It takes a village....

Have I missed the IC thread, or am I just impatient?

3 questions for johnsemlak;

1. Any chance of us seeing a campaign area map?
2. Is it OK if I take the info you've given out in this thread and make some .rtf player handouts for quick reference?
3. How much of the Russian language are we expected to use during the campaign? Could we keep it to a single-sided page (that seems to work well with the cant in planescape games)?

2 more questions:

4. In combat, do we have to wait until our initiative comes around before we post?
5. When we post rolls, do you want us to post both the number rolled and result (18+7=25), or just the result (25)?

1 more question:

6. Choldony's not very devout, but what warrior god would he most likely call his own (Cholodny's Neutral noncomittal, and identifies himself as a professional soldier)? I don't have Frost and Fur.

 

[Ry]

Even more questions:

7. If our characters are killed, do the alternate players come in, or can we make new ones?
8. Are gnomes from the west, like dwarves, or are they from the same region?
9. What are the Kolduny? What did they do that was so evil? How do you tell if someone is a Kolduny, compared to say, just a Bard or Druid?
10. What western neighbours were at war with the Golden Ring decades ago?

And more...

11. Any chance you have examples of a bylini of the Bogatyri?

 

[Ry]

I'm finding Deities to be the most confusing bit of the information released so far; for example, are Dazhdbog and Khors the same entity? What are their domains? Do these gods actually form a pantheon of some kind, or are they kind of randomly collected? Do they feature in each others' myths? What's the difference between the deities and the Bogatyri? (If you have to e-mail info, my e-mail is rycanada at yahoo dat com).

Yes, you missed it. It is here.

Johnsemalk, if you want I can extract maps from The Dragon and the Bear and edit them (so if you want me to, I can make a campaign map or give you a .bmp to work on or whatever).

9. What are the Kolduny? What did they do that was so evil?

In ArM they are priests of evil deities, or perhaps sorcerers devoted to them. Their evil acts include human sacrifice and the prepetuation of winter and other aspects of their deity's portfolios.
But of course, I have no idea waht they are in this campaign.
