A master craft of a short story, masterfully read!
Thank you!! I love this story, and wanted to do justice to it if I could
The Necromancers Handbook is a true gem! I have the map of Sahu printed and laminated. It's clearly based on Clark Ashton Smith's work!
My campaign group is wrapping up a Dark Sun homebrew campaign, then we’re gonna play a short Warhammer Fantasy adventure about unionizing in the industrial city Nuln… then we are off to Al Qadim where I will be rocking Sahu myself. Probably July at the earliest before we get there!
@@thrillingsuspensefantasy I'm a huge fan of Dungeon Crawl Classics. They have a Lankhmar setting and I'm going to place Sahu a bit off the edge of the map. Deserted cities on remote islands are very tempting targets for greedy players!
I’ve got the Lankhmar stuff as well but haven’t run any games. I had a chance to play a few games with Doug Kovaks and Wayne Snider at Origins and loved it! Too many games, not enough time. We probably play .65 times a week with cancellations and kids and the rest of it.
@@thrillingsuspensefantasy I totally understand! I'm a huge Sword and Sorcery fan. Thank you again for the amazing choice of stories!
@@midnightgreen8319 Are you currently playing or running any games? Did you ever get the chance to play Sahu or run it?
D&D owes a lot to CAS. Well read, sir.
it's weird to think that most people get to CAS via appendix N--for me it's the reverse!
Yet another street banger! ✊🏻
Glad you like it :D settle a debate… maligriss (as I pronounce it) v. Maligrees (as I’ve heard other recordings pronounce it)… thoughts?
@@thrillingsuspensefantasy You probably shouldn’t ask me. I pronounce Geas phonetically…
@@thrillingsuspensefantasy I’d vote 🗳 for your pronunciation.
@@blakmajk3512 hey-hey I'll take it haha. I pronounced geas wrong until I was corrected :p -- I think made up names are in a different category. The video next Friday has another very confusing name, "Valdese" which, in context, I chose to pronounce "Valdehssuh" after puzzling for awhile. Bonus points if you know what the story is based just on that!
@@thrillingsuspensefantasy I probably should, but I don’t. My memory isn’t perfect even if I exposed myself to it. That I will research 🧐 immediately, however.
Heck yeah
What would be considered, "low fantasy"? Like, werewolf/vampire romance? Lol. I know what ya mean about the conveyance of that sword and sorcery atmosphere though, whenever I want a sure-fire fix R.E.Howard's Scarlet Citadel does it for me, though I do prefer the Conan stories written by other authors like Robert Jordan over the originals mostly.
Low fantasy would be stuff that has a limited fantasy element rather than being wholly suffused with magic-most Conan would count that way in my estimation! I haven’t read or watched any of the vampire werewolf romance stuff so I can’t comment.
Poseidonis takes place before zothic ( probably misspelling) so perhaps this is the same place at different times or same souls reincarnated and dooming themselves with similar mistakes?
And I'm seeing what you mean by this being like the dunsay tale
And I'm surprised you haven't read your own works on here
