Just realised, looking at the map, the nations are in a quite interesting pattern, have to say.
FYI to Bugwar: in the universe of the books, steam engines also stopped working. He calls himself out on the fact that that makes no sense, but its a way of closing loopholes against any technology beyond the crossbow and windmill.
Thanks for the info Deag; I honestly only read the first five chapters before the Devil-worshiping got to me.
Anyway, I decided to allow steam power, since it would allow us to have some semblance of sense as for why the nations can get so large.
Polar Mongoose! Great to see you join the party. I'll update the map right now. One more player, and I can start early if you all want. Or if the first rolls around and we only have seven, I still think it's going to be a good game.
I think you might be confusing your SM Stirling apocolypses. Dies the Fire is mainly cannibalism, devil worship is more Peshawar Lancers. At least until the later books introduce the Cutters, though IMO the series went downhill after that.
Aren't the coven and that protagonist witches? The fusion of witch stuff with the story was taken juuust a bit too far for me. It detracted from it to the point where I couldn't immerse myself or enjoy it anymore.
And cannibalism is big in both, thank you very much. At least it is in Peshawar, not just DtF as you say. I'm not sure about it being in DtF as I did not complete the novel; I simply enjoyed the idea behind it, and thought it would make for a good IOT.
What are Cutters? :blush:
Eh, almost at the level of arguing semantics. The point is, I didn't read the books fully, but got a fair grasp of them to make a game. Fine?
In other news, Summer Glau... are you a browncoat?
I do offer my complete apologies to any offended party, while maintaining my disdain for such acute backlash for my ignorance. I shall update the OP to cite your game.
funny. I was about to edit that, since I found it. I was looking under forum games, not IOT :blush:
I am an idiot.
