Somebody (not Jon Hodgson) suggested that the knight on the front of the 2nd edition DW book could have a Union Jack on his shield -- ugh. After all, Brits don't have a monopoly on fantasy steeped in folklore and landscape. One of the biggest influences on DW was Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword. But I have to admit that if you wrenched me away from the British countryside and dropped me in New Mexico, say, I'd find it very hard to tap back into the soul of Ellesland.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-76634311031985765762022-08-12T12:32:45.014+01:002022-08-12T12:32:45.014+01:00"Goblin magic was in the air..." Love yo..."Goblin magic was in the air..." Love your evocation of those old memories Dave; I understand those moments of seeing the landscape with Dunsanian spectacles, so to speak.<br />DW is a state of mind before it is a roleplaying game!

He made the point that DW unfortunately isn't a going concern; there just aren't enough DW players to make it commercially viable. James Wallis made the same discovery ten years ago. But at least we have the brilliant labours of love that Red Ruin have been releasing.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-50704642035378563792022-08-12T05:11:26.877+01:002022-08-12T05:11:26.877+01:00Wow - that is very very tempting for £50.
I hesit...Wow - that is very very tempting for £50.<br /><br />I hesitate to ask but any update on what's happening over at Serpent King Games? Last meaningful update on Cursed Kings on their website was a year ago, and as for Brymstone it's starting to feel like I'll be able to walk there before it's available.<br /><br />I'll have to get JH's artwork just to keep me going!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848530930786042468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-51426678321164179062022-08-11T22:16:14.367+01:002022-08-11T22:16:14.367+01:00It's a wonderful looking thing.
