Any forum members except IndianaKen who contributed to this monograph?
Anyone that's had a look at it yet?

I wrote The Soul of Ra Mihn Nudal. The booklet represents a broad range of genres: pulp, space opera, time travel, weird war, superheros, pirate adventure, fantasy. The layout is an easy to read two-column with decent-sized print. It was a monograph, though, which means Chaosium didn't include illustrations or maps unless the author submitted them with his adventure.

I'll probably get the two adventure books soon(ish), but in the meantime is anyone able to give a one or two line-per-adventure synopsis of each adventure?

I wrote The River Terror.

Finally got by copy yesterday, and after a brief flip through, I am rather inpressed by the variety of adventures. They are not just different genres, but radically different styles as well.

Hi everyone,

Just passing by to answer this thread at the moment.

I wrote the Burmese Extravaganza. It's about pulp action happening during the shooting of a pulp action silent movie back in the early 20's LA. I am a bit ashamed not having had the time to re-work the maps so they suck a bit but, reading it again, I consider the adventure as pretty cool. Most of the time, I'm not happy with what I've done when I read it again in published format and I don't get this sensation this time, so I guess it's okay.

Oh and, yes, buy it, I've read it all and some adventures rock a big deal, it's really worth it. The Soul of Ra Mihn Nudal is awesome.
