Yeap, just east of Asheville. To me Asheville (love or hate it)has always been the heart of WNC as ot was the main destination hub in the mountains and on to Tennessee along with its rich eldritch lore.

Not as heavy as the arrogance some display :cool:

Then don't reply it's your prerogative but I will continue to discuss its merits and possibly other superior systems to Cypher and reply to comments in this public forum.

The people of N Ga mountains along with the very NW tip of SC along with WNC and Eastern TN are all the same folk. I have Aunts, Uncles and cousins in every one of those areas. It has a distinctive accent as well, been nearly 33+ years since I moved away and I still get questions about how I...

The Cypher system works decent for the style of narrative game it was created to plays as whereas BRP is much more adaptive to narrative and gameist styles of play or anywhere in between. BRP has many tools and levers to turn and pull to get the style of play that fits your group. It is the...

It would be very easy as the system that CoC runs on is the Basic Roleplaying System that powers a wide variety of games and has a systems book that allows you to pick and choose what modules to use in your game.

That is the ARC map which is not a good representation it is a government economic map that hass had alot of areas tacked and is divided by administrative zones rather that cultural areas. This map was based in the first map defining what was the Appalachian cultural area by William Goodall...

To quote from the book verbatim "Appalachia encompasses the remote mountainous parts of six states of the United States: Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. "

Helen is a beautiful town, I miss living close enough to visit when I want to.

Please tell me how the people who live in these mountains for generations are not culturally Appalachian or how that is collating culture with geography? How are they not culturally mountain folk? Are you from these regions or understand the migration patterns that the people who inhabited them...

The Appalachian trail which lies entirely within the mountains of Appalachia snd passes through 14 states starting in Georgia and ending in Maine. While there wasn't a need to cover detailed information on all of these it was very disingenuous to claim that Appalachia was just in six states...

I grew up in N Ga right where Ga, NC, an TN meet and I can promise you it was deep Appalachian.

You are right it cover six states not four and Boone was the heart of WNC was my bad but otherwise my options remain the same. Leaving out North Georgia in particular was beyond ignorant in my opinion with its rich lore. I wrote that while at work without access to the book to refrence so I was...

The art is good but otherwise a very disappointing offering, never would use the system and the whole Appalachia part is so off and lacking. According to the book Appalachia only exists in 4 states, claims Boone which was an outta the way minor college town of no note until the past 40 years(...
