Poldark! Goodness me. I remember my mum was a fan of the books when she was young. I'm vaguely aware that there was a TV show back in the 70s. But I assume you mean a new series. I'll track that down. I don't think I could convince my wife to watch Sharpe. I did watch it back in the day. It...

Thanks for all the replies! We've already seen The Decameron, and loved it! I think we watched it all in 2 nights. We've also seen Bridgerton. Again, we're big fans. Including of Renee Jean Paige's butt is an awesome butt. 🍑 Happy to give Penny Dreadful a try. Don't mind a bit of horror...

I do love both those cuisines.

Ah well, thanks anyway. We really need something to scratch the period drama itch.

Those sour worms are nasty.

Hello good people. I've just learned that a favourite TV guilty pleasure, The Serpent Queen, has been cancelled. There will be no 3rd season. Sad times. I will be the first to admit, it aint great TV. I said trash in the thread title and I meant it. But my wife and I now have a serpent shaped...

Aldous Huxley.

True that.

I dunno, I like my post-gym high. All that enorphin, dopamine, seratonin. Makes the suffering worth it. Truthfully, it really helps with my mental health. I have mild but chronic depression, exercise is a great help.

Example of a non-humanocentric campaign: My wife ran a (sadly short lived) campaign in a setting based on the Jataka Tales. The Jataka Tales are Buddhist fables in which all(?) the characters are animals. So for the setting that meant the only available player species were the animal ones...

"When a gnome and troll love one another very much... "

Nice! I'll admit that I've never really thought about this aspect of any of my campaigns. One question, and sorry if I missed it in the OP, but where does the fey aspect come from? Is it another type of angelic/devilish experimentation? Or is there a parallel world bleeding into this one?

Yeah, I agree. The lack of cosmopolitan centres strikes me as weird. Every major trade centre we know about throughout history has been a cosmopolitan meeting place of many cultures. And people from those many cultures have settled in those trade centres. Makes sense that there'd be plenty of...

My Greyhawk game still has the setting as being pretty humanocentric. But not as much as the official sources. Since it's set post-Greyhawk Wars there's been a lot of displaced population. This has led to Greyhawk City becoming a real melting pot city. I've added suburbs outisde the city walls...

Needs more apostrophes. Sorry, I mean, A'pos'tro'p'hes

Oh yeah. That's a great choice. About the worst thing I can say about it is the climate is a little cold for my liking. D'oh! I shoulda known that. In my defence, it's a truly un-Elven sounding name.

Oddly, I heard about them just last week myself.

I too play my elves pretty racist. Non elves won't find Celene very welcoming. Elves, on the other hand would find it pretty safe and quiet. Agree on the City of Greyhawk. Plenty of ways for a PC to get shivved there. But the City itself is eternal. Does Yeomanry get caught up in the Against...

@Tonguez, sounds like you run a more religiously intolerant Veluna than me. But I get your point, it's a theocracy.

I'm just hurt that there's no love spell practitioners in my locale. Feeling very rejected. :.-(
