Twilight of the Phoenix!

[Ask a Shoanti]

I am very happy to be digging into Jim Grove’s “The Half-Dead City”.

One thing that has just jumped out at me is the footnote to “Twilight of the Phoenix”, the adventure proposal from 2008, which was from the final round of the original RPG Superstar competition.

Anybody else remember the camel chase, the collapsing tower of glass? Or the eclipse event?

That brings back great memories. If you happen to be an Osirion junkie who came into Pathfinder post-08, I would look it up. It might be among the ‘awesomest’ of adventures to remain in concept form and you can already see its formative influence in "Mummy's Mask".

I remember! :)

And it is definitely one of the reasons behind wanting to do Mummy's Mask, and why I wanted to get you to write one of the adventures for it!

Thanks for the kind words!

Amusingly, two of the adventure pitches in the finals that year were for Osirion adventures. Much love for all things Egyptian, and a Superstar fist bump to Rob for getting a whole AP to play with!
