Oh, man. I haven't seen this game in forever!

Okay, I place my seven starters (woodcutter, two miners, carpenter, mason, doctor, and grower/diplomat) in the grassy field. This turn they're confused, but I designate my wagon for dismantling and the trees immediately around me for felling.

Do we get bonuses from completed megaprojects like in the Feats of the Mountainhomes book? Last time I played we did, but I don't know if we're using those here.

Yes, you do, but you're a long way off, Expedition Leader!

In other news, I'm playing as the RNG. I place three badgers on the edge of the field.

Hubris_incalculable, I know this particular rulebook sounds a lot, lot like roast beef, but it's a rulebook. It's just a weird one.

This game has a lot of rulebooks that can be described that way.

I flood the river, in accordance to the "eagle, hipoppotamus, squiggly shape" rules of 2576b.c., as found on the third pillar to the left of an obscure shrine buried 37 meters beneath the western shore of the Nile.

I invoke Runak's Ritual of Eternal Blackness, which covers the map in Complete Darkness and halving the range of sight of all creatures without darkvision. I know that Ye ole Tome of foule Magycks says that it only lasts for 5 turns, but the errata of 1666 made it so it lives up to its name, which makes it last forever (or at least until it's dispelled).

Just so it's clear I'm an independent party without any army or allegiance and act solely as an environmental hazard as written in the Guide to Tacticus Dickery.

I post to watch, as detailed in the 2009 revision of the spectator's guide. I have the requisite share size bottle of Dr. Pepper and the chilli heatwave Doritos.

Are we playing with or without the collateral damage rules for outsiders?

And does enviromental entities count as outsiders or elementals for the purposes of such damage?

Hah! With the Eternal Blackness, according to the Pantshelm dramatic pattern matching rules (Metadrama, volume 7), I get to play Nightmare Moon, and gain control over all natural satellites as long as she remains in play!

I claim the position of Nokzam the Holiness of Fighting (associated with war and beasts), in accordance with 1050's Godhood 127.0.0.1 rulebook (chapter 5, verse 10)
