Church of Gaming, July 2009 Newsletter, Issue 10
================================================
        
Introduction
============
        
Welcome to the tenth issue of our newsletter!
        
Gaming at CoG at the past month has been - as will continue - with GURPS
Krononauts and RuneQuest Prax.
        
The former campaign has started has led the PCs working their way
through an SS-controlled castle on the northern coast of Poland thanks
to an unexpected alliance between on old German officer and a Tanzanian.
Mystery is afoot! Why are the SS collecting young women from the local
countryside (or is it better that we don't know?..). Once again GURPS
proves its mettle in terms of firearms rules. Guns are very dangerous!
        
In the RuneQuest campaign, a quest for Yelmalio's blood held by Trolls
was diverted by Thornbear and Balastor attempting to raise rebellion in
Pavis. Balastor was killed in this failed uprising and Thornbear only
survived by the intervention of Orlanth. Now the Voices and their allies
have been commissioned by one faction of trolls against another. Who
would have thought the Lords of Light would work for Creatures of
Darkness?
