THIS IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOUR

This isn't my normal sort of thing; it's very storygame, Not a whole bundle of mechanics. I hope you like it.

When I read This Place Is Not A Place Of Honour it really inspired me; I love the idea of one civilization exploring the ruins of another, and how a game of telephone played over millennia has the capacity to change original intent and meaning. It's a brilliant piece on a fascinating subject and I recommend you give it a read.

I've been toying with the idea for, oh, three years now? I was making it much more complex than it needed to be. I had a whole system of fortune telling runes derived from hazard warning symbols, which was pretty neato, but I couldn't work out a good way to get them into the game. Anyway, have fun! (Or, you know: have whatever emotion you experience when you play two different but equally doomed sets of people.)
