Xochitlcozamalotl

Wednesday, October 5th, 2005

Centzontotochtin, the Four Hundred Rabbits, are having a party, and many of the gods will attend. It is a time for celebration and subterfuge in equal parts. The four principal gods will seek new wives and new alliances.

Ronnies Note

Xochitlcozamalotl uses “cosmos” and “sphere” and does not include “fight” or “pain”. Sphere refers to the overlapping influence and authority of the four player character gods - each represents an elemental sphere. Cosmos refers to cosmos bipinnatus, Mexican aster, a daisy-like flower that grows in absurd abundance in the Valley of Mexico.

The Governor’s Report Concerning the Doomed Assault on the Fire Moon

Friday, May 27th, 2005

The unmitigated disaster on the Fire Moon represents our single greatest defeat to date in the Tornado Nebula campaign. The public demands an accounting. At the Governor’s request we have assembled a Board of Inquiry, and we have called witnesses from the participating service branches, and we will get to the bottom of this matter. There may be praise, there may be heartbreak, but there will definitely be blame.

The Shab-al-Hiri Roach

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

The Shab-al-Hiri Roach is a dark comedy of manners, lampooning academia and asking players to answer a difficult question - are you willing to swallow a soul-eating telepathic insect bent on destroying human civilization?

No?

Even if it will get you tenure?”
