steam port like a month ago. It's like the exact opposite of abandonware. Still a super good game and totally worth buying!
