There are of course four immortal souls that give life to mankind, generally represented as three coloured dots encircled by a white line.
VAARN ACTUAL PLAY: SESSION 3
We last saw our heroes executing a Pelerine priestess to ensure the Holy Order of GAEA would discontinue their practise of sacrificing unwitting pilgrims. What havoc will they unleash upon the blue wastelands of Vaarn this week? Our cast of rogues: > Flim-Flam, a two-headed cacogen Adept. His area of expertise is cooking. He fights… Continue reading VAARN ACTUAL PLAY: SESSION 3
YURLING
The origins of many creatures that can be found upon the Urth in these late red days are no longer recorded and the natural philosophers who debate such matters in languid smoke-dappled parlours are guided towards their conclusions only by intuition, legends, and dreams.
VAARN ACTUAL PLAY: SESSION 1+2

This was a new, much… Continue reading VAULTS PLAYTEST 2

Used by outlaws, Hegemony rangers, bounty hunters, and anyone else who needs to make a quick getaway. … Continue reading TRANSPORT IN VAARN
VAULTS PLAYTEST 1
Back in January 2020 I GM'd the first ever playtest of the Vaults of Vaarn setting. This is an archival record of the Facebook post I made about that game. The inaugural expedition into the wastes of Vaarn was a great success from my POV. I had never GM’d my own self-written material before, so… Continue reading VAULTS PLAYTEST 1
GREENGUARD
They come from the depths of the blue desert, marching across the azure dunes in single file, their moss-green plastyflesh mottled by heat damage and their green eyes staring glassily at the horizon.
