Funnily enough, one of my Knights' Seer lives in the cellar of an Orphanage. This Myth might be a perfect addition to my game (with some minor alterations)! The Site is fantastic too. I can see the Orphanage, previously mundane, transformed to torment my poor Seer... fantastic. Thank you!

Developer

I looked over your entry and I think I see what you mean O.o What a coincidence! I'd be interested to know how changing the content to accommodate a Seer would impact play, so please do let me know if you give it a try. Thanks for stopping by! :)

Oh, it wasn't referring to one of my submissions, it was actually the Weeping Seer (There is a Boulder Knight in a campaign I'm GMing). I will let you know, but it might be a while, they're knee deep in The Dead, presently hehe.

Developer

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought maybe you meant the Luminous Seer, which would be interesting. In either case, still excited to hear how things go, but no rush. Have fun!

Ooh this one is SO so good. That site is truly incredible. The feelings of the Mother and that orphanage are so deliciously complex.  I absolutely need to run this asap.

Thank you so much, I'm glad this really resonated with you. Please let me know how it goes, I would absolutely love to hear all about it! I'm very curious to see how various tables end up tackling this one since Mother can be viewed as a simple monster to defeat or soothed via other methods. Enjoy!

I really like the unique Knight and the Seer is so weird! That Myth 'tho, very creepy, especially Omen 6! I love that you give a Site that is equally creepy! Amazing work!

Developer

Thanks you very much for the kind words and for taking the time :)

Very cool entry, I like it a lot.
It also has one of those cool Omen structures where you hear and hear about something and then, Omen 6, BAM, you stand in front of it. What do you do? I enjoy this a lot and will put The Orphanage in a future game for sure. The knight and seer are also very solid!

I'm glad to hear you are going to try using my stuff in a game, thanks! I would love to hear how this plays at your table when you do. Hope everyone has a blast :)

I am obsessed with omen 2: there is a great encounter there that i cannot wait to play through. in fact, I cannot wait to play through it all.
The tables are extremely inspiring and evocative.
Great work!

ps. Edrea is a very nice name

Developer

Thank you for the kind words and enthusiasm! I hope you enjoy playing with this and would love to hear how it goes too. 

Omen 2 is also one of my favorites as I like the idea of two bickering old people with extremely opposite views that are still fast friends, feels real to me, and from the sound of it, to you too. I'm sure the Knights will enjoy that too.

I'm also glad to hear the tables are inspiring. That and the bottom text, like the name Edrea, are places I put more thought into. Thank you again and enjoy!
