A current kickstarter, with about 66 hours to go.  Sisterhood of the Blade (Anthology) "Three women pull off what was thought to be a man's job in 17th Century France in a new anthology from Battlefield Press." Note that the 17th century is the default time for the official Aerth campaign. Of course, around here, for the AD&DAerth forum, the 17th century only applies to certain realms. Myself, I'd imagine Francia as being one of the handful of realms that has advanced to the 17th c., in terms of technology. See the 2E book A MIGHTY FORTRESS, for more details. |
