Testament Resources

I didn’t find too many fan sites for Testament (tne biblical RPG), but here are a few: Codicil by Chris Heard, this page by Darrel Miller, and the Mythic Vistas forum on Green Ronin’s site.

Members of the public

Get Writing is apparently the BBC’s answer to New Stage, an open online writing workshop/showcase. What caught my attention is the Disclaimer, which starts out with:

Most of the content on BBC Get Writing is created by BBC Get Writing Members, who are members of the public.

Members of the public. How dignified. Even the worst trolling yobs on the talkbacks at ynet, nana and walla, the BBC reminds us, are members of the public.

Look upon her works, ye mighty…

Aya sent me a link to the site of her new campaign,  Ozymandias, which apparently is also tangently related to Sultans of Steam, my own Victorian campaign.

Looking at it gave me a chance to find her art gallery, and the sites for the Amber and MERP campaigns she played/plays in (the former now ended, the latter still going strong, under Dicky’s iron rule).

Magi and Zarathushtra

Wolf-Spoor points to a thread on the RPGnet forums suggesting "Tangent" versions of the World of Darkness, i.e, settings that share the familiar names and ideas but mix them all up into interesting new takes.

The post that caught my interest was a Tangent version of Mage, inspired by Zoroastrian Magi.

Zoroastrianism, the religion founded by Zarathustra, is most commonly associated with dualism, although this is a western misconception. The Greeks and Romans seem to have had their own misconceptions about The Magians (although they note explicitly that they do not engage in Sorcery).

Anyway, although it’s a religion still practiced today, it is also makes a suitably exotic basis for fantasy mysticism.
