It is worth noting that both Scythium and IX are right at the edge of the world. Who knows what weird energies and radiations they get there and the effects they have on the human body, especially over thousands of years.

Not only that, but before moving to Scythium they spent (per the Referee's Manual) "several generations" living in Sharath, which is constantly being directly blasted by God knows what from the Black Gulf.
 

Yes, the idea here is that the people and places of Hyperborea are not a static thing. Migrations, war, disease -- all of these have an impact on the various races of the realm. But then there is the weird and otherworldly impactful events and environments, such as you've cited.

thanks, guys!

just a few final questions regarding the 3e missile rules

Ghul wrote:

So, if a non-fighter wants to, say, move 10 feet and shoot, he or she can move 10 feet, stop, and shoot. They are effectively done for the round.

A fighter doing this, if he's got 2/1, can maybe move 5 feet, shoot, move another 10 and shoot again. If the move is beyond half his movement and he wants to take one of his shots at, say 25 feet, that last shot would go last in the round, regardless of initiative results.

1. if the non-fighter had 2/1 ROF and he moved 10 feet and shot, would he be able to shoot again? if not, what if he had 3/1? if he shot twice while stationary would he be able to move 1/2 after?

2. using last strike optional rule would a fighter with 3/1 missile be able to move 5 ft and shoot, move another 5 feet and shoot and then complete the full move and do a final shot at the end of the round?

thanks again,

1) Yes to 10 feet MV and then shoot twice for non-fighter. If you want to allow movement after taking advantage of being a stationary shooter, that is up to you, but typically I do not allow it -- unless it's within 5 feet. You will find that a lot of confusion ensues, slowing down combat when players are seeking to manipulate positioning after they have already taken their turn. Next thing you know, casters want to move after they have cast, or an enemy gets cut down by player character #2, so player character #1 now wants to take movement after his turn was already taken, and so forth. Can it possibly make for greater realism in combat? Sure. But I feel like it sacrifices the game flow of combat. Again, YMMV.
2) Yes. So, that is an advantage of that particular advanced combat action, should you allow advanced combat actions in your game.

Let us know how it goes!

This project sounds great. Love it.

Our friends at Rolling with Advantage are back with a new Hyperborea campaign! Love how it starts off with Roman soldier in Britain who finds himself in a strange, mythical land...



 

I had the pleasure of chatting with Corey at Lo-Fi Gaming, a brilliant new YouTube channel. We talked about all sorts of stuff, including Holmes D&D, AD&D, Castle Zagyg, working with Gary Gygax, publishing Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea, HPL, REH, CAS, the writing process, and more. Corey wrote the Hyperborea adventure, "The Anthropophagi of Xambaala," which is a fan favorite. Please like and subscribe to his channel, because he's just starting out, and his content is top-notch. Cheers! ~Jeff T.
