A weird question regarding the #OverTheEdge #Ttrpg:

If the #Pharaohs have been around since recorded history, and they've relied on human lackeys almost as long as they've been around, then why are their lackeys called #Quislings?

The term #Quisling comes from #VidkunQuisling, who wasn't even born until 1887.

Why don't the servants of the Pharaohs have an older name for collaborators, like #Satraps?

Oh wow. I found an old blog of mine, which has a write up of one of my favorite game setups ever from over a decade ago.

That was such a blast to run!

Escape from Arcadia

second was #AlAmarja by Night, my bonkers #OverTheEdge/#WorldOfDarkness/#DarkConspiracy crossover that I ran using #Storyteller rules, snagging fuel from assorted horror and conspiracy rpgs, Usenet & AOL textfiles, and independent local weeklies. our Al Amarja had vampires, risen, werefelines, alien abductee cyborgs, and boomers from #BubblegumCrisis. (which i still haven't seen, though i scored the vintage DVDs at Goodwill last month.)

2. in the past i've used the phrase "tense homeostasis" to describe my favorite #rpg settings, where the initial world state is like a water balloon waiting for the players to step on it in spike heels and have all the weirdness and badness and adventure sluice out. so i like settings like #FadingSuns, #Exalted, #Eberron, #Glorantha, #13thAge's Dragon Empire, #Threefold for #ModernAGE, #AlAmarja from #OverTheEdge, and the like. sorry not sorry i couldn't name just one.
