Oh boi, this is a long one! I played a session of “Thousand Year Old Vampire” and I thought that the story of Assur-Taklaku might be worth sharing. I don’t want to split it into several parts because that might take the tragedy of this story. So here is the complete summary. I hope you have fun!

House Gehwær #17 – Islands in the sun
Greetings and welcome back to part 17. In the last part, Essryd and Moire narrowly escaped a mutiny in the Straits of Sánon and are now on their way into the harbor of Sános. That was the second time that boarding a ship has not always been the best idea for Essryd and her Sidekick Moire.

My wife and I played a coop session of Mythic GME a few weeks ago where we helped a nice old lady on Guernsey to solve the mystery of the dead pelicans of the La Valette Garden in Saint Peter Port. Last weekend we played another session, but this time we met in Chicago of the 1950s to help a Noir-Detective find one Phoebe Roberts … in black and white, of course.

Welcome to part sixteen of my solo campaign in the world of Hârn. We left our protagonists in a dire situation where Essryd’s hore ran for its life after a group of thugs tried to rob the camp they stayed at. By sheer luck, the fleeing horse distracted the thieves enough that they stopped looking for valuable stuff.

This is part fifteen of my HârnMaster solo campaign and we are still travelling the Venârivè region on Lýthia. We are now deep in “unknown” territory, because besides a few articles and a short description in the Venârivè sourcebook, there is nothing really published about the kingdoms we are currently travelling through.

Welcome back after the commercial break. As you recall, we left Mr. Bradley and Ms. Flopinova in the Casinò di Venezia having a rather unromantic meeting. And just to make that clear: it wasn’t Clayton Bradley’s fault that Natalia Flopinova wasn’t in the mood for cozy, informal groping!

On the header above is the Japanese Garden in Düsseldorf, just a few meters from here. I just came back from doing MY garden … which does not look exactly like that … sadly. I mean I really enjoy a pretty garden, especially Baroque gardens and Japanese gardens which are quite common here in my area. Having to do my own patch of land is a major pain in the ass.

Welcome to part fourteen of the House Gehwær solo campaign. Since we left the Kingdom of Shôrkýnè, Essryd and Moire are heading south and are entering the Kingdom of Tríerzòn. A few weeks ago, I wrote a python script, which later became an Obsidian.md plugin, for generating the weather for my campaign. And surprise: we have snow and weather hazards on the last legs in this climate zone. Let’s hope for the best and better weather the coming days, and jump right in.
