at 20:35 | IC: MotW - Guardians of SnowdoniaFor as long as there have been people inhabiting the Wales, those people have known that Snowdonia (or Eryri in Welsh!) is the home of a huge number of strange occurrences. From the enormous wolf killed by the guard-dog Gelert, to the Giant King Idris, to the mysterious lost city of Cantre'r Gwaelod, the area now known as Snowdonia is the source of myths, legends, and strange stories.
Why is this one mountainous region home to so many peculiar tales? Not many can answer this question, but you can. Eryri is what is known as a Borderland: A place where the boundaries between worlds are thin, and things can bleed through. At least a dozen worlds converge here, with the great Mount Snowdon (or Yr Wyddfa), piercing them all. The locals know not to believe everything you see, and not to walk the hills alone. Tourists, on the other hand, seem to spend all their time being grabbed and consumed by beings that have slid through the gaps between worlds.
The village of Gellilydan is a small slice of north-Welsh heaven, home to a few hundred folk in winter, and treble that in summer. It is also home to a group that can only be described as the Guardians of Snowdonia. A group that understands the nature of the region, and has dedicated itself to ensuring that the walls between worlds are maintained and innocents are kept safe.

I'm looking for Monster Hunters! I'm proposing that we use the new Guardians of the Borderland Team Book to defend Snowdonia from outside threats, while also learning progressively more about the nature of pan-dimensional Eryri!
Are there enough folk who would be interested in this, and who would be interested in using the new Codex of Worlds book to play a collected series of mysteries?

at 00:55 | IC: MotW - Guardians of SnowdoniaI'm interested. I don't have the new Codex of Worlds book (unless you count the free quickstart PDF on DriveThru), but if that isn't a deal breaker for you, I'm in.

at 16:48 | IC: MotW - Guardians of SnowdoniaThe only thing that's required is the Team Handout, which I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to share, so I wouldn't worry about it!

at 19:39 | IC: MotW - Guardians of SnowdoniaI have no MotW experience, though have been considering diving in on their current campaign to pick it all up. Definitely interested if learning how things work as we go is fine.

Its a pretty simple, fiction-lead game, so it's easy enough to pick up!
