Only two, alas.

And now you have introduced a new generation of #ttrpg players to the existence of this game.

You fiend!

They were fascinated by the fork.

Or possibly disgusted. Either way is good. 😁

The main headquarters are elsewhere, but the guild maintains lesser safehouses in most districts of the city.

But you are right, I haven’t put much thought into whether this is a hub for activities or a place to lay low. I’d say it’s primarily the former.

I suspect that there is quite a lot of overlap with kobolds and household spirits in German folklore.

I suspect that there are quite a few of these in German folklore. I have collected more than a hundred German folk tales of saints and holy people over the last few years, but I haven’t cross-referenced these with the list of canonical saints yet.

I hope “Iron Gods” gets updated for 2E at some point, now that Starfinder 2E has been released and is cross-compatible.

Thanks for this information!

The way I see it, folk tales are basically a bundle of narrative tropes that can be switched out depending on the needs of the storyteller. So when the Wild Hunt narrative spread across Europe, people always tried to make it relevant to their local region. And in regions where there were still fragments of belief in Odin, it is not surprising that he appeared in one form or another - while in others, the Wild Hunt takes on rather stranger forms.

Ultimately, their main commonality is the strange noises you can hear in the countryside at night.

There are a number of tales - Wild Hunt or otherwise - where there is an explicit mention of a “Wode”. I don’t think linking that to Wodan/Odin is too much of a stretch.

Still, the connections to Hulda are far more numerous, which I find fascinating. I mean, in modern discussions you almost never hear of the Wild Hunt being led by a woman, yet I have encountered quite a few such tales.

Done. Thanks for the suggestion!

Curse this mobile interface!

Sorry, I accidentally deleted the link to the article. You should be able to check it out now!

Sorry, I messed up the link. It should be fixed now.

I’ve only browsed through it a bit, but the Occult dragons are appropriately creepy.

Reminds me of the time when my Ulfen human Skald in the Pathfinder Giantslayer campaign died and was reincarnated by the party druid as an ysoki - more commonly known as “ratfolk”.

This was not something he expected, but he reasoned: “I have never been ashamed of who I am for a single day in my life, and I am not going to start now!”, and thus he rolled with it and stayed in that form for the rest of the campaign.
