It's an action for me too: it's Xathoqqua's Woe for a reason...allowing a move to pick it up and then attack just doesn't seem woeful enough to me.

Are the players literally on tenterhooks for the next session?

Okay, thank you: was mostly curious if the glitch was across classes, or just clerics.

After a party member got very dead they went with a cleric that just happened to start at 5th level.
Funny thing, the pc generator was doing really weird stuff.
As it turns it there was a glitch, error, bug in the code.
The glitch has been fixed.
Hmm, I generated quite a few NPCs (or quick-fill-in backup PCs): should they be discarded, or was the glitch minor?

If so, I missed it.

Ian Baggley's B&W art will always be the quintessential Hyperborea art for me, too.

Done!

Thanks once again! Now the search for hilarity commences...

There certainly could be more werewolves, but I still couldn't find any "control" aspect to infected victims: only werewolf superior have anything like that, and it seems more of a power/domination aspect, rather than absolute control (like vampires have over their victims).

Very nice work, love the sepia tone. With maps in particular it would seem adding or removing details would result in a different creation, but who knows?

So it was the combination of a specific font + the Young Kingdoms that was the issue? Could you reproduce the YK map using a different font (say, Crush Your Enemies), and be in the clear?

Ah, well that makes sense for copying the map, but your extensions would seem to be your own (derived) work and fall under Fair Use (maybe by adding a disclaimer)? In any case, copyright infringement is dishonorable and to be thwarted.

Snag this map while you can, I tried putting link on Chaosium Forum and got shot down in flames. I will be removing it from my Flickr tomorrow, rush, rush, rush.
If folks want the map, I could E-mail it to them?
I downloaded it already, but why was it flamed?

Hmmm, I'd question the causality: the amphora is poisonous, and has inflicted the werewolf, so I think it makes more sense for the werewolf to be able to poison someone else it touches with the same curse. Allowing it to cause lycanthropy without biting a victim seems too much to me, but if you choose that I'd still give the victim a SV. Control of other lycanthropes isn't mentioned in Hyperborea, so I'd also hesitate to allow that (I might have missed the control aspect in the rules). As always though, it's your game.

So the werewolf is cursed by the amphora, and in turn can inflict the amphora's curse twice/day? If that's what you mean, I don't see that as too unusual.

Very nice. I ran my group through the same adventure a few months ago, and they had a blast. I don't fancy the party's chances if just the two of them press on though...
They're all participating. It's just that some of my players are more invested than others. But yeah, that level of participation is what led to the TPK in our first game. Oh well, I guess we'll see.
I realized, once I saw the updates after the first post, that they all four pressed on, so my mistake. Fun read!

Quite literally my pleasure: after over a decade of returning to older-style rules for fantasy role-play, Hyperborea is still my favorite by far, and I've run so many good campaigns and sessions with it. Cheers!
