One more post from this Filthy Monkey Men blog I found today. I have watched a YouTube video about the Neanderthal super predator nonsense. It's pretty fun. Neanderthal's as Uruk-Hai, basically.

    It definitely works well with my favorite version of ogres (from Palladium Fantasy), which are literally predatory, human-eating Neanderthals.

    Casey G. The first edition was a pretty good AD&D-based fantasy heartbreaker that I've often described as "what I thought AD&D was until I actually read it." It's got a lot of ideas that would scare the shit out of parents in it. The second edition is less fun.

    Related: have you seen the Lamentations-based caveman game: Wolf Packs & Winter Snow?

    Casey G. Nope. Lamentations isn't really my preferred game, and I don't know how interested I am in playing a caveman campaign.

    I posited Neanderthals as dwarves but I guess orcs isn't too bad.

    There are so many negative associations with Neanderthals out there - dumb, primitive, brutal, ugly vs the wonderful superhero Cro-Magnon - despite the fact that we know almost nothing, I always get riled when I hear it.
    That might be why I love Jasper Ffordes Neanderthals: Übersensitive Überpacifists who are incapable of lying. Also a neat way of explaining how they ran into a dead end when they met their cousins...

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
