  1. I enjoyed this YouTube short about tea bricks. A lovely thing to know about, and a great bit of historian flavour for #worldbuilding.

  4. Delighted today to receive the 2nd edition of David McGrogan/Noisms’ Yoon-Suin, The Purple Land. The 1st edition is one of my favourite #TTRPG settings ever, full of strangeness & smoke-wreathed, bejewelled detail.

    The new edition is much heftier (see the 2nd pic) & is a very handsomely printed book.

    The 3rd picture shows the two editions together, plus The Halls of the Shimmering Stars in the Deep Blue Firmament, a PDF some 1st edition backers received.

  9. So my latest idea is to ruin #Grimwild using #YoonSuin as a basis.

    I want to run some Grimwild but I also don't want to just do that in a similar setting to other games I've run. I did have ideas about using the same background as the PF2 game I ran, but why not run #PF2 if I want to do that? No, something different.

    I have all the Thousand Thousand Islands PDFs as well which I may use on top/instead. But they are not campaign settings as such.

    (it's odd calling this stuff "campaigns")

  13. #TTRPG

    In this session of #YoonSuin:
    - the PCs solve the succession crisis
    - but the local princelings of rival kingdoms have banded together to march on the Yellow City

    On the other hand, the slug nobles are now defeated once and for all, and the PCs solved the succession crisis.

    One of my players (the one with the dead character) has asked if they can start playing one of the allied monsters instead, a sorcerous creature with the head and neck of a peacock and the tail of a giant snake. The party has dubbed these creatures "noble birds" and made *several* false assumptions about them.

    So today I got to tell them what a chu-srin is 😂

  17. @Whidou Wow you are being on the forefront of new releases and actually playing them. I back 2e myself. Sad to hear the didn't polish the useability for the table.
    With 2e and also I am very reluctant, because they didn't convince me through their campaign and in terms of even disappointed quite a bit with the few glimpses I got from the videos of it.

  21. I ran #YoonSuin 2E with #Cairn 2E yesterday, trying both at once.
    The stronger implied setting in Cairn 2E, mainly through the backgrounds, clashed a bit with the south-Asian setting, I feel like the first Cairn was easier to use with other flavours of fantasy.
    Regarding Yoon-Suin, this new edition should have been the occasion to modernize it. It feels very old school, and not in a good way. The new short adventures felt clunky to use, with no easy way to find relevant info quickly.

  25. @cynical13
    Running:
    * #UVG, 74th almost-monthly session!
    * Just finished a short #BreakRPG campaign
    * Bunch of one-shots: #Cairn, #Swyvers, #YoonSuin, #MailOrderApocalypse

    Wish I was playing:
    * Mythic Bastionland, enjoyed reading it, a nice twist on the #IntoTheOdd formula;
    * My #dungeon23 (lol), sprawling under a parking;
    * Non-horror space-op, I should give one of those #Cepheus variants a read, wouldn't mind some cyberpunk themes mixed in.

  29. Are weights in Yoon-Suin really provided in centinewtons, or is cn the abbreviation of some kind of obscure imperial unit? :blob_gnikniht:

    The chapter on drugs seems to imply that a 100 lbs dose is roughly equivalent to 1000 cn, so it might be a tenth of a pound or something like that?

    Just when I though unit conversions in anglo #TTRPG couldn't get more complex than they already are… :blobfearful:

  43. Played #YoonSuin !!

    We were:
    - a Crab-Man 🦀
    - an Elf of Lamarakh
    - a Human thief

    We:
    - arm-wrestled 🐙 in a tea house
    - agreed to clear a Slug-Man's ghost-haunted quarry in the Topaz Islands
    - found a floating market
    - bought a magic teapot and magic rope
    - under sail, survived a harpy attack! 😬
    - investigated site of an ancient battle & statues by the quarry
    - survived a ghost attack! 👻
    - worked out & fixed what had made the ghosts so mad, then sailed home 😎

    Cool:
