This new fantasy Mt. Everest adventure is so authentic there's a white person on the cover looking to exploit the mountain for their own gain.

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
are there frozen dead dudes strung out along the climbing course acting as macabre landmarks, piles of human excrement, and heaps of garbage too?

ReplyDeleteNot only white but evidently early modern European, based on their armour.
ReplyDeletegenerations of hatred for the local mountain dwellers, who try to forget their shameful history appeasing wrathful gods.
so that's a great example of concision over clarity, but at least they're not enlightened guardians of the mountain's purity?
I'm a little reluctant to judge (but not enough to not post at all), but maybe the adventure itself is fine? My idea of an Everest-inspired adventure would be a LotFP wilderness nega-dungeon with all the things Benjamin Baugh mentions. The only reward for survival being able to say you'd done it.
ReplyDeleteAlso good would be Counter-Colonial style, with the players being the locals seeking a way to stop all these outsiders from fucking up their mountain.
Casey G. I love the idea of a local faction killing climbers and making it look like accidents.
