When I started conceiving of, and then playing, Agathia lists I was cautiously optimistic. She wasn’t a blockbuster caster, and there were glimmers of hope. After her five games, though, I think I’ve found a flake or two of gold.

From the Ground Up – Manorialism Pt 2 – The Manor
Manorialism is fascinating in how different it is from how we live. One of those things that stick so largely out to us is the Manor House, what it was used for, how it was staffed, and how it was the focus of noble life. Today, I’m going to focus on the Manor house and its master.
Tour de Cryx – The Agathia Endeavor Midpoint
After a pair of games with Agathia, I was starting to really get the hang of her, and there was a surprising amount of unlocking to do with her. In a fairly surprising turn of events, I think I was starting to enjoy myself.
From the Ground Up – Manorialism Pt 1 – The Basics
We’ve started into the world and lives surrounding the inhabitants of the world. I’ve gone into a bit of detail before on how the feudal system works, and how its people live, but here I want to go a bit more detail about the central hub of feudalism, Manorialism and the Manor.
Tour de Cryx – The Agathia Endeavor Overview
When I signed up for this, I never expected Agathia to bubble to the top right away. After the first poll, though, I knew she wouldn’t be far behind, because the internet is a ruthless master.

Now, its time to dive deep into the lives of the individuals.
Tour de Cryx – The Mortenebra Plan – Retrospective
Well, Here we go.
This is one of the fastest I have ever turned around a caster, and I’m pretty happy with it. Is Morty 2 perfect? Nope, but she is really fun, has some great tricks, and feels good.
From the Ground Up – Relics and Ruins
I’ve been talking lately, about the history of a setting, and how it plays a strong role in how an adventure feels real and stays strongly grounded, allowing the fantastic elements to play a central role. Here, we’ll end our short section on the past with a look at how physical elements play within the setting.
Tour de Cryx – The Mortenebra Plan – Midpoint
Well, I’m two games into Mortenebra 2, and I cannot tell you how much I’ve enjoyed playing her. The plan is solid, though the CID changed what I wanted to start using, and I tested some wacky lists to start out here with. Lets take a look at how I’m doing.
