Hi! I've got a couple of questions about the "Hunting the Beast" campaign (from OOB): 1.) Movement: " The table below gives movement rates per turn in hexes depending on the speed of the fastest ship in the group" (p.29). Shouldn't that read "depending on the speed of the slowest ship in the...

Only Lone Wolf 1-12 and Greystar 1-4 were published in German translation.

Maybe Inuit Warriors from Copplestone are close enough? (You'd have to make your own skis, though). http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/range.php?range=HA

Something in Signs & Portents? More minis? A free download?

OGL Vikings and OGL Ancient Near East I'd like to see, too. But I guess that the latter is rather unlikely. OGL Vikings should be be more popular, hence a higher chance that it would be published. This thread should have been posted in the folder "What Should Mongoose Publish Next?", though...

Maybe Naar can't help Vashna to come back because he was not slain by another minion of the dark god but by someone of Kai's and Ishir's forces? Thus for Vashna the only way to come back would be to try it by himself.

Just drop them from a few feet above the tabletop and see where they land... :) Or use a deviation/scatter die (or any other method to generate a random direction). Mark the place where all the Giaks transported by one Kraan are supposed to land. Then, for each Giak, roll the deviation die...

I guess we all hope so. Only one release in 2005 (and "just" an adventure module) would be the death of the line, I think.

The section about Magical Combat only says that the INT bonus is used for attack rolls. So "officially" there is no bonus for magical damage. (But of course a GM may choose to change it if he/she likes it better the other way.)

Isn't that the whole idea behind the LW RPG?

Also nice would be specific characters from the books (like GW/Citadel once did), e.g. Banedon, Vonotar, Rimoah, Gnaag ...

Well, as you know Gene Wolfe you know what to expect... But the two "Soldier" books are not as confusing (or confused) as, say, "The Urth of the New Sun" and definitely a fascinating read.

Frankly, I have no idea. Concerning the differences especially between Nael, Vaderish and Aluvian I'd suggest to treat them more as "cultural" distinctions and allow for a wide variety of "racial features" in all those groups (and others, too). But of course that leads to the question what...

"Soldier of the Mist" and "Soldier of Arete" from Gene Wolfe (both novels were reprinted together under the title "Latro in the Mist"). "The Egyptian" from Mika Waltari.

I think your expectations of the core book (which is a combination of a rules/setting book - as you knew before) were and are too high. But you are right that Mongoose should (rather sooner than later) present more and in-depth setting info. Still, I urge you to give the core book a chance -...
