Relics & Rumors #2!!!!

Hoody hoo! Relics & Rumors #2 was just released today, with #3 coming out sometime before the end of the month. R&R#2 was written almost exclusively by me, with only edits and tweaks done to the final product - or at least that I can see/remember. There were some changes, primarily to the titles of the scenarios, and I'd thought I'd call out ...

* Blackbeard's Cutlass - Original scenario was called "Strike of the Black Thrasher," published scenario changed to "Rise of the Black Thrasher." Not too much change, maintains the gist of the original so I'm pretty OK with that.

* Charlemagne's Crown - Original scenario was called "The Tears of the Saint," published scenario changed to "Saint's Tears." I've always been a big fan of the classic scenario naming conventions, but changing it to the possessive version works.

* Chief Crazy Horse's Rife - This one I'm (fake) angry about, 'cause it was one of my favorite titles. The scenario was changed to "Black Hills Tech," which I feel doesn't capture the pulpy-craziness of the situation. No, the original title would have served better - "Robots of the Black Hills." Period.

* Crystal Skull of Doom - New scenario name is "War of Wasps," which I'm really fine with primarily because I struggled with the name previously. I don't think it had a terribly great name to begin with and "War of Wasps" works perfectly.

So, Relics & Rumors #2 is out today, go buy it and support Ravaged Earth and Reality Blurs.
