Captain's Log: 5th of Kaldezeit, 2514.
Picture, if you will, a gloomy night in the glorious Empire. The cold that chills your bones and the cawing of rooks in the dark trees surrounding the road. A charred body slumped on a smoldering pyre. On this road a frightening, lean man stood. His …
Captain's Log: 2514.
We had caught ourselves some rats but figuring out what to do with the Skaven proved to be the hardest part. On the one hand, they could assist us with the raid on the warpstone cave and brave whatever terrors lurked inside. On the other, they are abominations that ambush peo…
Captain's Log: 2514.
The morning sun made me wish for a stream of cool water. This hamling seemed as arid as the tales of Araby I had heard from adventurous sailors. Harbull is telling me that the word is actually "thorp" for a village smaller than a hamlet and NOT "hamling". Ah. Fair enough. Are…
Captain's Log:
By the holy hammer, I've dreamed things no fine citizen of the Empire should suffer! Shifting shadows of a terrible realm that both tempts and dooms in equal measure. Constantly changing and forming new creatures and things more horrid than the last. I have been given glimpses of a…
Captain's Log: 10th of Nachenheim, 2514.
I don't like where this is going. Nope, not one bit. They're even letting us into their lairs now and inviting us to church! Chaos is... do you think they heard that? I swear I could have heard someone walk by. Probably a "deader"? Let's hope so. I can't b…
Captain's Log: 19th of Nachenheim, 2514.
Most of my time now is spent training at the barracks of the Order of the Knights of the White Wolf. The knights here are almost indistinguishable from the animals they worship. They seem to never shave and fight with an unnaturally savage ferocity. Our mari…
Captain's Log: Still the 10th of Nachenheim, I think, 2514.
Right, this might be it. I'm getting this written down while we take a deep breath and prepare for the worst. We're in the catacombs beneath the Temple of the Ancient Allies right now. At least if we're found dead we can cut out the middle…

The game is coming to Kickstarter at the end of January 2020, translated into English by yours truly. To be notified automatically w…
The world of The Elephant & Macaw Banner is based on sixteenth-century Brazil, the beginning of Portuguese colonization, and adds to this world fantastic elements of magic and folklore.
The information in the game book (including maps, available goods, peoples, prices and so on) is based on the…
Captain's Log: 6th of Nachenheim, 2514.
So we stood there in the laboratory of the dwarf necromancer Annandil. We waited a good moment while he tried to collect his thoughts and explain what exactly brought about the unliving plague that now ruled the town of Cherz- ch- the once beautiful hom…
Captain's Log: 1st of Nachenheim, 2514.
We will let our good friend here risk damning himself with his explanation of this whole sorry affair soon. It is important to recall for whoever reads this the full details of this harrowing journey into the very den of the unliving menace. Yeah, the v…
Captain's Log: 33rd of Vorgeheim, 2514.
Ah by the hammer... I can't win a staring contest with that green one on the ramparts! He doesn't even have both his eyes, for crying out loud! Can we have one of the braves guide it to the other side? It's honestly getting on my nerves. It's …
Captain's Log: 31st of Vorgeheim, 2514.
I think I'm alive. Yeah. Aching head is a pretty good reminder. Not gone down that metal trapdoor yet. Sun is shining bright enough for such a bloody day. Then again, we lived so maybe things will get easier. Maybe I should get u... aargh! Sittin…
The personal journal of Harbull Furfoot
I don’t know what those other two pricks are playing at but fate seems to have spit on me again as I have the gross misfortune to be alone in the company of that oaf Werner. At least the other two on occasion can make for slightly interesting conversation b…
Captain's Log: 30th of Vorgeheim, 2514.
Okay.
Well, let's think of the good news first... I found my old journal. Had to scavenge among the ruins of bloody Wittgenstein but I did eventually find it. The One recovered her blessed blade, a sign of Sigmar's favour. That was good too. Th…
An interesting excerpt from The Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett
"There is a strange sort of a country 'way up north beyond the ice, and strange folks living in it. Gaffett believed it was the next world to this."
"What do you mean, Captain Littlepage?" I exclaimed. The old ma…
Ernesto VH Guerrero 12:50 AM
Without discussing this with the others... I draft a handwritten letter, in the finest cursive writing I can manage. Addressed to Count Szekelys. I enclose a copy of my book 'Dracula: From historical figure to myth'. I identify myself as a GCHQ asset, part of a taskfor…
Captain's Log: 28th of Vorgeheim, 2513.
Going to gain an audience with Graf Boris himself. A proper audience this time. I swear to Sigmar, we all better get rewards for this like a new ship or something... I'm getting ahead of myself.
Rhea proved to be very self-congratulating. She w…
Being an exploration of why D&D is surprisingly good for playing games in the setting of The Water Margin, and how you can do some specific, quite simple things to do so.
Above: your D&D party, yesterday.
The Water Margin 水滸傳 is a classic adventure novel almost certai…
