I’m glad to hear that the Swedes knew to respect the king of the woods as well. The bit about the Sami being powerful and scary witches is true to Finnish folklore as well. South of Finland, it’s in turn the Finns who have a reputation for being witchy folk. It appears to be a common pattern.

I guess once you hit the Arctic you no longer have anyone north of you to call witches. You could work this into a campaign world as magic being more present and more powerful the norther you go - maybe the Pole is a magical vortex or such.

Would make sense with the lights and whatnot.

And then, the final boss, the archmage above all archmagi located at the northernmost focus of arcane power... Santa.

Arctic circle = Circle of Bears (Arctos) = Realm of the Bears

[Kagus]

And Santa is definitely not a twink, so, logically...

I'm sure it gets lonely up there.

That is nowhere near what that means.

I'm not as up on my LGBTQXYZ+ terms as I should be. Whoops. I hang my head in shame.

On the other hand, how do you know that the popular image of Santa is accurate?

I have been reading a touch of FATAL and Friends, most notably checking up on 13th Age to see if maybe I was just biased about something the first time I was introduced to the system, and that maybe I was being unreasonable.

Nope. Still looks absolutely abhorrent to me. Time to calm my mind by reading this lovely review of the "It's Not All About Yiffing" (It Is Definitely All About Yiffing) Fursona supplemental to Pathfinder.

LGBT is fine.

Also, the most popular image of Santa might be wrong, but for all intents and purposes it’s the only “real” one, so... Nobody knows it isn’t!

Oh come on, the ancient slavic one has some style.  You GOTTA dig that blue coat instead of that red one.  So much classier.  And his grand-daughter helps too.

Oh, did I mention he's a demonic ice wizard?

Getting just a bit off topic.

I've been drawing up a campaign for a few years that features the prophetic return of an ancient lich who once terrorized the world by using his dark magic to deliver toys to children each year on a particular night.  Someday I'm going to run it during November and December to exemplify just how much of a grinch I really am.

Let me play my Kitsune in peace

"The Earthborn template is designed to allow self insertion characters into the campaign, and will easily allow a player to build their fursona into a mostly balanced player character... one that still has the unique advantage of the player's 21st century mindset."

Still nausea-inducing, but at least it's not one of the many features designed around getting vored. And despite what it says, it's not actually balanced in the slightest.


Aaanyways, I read a bit about Legend of the Five Rings. Seems fun. Seems advanced though, and you'd dang well better put some thought into character background and researching who/what you're gonna be playing.

Shame there's no entry about Gamma World... would've liked to know more about it than "character generation is pretty great".

Well, if you're willing to settle for Gamma World crossed with Basic D&D, there's always Mutant Future.

Speaking of which, I really want to run a game of Mutant Future using a map I generated from this site, and The Metamorphica for mutations.

I've had similar thoughts of running a short campaign about rescuing enslaved elves who are being forced to work in sweatshops manufacturing materials for a giant dwarf known as The Toymaker.
