Today's #witcher RPG session went in a direction I hadn't expected when we started this story, with our witcher and doctor standing at the front of a church with the village reeve, trying to persuade a crowd of nervous villagers that they should make peace with the troll who lives up in the mountains above their grazing fields.

It really made a nice change from "I hit it with my axe"

Mrs C and I watched the new animated Netflix #witcher film, "Sirens of the Deep", this week. The short story it's (allegedly) based on, "A Little Sacrifice" from "Sword of Destiny" is one of my favourites, and I had been looking forward to seeing an adaptation of it.

This wasn't it, and I was really disappointed to miss out on what it *could have been*

Update on the #witcher game I posted about before (see link below).

My players figured out that a troll up in the mountains was stealing goats and meat from a farming village to feed a pack of abandoned dogs that he'd adopted. They figured this out *after* they'd poisoned a carcass to use as bait, but *before* the troll took it and fed it to the dogs. Phew!

Dice.campEd Chivers (@edchivers@dice.camp)Today's toughts as I ran a session of the Witcher RPG, my players are investigating thefts in a mountain village. One of the players has already decided what's going on. They have *most* of it, but are missing key details. The other player in today's game is asking the right questions but the other is off advancing their plans and isn't really listening. I am trying to help here but it's delicate. I am throwing clues at them, they are dodging 99% of them.

@Sven Sword of Destiny, the second #Witcher book, has pretty short chapters (50–80 pages) that generally have new subsections every 10 pages or so. I think the first one is similar, but I haven't picked it up in a while. The first two books are pretty episodic, but after that they start to become one long narrative

StartPlayingPlay Mutants and Masterminds (3e) Online | A World That Needs HeroesThe World That Needs Heroes There have always been great heroes in the world. From time immemorial, individuals were granted powers greater than any mortal should wield. Gilgamesh. Heracles. Cuchulain. Sun Wu Kong. The Hero Twins, Hunapu and Xbalanque. The list goes on. And they fought monsters, villains, and other heroes just as powerful: the Lernaean Hydra, the Humbaba, Enkidu who became Gilgamesh's closest friend and perhaps lover, and Cu Roi mac Daire amng so many others. In King Arthur's time, there was a surge in such things, with many of the knights having powers, like Gawain's great strength which rose until midday; Sir Marrok the werewolf, and many more. Throughout history, we've been told such things were myth. They were not. And in the late 19th and early 20th Century, a new age of heroes began, as magic started to rise once more. Early modern heroes included Doc Bronze, the perfect man, son of the man called Captain Nemo; Sgt. Savage, the first supersoldier; Paragon, the champion of light and righteousness. They faced foes like the immortal Dr. Umbros, still active today; the sinister scientists Victoria Frankenstein and Dr. Schadenfreud, and the monsters they made; and the machinations of the vile Gorgon Consortium. In World War 2, even more heroes arose: Major Courage, the Star Spangled Soldier; Ruka, the Russian Wall; Marzanna, the Polish Goddess of Cold; Bullet, the Supersonic Speedster; and Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot, the Camelot Three. They fought foes like the returned Dr. Schadenfreude and his creation, Sheuzel; and the Ubersoldaten of the Third Reich led by Blitzkrieg, a storm powered villainess so strong that even today she is unmatched, boasting the strength of Donnar. Amongst the Ubersoldaten were Heinrich von Skelt, a vampire; Iron Sights, the Sniper Who Never Missed; Artillery, the one man tank division; Totenkopf, the skull headed Harbinger of Death; HexenWulf, the Nazi Werewolf; and many enhanced 'Einherjar'. They also had to contend with the like of the sorcerer Mordred, the troll Grendel. In the Pacific, threats included the wind riding Kamikaze, the undetectable Kage, and Kairyu the Sea Dragon, son of the Dragon King himself. (Kairyu would later repent of his support of the Japanese Empire.) And now, in modern day, there are more super powered people than ever before. Theorists claim it is due to the rise of radiation and the like, but the magically minded claim it is simply the rise of the Sixth World, a return to ancient magic, and that all superpowers have the origins in magic and the divine. You are one such empowered being. Will you save this unhappy world? "Unhappy the land that breeds no hero.” “No, unhappy land that is in need of heroes”. -Berthold Brecht, Galileo

I bought a Polish book on the history of The Witcher 3 #game development.

Sadly, the book arrived with 16 of 250+ pages not printed at all (in random parts of the book).

Have you seen such a printing error before?

The publisher insists that the cover is not made with generative AI, but all the awkward, pointless details, mud-fur and artifacts are hand-painted by an actual artist.

A book titled "Wilczym Sladem: Historia Powstania Gry Wiedzmin 3: Dziki Gon"
A book with two pages clearly not printed. The pages on their back, visible, have words printed on them.

I have to share it again, this is maybe my fav #book I own. The hardcover of The #Witcher #manga they printed a few years ago.

A nice mix of Japanese folklore and the Witcher's characters.

Beautifully made and pressed and printed. It IS manga, but also has strong #comics and #graphicnovel vibes.

I adore the Witcher universe. I have thousands of hours in The Witcher 3, and the novels, and the merch.

I just love this, and #reading it makes me happy.
