Possibly of interest but very obscure: Necromancies and Netherworlds by Darrell Schweizer and Jason Van Hollander. Short stories about a city where a revolution overthrows the ruling priest cast and forces them to auction off carpets that have their gods trapped inside them.

Each move including its own procedures for calculating a bonus (or building a dice pool) would get around that.

Nope, they require a sign in too, because it's tagged as explicit. The USA hates them "bad words" I guess.

Yeah, it's interesting how Delta Green feels so much like copaganda and then the campaigns feel so much like fuck the police.

No joke, I'd like to read your review of Impossible Landscapes, even just for your thoughts on one specific character.

Break into the necromancer's mansion, I dare you.

Or you could worship the gods of luck, instead. Or you could get this illo on a t-shirt, I seem to remember my artist made one.

You could be worshipping the bat god, like that guy on the carpet. Or fight against the bat god's cult!

Yeah that makes sense.

Well, I suppose most people are more familiar with oxen than they are with mazes.

Yeah but he's anthro D&D David Bowie.

Interesting that fauns, satyrs, and baphomet became intertwined but minotaur stayed separate. Did you find any connections in art between the labyrinth and the devil?

Well, monsters do change at different rates. Before rpgs "a medusa" was just a piece of art depicting Medusa, not another name for "gorgon." But Minotauros went from a guy's name to a monster type long before rpgs.
