The Etemmu Within - Episode 3B: The Black Oasis
This post continues my examination of how the classic WFRP campaign, The Enemy Within, can be re-skinned to be played in Mythic Babylon. This study was adapted from the first edition of Death on the Reik, published by Games Workshop and written by Phil Gallagher, Jim Bambra, and Graeme Davis, This edition can be found for sale by Cubicle 7 . Mythic Babylon is published by The Design Mechanism.

| This is the second book in the TCity trilogy, which looks at a hypothetical future society in the industrial Teeside region. Like the first, this book is something of a thought experiment in search of a plot. The setting is explored from the point of ...more | |

| Enjoyed this piece of modern weird fiction, which feels like it fits into the meeting place between Herman Melville's Moby Dick and Brian Catling's The Vorrh, and Mervyn Peak's Gormenghast. It's about Fishboy, who was born a boy but is now maybe a gh ...more | |

| The War In Heaven is written by Paul St.John Mackintosh, who edited our Mythic Babylon game supplement for Mythras and who brought this book to my attention, having been inspired by our research. Naturally, I was curious so I bought myself a copy to ...more | |

Hi Chris.Messaging you again about a SASA online event. About building a community of Ancient Studies professionals who are not members of an academic institution (because the latter don't consider us to be scholars). SASA= Save Ancient Studies Alliance. See "events" at saveancientstudies-dot-org
Hi Chris.Posting a link to a talk I found most interesting. Reading into cuneiform archives from Lagash to discover what responsibilities/powers the queens/king's wives had. The original is on the website of SASA (Save Ancient Studies), but I post the youtube link so you don't need to sign in. I can't post the complete url, but go to youtube and add the following. The conference starts at 1:04:30. Daphne

Thanks Daphne - this is right up my Mom's alley, actually, so the timing is perfect as I'm in gift mode!
Hi Chris. I had a quick look at your bookshelf to see if you had read anything by N. Holmes. She's the author of a series of mysteries featuring the historical personage Lord Hani (ancient Egypt). She has also written some adventure stories set in... ancient Mesopotamia ! I'm definitely going to give her a try :-)
Hello, Chris. I just discovered that you have co-authored a book, Mythic Babylon. Congratulations ! Raising a toast to you.
