Second iteration of City of Tishrei setting now available

[raymond_turney]

Hi,

The second iteration of the City of Tishrei supplement for Fire and Sword is now available. While intended for Fire and Sword, a lot of it is not system specific and may be useful to MRQ GM's as well.

There is a map of the area, description of the geopolitical situation of the city, 13 institutions, sample characters, etc. It can be downloaded {along with Fire and Sword itself| from the Fire and Sword download page at:

Hope you enjoy it,

Ray,

May I assume there are also cities of Nissan, Iyar, Sivan, Tamuz, Av, Elul, Heshvan, Kislev, Tevet, Shevat, and the twin cities of Adar I and Adar II?

Hi,

You've spotted where I got Tishrei from, but no, it is not reasonable to assume that the other cities have the names you suggest.

For the benefit of others, I got Tishrei from the Seventh month of the ancient Jewish calendar:

I named Tishrei before realizing that I wanted an Indian flavor to the setting. So I probably won't use the other months of the ancient Hebrew calendar. Most of the other names in the setting are Hindi or Sanskrit or derivative from Hindi or Sanskrit. I think I mixed in some names from the Shah-Nameh as well.

Ray,
