fragments of a blue ruin
Last week, the party caroused in an inn, hired themselves out as guards for a merchant’s wind-barge, and explored a ruin that turned out to be the lair of a monstrous Alzabo, which they killed. Our motley crew: Flim-Flam, a two-headed cacogen Adept. Proficient cook, fights with twin pistols. Has a cyborg hawk named Midnight. Findus,… Continue reading VAARN ACTUAL PLAY: SESSION 4
Hypergeometry is the long lost art of folding space and time into shapes beyond the ken of humanity, a mystic practise codified by the great minds of the Titans and held a jealous secret by the Guild of Philosophers during the reign of the Autarchs.
Pursuit of eternal life is not encouraged by the sages, for the Blue and Golden Souls must return to the universal cycle for spiritual harmony to be achieved.

The party consisted of: > Flim-Flam, a two-headed cacogen… Continue reading VAARN ACTUAL PLAY: SESSION 1+2
Vaarn lies at the very end of Urth’s history, amidst the ruin and decay of millions of years. It is known that this is the final age and there will be none after, as the sun grows red and weak and the brightest stars are visible even at noon. Of all the tales of the… Continue reading TITANS OF A FADED AGE
Four months after the initial ‘demo tape’ session for Vaarn, I got the chance to GM the setting again last night over Discord. Despite a few audio glitches I think the session went really well and was excited to play with three new players who I’ve never GM’d for before. This was a new, much… Continue reading VAULTS PLAYTEST 2
Skiff - a lightweight hover-bike, kept aloft by a sky-seeking stone. Skiffs are generally propelled by an engine at the back of the craft. They are fast and nimble but unstable, and can be lethal when they malfunction. Used by outlaws, Hegemony rangers, bounty hunters, and anyone else who needs to make a quick getaway. … Continue reading TRANSPORT IN VAARN
