Here’s our second episode of Wind Words, where we look at scenes in the Founders Market of Pavis. We hope our audio quality has improved somewhat, but we’re still learning and Bill has a terrible head cold which is why he sounds so bad.

Main Topic: Scenes from the Founder’s Market of New Pavis

• An experiment in setting up a scene for Game Masters, hopefully with ideas to build upon
• Bill is setting the scene
• A party out of the Rubble meets a pair of Grey Sages – Taking a rather ordinary piece of metal ornamentation found in the Rubble as a lead into more Rubble Running
• Why you shouldn’t mess with trolls, they will mess with you. And does eating humans make you chaotic?
• A beggar a bit out of place – the seedier side of the city. (Or maybe not.)
• and of course we get into rambling with each, surprising each other with side issues – the very kind of side issues your average band of player characters will pick up and go haring off on in your sessions, too.

Letters to the Editor

Thanks to Daniel Profeta, aka Dethstroke9, who has a very active YouTube channel about playing Call of Cthulhu.
