Did you manage to obtain a radium pistol
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky
I didn't, but Si N'te did, from one of the ladies in her sewing circle. She keeps it in her needlepoint basket 'for emergencies'.Did you manage to obtain a radium pistol
Most I ever got was a pair of Colts and a dozen three-band Enfields for my guards from the elves in Blackmoor - 'magic Elvish bang-sticks', Arneson called them. Phil let me keep them, but with the absolute proviso that they were never to be used on his game table or in his game room; he was concerned that the black-powder smoke would stain the drapes or the carpet on the table.
Thank the gods of Stability and Change that the session happened!
...and as usual went nothing like I expected.
We got to introduce a new character, still possibly an occasional guest role - one of my best friends, who is still a bit unwilling to commit to a Friday Night game, liking having it open. But playing a total smartass of an Administrative Priestess of Hry'y with a Very High Lineage within the Scroll of Wisdom Clan - but much fun was had, which may have changed their mind. (As planned!)
Sadly, there was some bad news too. As our Priest of Dlamelish's player got a new job far out of town, so will be leaving us.
Hard to describe exactly what happened here, a lot of it was the PCs getting to know themselves a bit better. Heavy on the RP. Trying to plan amongst themselves how to deal with the Pirates I mentioned in the last post. Meeting with superiors and Clan Elders to set things in motion. And being stymied by bureaucracy and poor calligraphy rolls (yes, the Governor's assistant PC has not yet made his petition due to not being happy with his handwriting). Very fun session though.
So, the session went predictably unpredictable, like all good sessions?
Definitely a good choice for a radium pistol's hiding place, Uncle! And for some reason, the words "Elvin boomsticks" made me laugh.

And that, in my very biased opinion, is the hallmark of a good GM, good players, and a great game session. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out...Thank the gods of Stability and Change that the session happened!

Si N'te isn't a casual killer, but is much more ruthless then I am. The people she kills really do need killing, and the world is better off without them.
This young one doesn't doubt the Lady's motives, Uncle! How would one dare question the decisions of his elders
And the phrase "elvin boomsticks" reminded me of a classic quote from a character who's the perfect example of a person who would get the nickname "dog food" in Tekumel.

Hello Uncle,
So I have been reading the S&G sourcebook. So much there. So much to expand on in ones own games. Since you have been talking a bit about Mars. I have a question about Riruchel. In the book the Professor says that Riruchel is "marginally inhabitable" at the poles. Would you by chance have any insight into that? Any know adventures there that you know of?
Thanks,

PS I'm also been indulging into The Lord of Light. Sam is about to get involved with some demons in Hellwell...lots of good stuff as well!!!
Understood; didn't think you were.This young one doesn't doubt the Lady's motives, Uncle! How would one dare question the decisions of his elders

Yep; very classic!
Riruchel's polar caps are cold, dry, and a little light on oxygen. We did see ruins of some sort, but nothing we could identify. We poked around for a bit, like any tourists in an ancient ruined site, and then boarded the ship to go home.
That's a great book, too!!!
