But it's not complete, she still needs a lot of help. ft.gjovaag.com/w/FT_Covers:....

After much searching I've found this which has covers and tables of contents: ft.gjovaag.com/w/Main_Page.

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 18h

We have a big stack of them, and likewise no index. I think the very early ones had one, but that's not much help. Have you tried emailing them?

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 6d

And there's a bonus to playing with the publisher.

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 6d

No. It's a group that meets twice a year and started when the original participants were at school, so over 40 years ago. I've only been playing for about 20 years. Two sons also now join in. We moved from AD&D to 13th Age when the original PCs got to around 25th level.

Good luck!

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 7d

Playing 13th Age from lunchtime Friday until lunchtime Sunday. With breaks for meals and sleep.

It's actually saoul vide, the empty feeling you get when you start to sober up.

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 7d

I hope you find what you need. This probably isn't the forum for serious medical advice.

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 7d

Just find the right over the counter antihistamine.

Very nice work. My gran and her two sisters, mum and brother, his daughter and my sister's son all have it. So it was 3 out of 4, then 1 out of 2, then 1 out of 3, and now 2 out of 3. It's a sneaky gene and I'm jealous. Or perhaps I was just too busy doing maths and football to practice enough.

Land of Cicadas now available free, as well as the core rules. Get some great hexcrawl action!

I played this then ran it, and one of my players has done the same. We've already got three generations of #CloudEmpress.

We played quite a lot of that with David Thomas. I don't remember any of the details but we did enjoy it.

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 13d

It was all cut and paste.

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 13d

Slightly better than listening to the news.

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 14d

I think I can probably still manage three hours about the Interdepartmental Business Register even though it's five years since I thought about it.

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 15d

You're gonna need a bigger hug.

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 15d

In space, no-one can hear you whatever you're doing.

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 15d

I just got Crown of Salt too, after listening to Fear of a Black Dragon talk about it.

Steve Dempsey @gbsteve.bsky.social · 16d

My game of Hot War also spent some time on Canvey Island.

Bookhounds of London, the setting for Trail of Cthulhu. A result of that is my Fearful Symmetries explicitly avoids London, but still has to give an in game reason why this is so.

And Trail of Cthulhu which I've run more than anyone else (and I have written for it, a campaign which I've been running for nearing 10 years).
