THREEDOM: MYTHIC BASTIONLAND - Old Men Running The World Mythic Bastionland, the latest game in Chris McDowell’s Bastionland series, was one of the best-smelling books we had ever encountered when it arrived last

This week eminent gamesmaster @kierongillen.bsky.social and I got to talking about Mythic Bastionland, which, by sheer chance, we've just played a campaign of!

Hit or *myth*?

I make that joke several times, so please enjoy the repetition.

Probably not. I still suspect that moment of "the last torch burns out" is shocking but leads to kind of an annoying portion of play.

I guess the difference with my Gazebo example is that the threatened situation is impactful and a bit fiddly but doesn't cause such a huge lurch in the game flow.
