Imaginaerium, Day 20 - Day of the Prompts

The problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem  
— Jack Sparrow
  Today is the big day when we get the next set of prompts. Don't worry if you haven't finished all 10 yet - you still have the rest of the month to go. This is a marathon, after all.   I might have promised to stream today right after the World Anvil stream! Whoops - I'll be looking at the prompts, the Imaginaerium, world-building in general. Expect technical issues, fumbling around, and generally first-time-streaming shenaniganery!  

Video Recommendation

  Tasting History is a relatively new youtube channel where the host talks about food from history and tries to replicate them in his kitchen. As I've mentioned before, I think food and drink are huge and fascinating parts of a culture - it's really interesting to see how they did all this stuff back in the day!        

Music Recommendation

  Arjen Lucassen is kind of famous on the music scene for his concept albums - ones that tell a story across every single song, in chronological order. He's been in a ton of different bands and appears in over 50 (or was it 60?) different albums.   And this is his Star One album!    

Game Recommendation

  King of Dragon Pass is a game I'm not sure quite how to define. It's sort of an... Strategy-sim-RPG?   Set in the RuneQuest world, King of Dragon Pass has you lead a tribe of Orlathians as they settle the Dragon Pass, battling with their neighbors, going on Quests, and all kinds of madness. It's very interesting how roleplay heavy and world-buildy it is... The way you set up your tribe really influences how you approach problems. If you make your ancestors unhappy by not acting like the like, it's gonna be trouble.   It's a really interesting and unique game, but also pretty difficult until you can figure it out. But it also has an event where you can initiate a lawsuit against a ghost to get them to stop haunting a place!

Without his Abbot’s whites it might be tempting to underestimate him, this paunchy, grizzled man with white stubble and lonely wisps of hair; an old warrior going to seed, with soft-looking hands and an easy blue-eyed smile. That would be a fatal mistake

That ghost lawsuit is a perfect idea for one of my worlds to build on, this truly is an inspiration, thanks Q!

The entire game is filled with gems like that. Big burly barbarian warrior-chiefs can chose to settle their disputes with a poem-duel

King of Dragon Pass sounds like a very interesting game! Wishlisted :P   Good luck during the stream today, Q!

Thanks!! :D   And if you like it, they've released a second game (like 20 years later), with the same setup but played from the perspective of one of the "enemy" cultures from King of Dragon Pass. They're a bit expensive, unfortunately!
