@sonusrocks.bsky.social returns to D&Ts as we take our first look at Karl Edward Wagner's Kane, a werewolf whodunnit thoroughly deserving of comparison with the ULTIMATE werewolf whodunnit. And we take a look at the Kane/Elric crossover, The Gothic Touch.

One of the venue I'm looking at for this has a room available called the Camargue Suite (which could of course be rebranded the Kamarg Suite for our purposes).
Surely, this was meant to be!

After mulling this over since 2020, this year looks like the year that we'll finally host a Moorcockian RPG microcon here in Bradford. As the patrons were pretty evenly split on dates, we're just gonna do both and theme them around law vs chaos. Or something. Details to follow...

Yes! I have a Young Kingdoms scenario for Barbarians of Lemuria in my bag, but time to think of other worlds touched upon by the Eternal Champion. The Middle Marches, the ice-covered dying Earth, or the End of Time for instance?
