Join the Navy and see the world!

I'm planning to test Godlike with an adventure that will probably last a couple of sessions and is kind of in continuity with our finished Shadows of Yog-Sothoth campaign. I wrote an entirely too elaborate introduction to assist in character creation, if you care to take a look.

I don't intend to bring Cthulhoid monstrosities into Godlike. The sole surviving PC from earlier is going to be an NPC talent in this game, that's all.

Howardian summer

No, I don't intend to conquer myself a kingdom this summer and rule it by my mighty thews and this axe. Pitiful, I know. Instead I shall test The Savage World of Solomon Kane on some friends who are fans of Conan and Robert E. Howard in general. It seems that PEG have pulled out all the stops when creating Kane. It's a very handsome and sturdy hardback, certainly the best-looking book of theirs I have seen. The writing feels appropriate for the theme, too, and Kane should be exactly the kind of game the Savage Worlds rules were made for. We're going to have a character generation session tomorrow.

I'll also get to play a Howardian hero, as our Call of Cthulhu GM has promised to run a few sessions of Mongoose's d20 Conan.

To make sure I don't suffer any withdrawal symptoms between sessions, I have ordered no less than three collections of REH short stories and a like number of The Savage Sword of Conan reprint collections.
