First Post in The Slug-man Manuscript

 Hello,

To whoever is reading this blog, this is the first post.  This blog is going to be a session recap blog for my Yoon-Suin tabletop game.  

It is my personal version of the setting, trying to be based in the actual myth, legends, and history of the various areas of Asia Yoon-Suin is influenced by. 

The general conceit of this blog is that it is a record of Yoon-Suin discovered in our own world, our own time.  The sections are being written by the characters in the tabletop game, however the characters are probably not typically concerned with giving accurate, exactly-what-happened accounts. They might forget or remember things wrong, exaggerate, make-up things whole-cloth, find inconsistencies entertaining, or could be entirely on drugs or magic-tea either at the time they are writing about or when they are supposedly writing, so everything herein may not be absolute truth.  

I have no idea what the Chinese writing in the photo says. It could be about how to make a toilet for all I know

Yoon-Suin Companion Adventures

This is reference list of things I use when constructing and fleshing out my Yoon-Suin.   It is a broad list of history books, pulp fiction, folk-tales, picture books, and stuff that would be classed as Orientalist in nature. It is my expanded appendix N for Yoon-Suin for stuff that is not already in Yoon-Suin's appendix N. You can use it or not.  It is merely my springboard and I cannot put everything on it because my Yoon-Suin has been created within years of causal research on Asian folk-lore and religion.  Also, I do not endorse all the messages in these works, as written before, some of these works can be classified as Orientalist and though I am inspired by them, that does not mean I want to follow their example and I try to not have a racist, caricatured version of a made-up world loosely inspired by real world things. I am not trying to mystify or create an air of mystery around the real, actual places of Asia. In no particular order: Books: Hindu Folktales P...

Special Report from Another Reality: The Mad Monks and The Doom Pagodas

 This is a special session report detailing my first solo adventure tabletop game using Mad Monks of Kwantoom and Red Tide .  Here I will describe the session as well as give my feelings about the solo experience and my experience with using Mad Monks of Kwantoom . The setting is different from Yoon-Suin, but as well has that Asian flavor so I am using this blog to do the session report. The report is two sessions, one taking up most of one afternoon and another taking up an hour in the morning. Session one was me creating the characters and figuring out how to run the game as well as playing it. Session two was finishing up the adventure. Creating the characters was a bit troublesome since I had to figure out what game I was using since I don't have Labyrinth Lord which Mad Monks is used for. I tried using OSE thief rules for the monks, but found it too bothersome because of the complexity so I settled on using Delving Deeper's thief rules for the monks for ease of use....

Session recap of 03/19/2021

03/19/2021 We left from Arong’s place to head into Fairmead, but not before Ragnar made friends with a crab man—one of the strangest things I have observed since leaving the Yellow City. We stopped at the Sea God’s Temple to give Terry some space to prepare his holy water. We met the priestess there and hired her to be our new translator. After that, we went to the Dwarven Mercenaries HQ to speak with the local leaders about the threat of Ragu Lo. They not only offered us assistance, but also modified our plan to help it run more smoothly. We hired a luxury sailboat that will take us out to the junk, and from there we shall put our plan into effect. We went from the HQ to the hotel for the night. I noticed a fluttering piece of paper, which I picked up. The note was signed by Ragu-Lo... and it seemed that he knows about our plan. It was then that I noticed the moon seemed… off. It was fuller than it should’ve been that night. It seemed like it was… dripping.
