My players and I have fond memories of playing in it.It was a cool gameworld, and one I intend to dig out my notes for and run again one day. <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=":)" />EDIT: Oooh - I forgot The Fennish - a race living in the Great Morass, using necromancy to animate the bodies of their honoured dead (preserved in smokehouses) to protect themselves from snakeman vampires that came out of flooded monolithic ruins to prey on their settlements. Zombies actually make good defenders against vampires as they cannot be fed upon, never sleep and cannot be charmed. I also developed a vampire slayer prestige class for them.Fun days...</blockquote>
