[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 2166294, member: 6957"] Garnett's Homemade Beer is also good for that... :p I used Barret's Privateers too, and also Roger's [i]Nortwest Passage[/i] as background music when running Pagan Publishing's [i]Walker in the Waste[/i]. Ah, for just one time, I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage And make a Northwest Passage to the sea Westward from the Davis Strait, 'tis there 'twas said to lie The sea route to the Orient for which so many died Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered broken bones And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking West I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest Who cracked the mountain ramparts, and did show a path for me To race the roaring Fraser to the sea How then am I so different from the first men through this way? Like them I left a settled life, I threw it all away To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men To find there but the road back home again I have based so many scenarios on folk songs that I have lost count. Reynardine. Witch's Reel Murder Bull, Laidly Worm Ghost Riders in the Sky Old Fid Days of '49 Rare Auld Times Tam Lin True Thomas Unquiet Grave Rolling of the Stone High Barbary Yarrow Wife of Usher's Well (for a Christmas with Cthulhu game...) Greezly Bride These are just the ones I can think of off hand. All are worth looking up. The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
