Introduction and Apology In Advance

 

Hello and welcome to my Sundered Isles campaign!  Something I want to get out of the way from the very 

beginning: As I tell this little tale, I am very likely to fuck up.  As you’ll find out, the people of this campaign

come from cultures that are heavily inspired by real cultures from the real world.  I try to do my homework as 

best as possible, but I’m only human and so I’m guaranteed to get at least a few things wrong here and there.  

I could have done a game based mostly on my own culture, but because I’m just a basic white guy from Iowa, 

it would involve moves like Endure Stress when witnessing someone putting ketchup on a Maid-Rite, and 

every Pay The Price would involve a collision with a deer, regardless of whether the character is in a car or 

not.  It would have been pretty boring.

It’s easy to handwave mistakes away by saying “it’s just a fantasy game,” and that’s largely true but also 

potentially very lazy.  The cultures that I pull inspiration from still exist today so the least I can do is show 

some respect, get details right where I can, and avoid cheap stereotypes wherever possible.  When and if I fail 

to do so, please understand that it’s an honest mistake, accept my apology, and if you’re a part of the culture 

in question let me know what I could have done better.

Please note that this campaign is pre-emptively rated Mature for cussing, violence, sex, drugs and alcohol,

 and occult horror.  I can't guarantee that any of those things will be present in the game except for the 

cussing, but if they do show up, don't say you weren't warned.

-Your pal, Glop Demon
