It was good fun for a while, though he sadly lost focus and inspiration while juggling other commitments and it foundered.That's so ambitious.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Love the concept.This is the one I've been playing for a year and a half online with some guys I met on an OSR Discord server.  It's amazing.  We're only up into The Anarchy, as we've been going a bit slow, but I don't think any of us are sad about the prospect of playing this for a couple of years more. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />My brother ran that V:tM game for a few friends. It went for years of real-time and took them from Dark Ages to modern day.  Absolutely epic game that I've heard tales of for years and have a bit of envy about.Re: your second one there, I dig the Persian (with a dash of Turkish) setting from The Nightmares Underneath, which is an OSR (or maybe NuSR) game I haven't gotten to play yet but am champing at the bit to.Really excited for this one.</blockquote>
