I wrote the sections in the new book on Ys and the Ska, for example -- or the first draft of those sections, at any rate -- but all that entails is me grafting a lot of extra background detail onto Vance's original descriptions. And nobody can match Vance.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-69943146334284710702020-02-20T08:55:35.999+00:002020-02-20T08:55:35.999+00:00Oh, right!

If this becomes a fully-fledged setting, what will happen to the rest of the world? I assume that the original material only covered one of the Questworld continents?<br /><br />Also, is there any chance that the material will see the light of day in its original form, i.e. with RQ rules?Vilehttp://gringlespawnshop.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=chaosium&thread=75&page=1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-87791594668573217762010-03-18T05:42:57.344+00:002010-03-18T05:42:57.344+00:00Oh my.

We might expect the energy of the Coradian nations to throw up more Marco Polos and Columbuses than Khitai, which is large, comfotable and enduring enough to mostly look inwards.<br /><br />Logic aside, Legend has always been intended as our own history seen through a distorting prism. So, although the Ophis lands are not America, and the Ancient Race are not at all like American Indians, and 999 AS is not 1492 AD - yet there's resonance there with Lief Ericson, millennial panic and a kind of socio-religious radicalism you see hints of in the Crusades.<br /><br />There may be Khitan colonies *as well*, of course, despite the huge distances they would have had to cross.
