Ah Dread Artesia, the only game my name is in the credits of ... okay just as one of the many hardcore fans Mark Smylie thanks for their support, but hey I'm still proud. :-)

I'm a massive fan of the comics and the game, though I'm ashamed to admit I've yet to actually play it. As I've said to Mark himself I'm just not sure I yet feel like I know enough about the intricate details of the world itself to run an rpg campaign round it.

I do have my ideas for a campaign; basically with the pcs being amongst Artesia's lieutenants whom she leaves in charge and defence of Daradja while she's away leading the war against the Thessid Golan Empire (iirc the details of these Highland captains -names etc- are referenced in one of annuals). The pcs would have to deal with internal fueding and dissension, plots and schemes, and external threats from the pirates and bandit armies of the north, and darker foes from Lost Uthed Mael.

The system is really good I think, but as I say I've to properly playtest it.

we're doing a small story(maybe 4-6 sessions)over the summer while some of the players work at the Scout camp.I've gotten an idea for a longer full campaign but it's on hold until I finish the Scion campaign I'm running.

Has Mark done anymore on the system(more culture tables for example) or is the base book going to be it?I haven't read the graphic novels(yet)but from what I'm seeing on the web it's definitely something I'm going to pick up.I'd love to see more of the world and more products and anything I can do to help in that regard I'll do.

A game store in my area recently went out of buisness so I picked this up for 20 bucks.Settings really cool,character generation is deep,and the rules don't require a lot of tweaking to be playable.The only problem?ZERO support online.No community,no boards,just a site that hasn't updated in 2 years.I'm not complaining if the line failed(Though it shouldn't have with this level of quality)I'm just looking for others with experience to talk with or maybe start a yahoo group or something to trade ideas.IDK just looking for others I guess.

I have a hand drawn map of my campaign world but would like to start modifying it on the computer instead of hand drawing all the countries,and doing another map of the geographical features,and another of where lost kingdoms are.Any programs that allow you to import(scan?) a map in and edit it?Preferably cheap(around 40 to 50 bucks) and not too complicated.

A monk could be turned into a FearBringer.Followers of the way of the Bat they prowl the city streets after sundown stopping criminals the watch can't touch.Aided by their specialised Chi abilities they know that criminals are a cowardly superstitous lot and will try to make them cower in terror before revealing themselves.
-cause fear spell like ability useable once,twice, then three times a day.
-Search and track added as class abilities
-Darksense allowing them to "see" their surroundings like a bat's echolocation
-Powers only useable after dark.During the day they must hide themselves as lazy lounge abouts to avoid detection.

My girlfriend got me a subscription as a gift but she doesn't want to use her credit card online and I lost the card that came with my first issue.Should we just mail a check with a new subscription card to let the subscription department know what account it goes to or just send the check with a note explaining whose subscription this is paying for?
