No disappearing colonies I'm aware of...but the influence of this being was associated with a strange appearance. Perhaps more on that at some point.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-18545612838220340952011-02-10T13:52:07.595-05:002011-02-10T13:52:07.595-05:00Was there a Jamestown or Roanoke sort of colony th...Was there a Jamestown or Roanoke sort of colony that 'disappeared' or 'went native'?

I seem to vaguely remember a character by that name, but apparently not enough to take the reference.<br /><br />Still, if you go with an Amish vibe on the modern Lawfuls, the Ned-reference isn't too far off the mark ;)Haraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864029225698561023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-62526362483387544892011-02-08T17:29:13.217-05:002011-02-08T17:29:13.217-05:00@C'nor - Good thought!

The weird must be balanced with the concrete.<br /><br />I think that conception of the modern Lawful is brilliant.<br /><br />A: No real difference with most of Ealderde, except maybe the nobility is a little more down on it. The Lludd referenced here is the legendary king of Britain and character in Welsh myth, not Ned.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-42603041246693656642011-02-08T16:38:10.121-05:002011-02-08T16:38:10.121-05:00It's perhaps not a big surprise that I really ...It's perhaps not a big surprise that I really dig this post. A bit of historical grounding goes a long way to make a setting more real, imo.<br /><br />I kinda picture the "modern-day" Lawfuls as semi-militant Amish.<br /><br />Q: What's the take on industrialism in Grand Lludd?<br /><br />Also, "Sticklers" is a brilliant name.

WA is an overview, whereas the blog is more granular--except when it comes to the City itself, which is going to get a much more detailed treatment there than it has here.<br /><br />So yeah, the blog and the book will supplement each other.<br /><br />Page count is still uncertain. I'll know more as i get closer to finished writing it.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-29761734917061896252011-02-08T07:31:10.011-05:002011-02-08T07:31:10.011-05:00As always, very interesting group.
