I'm trying to figure out what story or stories are the inspiration for elements in the Lamia's Heart
I know that Rats In the walls was inspiration for H.P. Lovecraft's story of the same name, and it looks like The Brazen Bull drew some inspiration for the Simon Whitechapel story of the same name or from the historical brazen bull.
The Simon Whitechapel story was a Clark Ashton Smith tribute story and is available online on the Eldritch Dark website, which is a Clark Ashton website. Link bellow is for the story.
Note: If you look in the Tribute Short Stories section of the Eldritch Dark you can find Simon's other stories, like the Return of the Cryomancer
Link to Wikipedia for the historic brazen bull.
So what was the story or stories was used for inspiration for the Lamia's Heart?

Red Tide was originally a MUSH that Kevin did for 3.5 D&D. Kevin also did a FATE version that changed the setting details a bit. I was able to download the MUSH's old maps and a lot of the character, etc, a few years back along with the FATE version of Red Tide Kevin did by waybacking the MUSH's site.
The version of the Red Tide setting that is for sale now changed the setting up a bit and advanced the time line a bit. The current version is designed for Labyrinth Lord
The Scarlet Heroes game is in the Red Tide setting, but timeline was advanced slightly. The quick start version also has some stuff not in the full version.
Kevin hasn't released yet the free Wolves of God Art Pack to everyone, only the Kickstarter backers have a folder link to it, release to everyone got delayed last year, if your curious why it isn't on DtRPG.
I recommend you get everything Kevin has on DtRPG too when you can.
Kevin is also real good at answering questions if you ever need to email him with questions about his products.

I did these Mi-Go renders a few years back for mapping assets and for token to use a few year back. 1 is a front view and another is a dead Mi-Go. I didn't add in drop shadows as some mapping programs will automatically add drop shadows and it isn't difficult to add them if you are going to use them as tokens or are using them as mapping assets for a program that doesn't add them automatically if you. You may also want to scale the images down a little as I always make them bigger than needed.

Hello,
my name is Jay.
I'm new to AS&SH. I went and snagged the Humble Bundle and then went and purchased all the other other North Wind stuff on Drivethu that wasn't in the bundle..
I've been playing RPGs since 1977 on and off. Was playing wargames a year or 2 before. I also do 3d art work and have way too many mapping programs that I play with.
I have been impressed with the North Wind products and got to run Rats in the Walls over the weekend for some friends. The North Wind modules have an old Conan comic book vibe to them that most of my older players I'm sure are going to love when I get around to running the others.
Anyway looking forward to getting any new stuff North Wind releases.
