72. #FearfulSymmetries (#PelgranePress) Archie and Cassie are dealing with the consequences of interacting with the mythic underpinning of the Dreamlands. And Archie is also having strange dreams, in the Dreamlands, of his girlfriend and snakes. It's all very Jungian it seems.

69. #FearfulSymmetries (#Pelgrane) Even deeper mysteries were plumbed this week. What does the text in the second chamber mean, why the references to the Hyades, and what, dear god!, of the titanic corpses in the third chamber?

65. #FearfulSymmetries (#Pelgrane) Big things happened in tonight's game, sanity was lost and things were irrevocably changed. Great session in the Dreamlands, confronting the mixing of an ancient and a recent evil.

@gbsteve My #FearfulSymmetries campaign is on summer break and I hope we can resume it in September. Anyhow, I really enjoy running your campaign! I have a blast!
65. #FearfulSymmetries (#Pelgrane) Almost 3 weeks without a game 😱. Archie and Cassie find the camp of the person they are following but she has disappeared. What with somnambulant people wandering about the mountain and a stone age encampment made of bones in a forest outside a ruined and abandoned city, there's a lot going on for such a remote place.

55. #FearfulSymmetries (#Pelgrane) Dealing with the fallout from having despatched an old enemy, and now a chase to Mt Lerion to find her ward. But what of the strange symbol, the chimes, the weird bottles? How can a place haunt a person?

49. #FearfulSymmetries (#Pelgrane) - A very fraught
Session 280 in which a major enemy is killed, 187 sessions after the first time. Decapitation seems rather more permanent. Now to undo the dangerous weirdness that she has created.

Lovely! I hope you enjoy it.
Even though it's not your cup of tea, it's been working well online for me for the last 7 years. And @edige23 has an amazing AP. It's a masterclass, and in just ten sessions they did so much! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUKV1MEOXoTXLRSWwuKbCU8g1Tc9Q7v76
44/2. #FearfulSymmetries (#Pelgrane) - And then, having tithed to Nodens, dreams came. Archie and Cassie were in a wood. Wisely ignoring whiffling and burbling, they came across some Zoogs and discovered that being dreamers in the Dreamlands, they could affect their surroundings. Cassie accidentally gave Archie some nipple tassels, and herself a tail. Archie discovered he could understand Zoogs and made an important discovery.

44. #FearfulSymmetries (#Pelgrane) - There was a strange door in the temple that lead to an incongruous hotel. The hotel structure disappeared when it was ignored. It seemed to have something to do with the Windrush Ritual, even though that had been dispowered. And then, after performing a tale about squirrels to entertain the patrons of the White Whale Inn, to bed and dreams.

So, I see you've been branching out from 2D sketches into real world genetic engineering?

41. #FearfulSymmetries (#Pelgrane) - Archie and Cassie continue their exploration of Ulthar gaining more understanding of the Gods with a visit to the Temple of the Elder Gods. They get schooled in sigil making by a priest of N'tse-Kaambl but things are starting to get weird.

32. #FearfulSymmetries (#Pelgrane) - Archie and Cassie make great progress this week, visiting King Kuranes in the Dreamlands and find out not only how the Dreamstone works, but also how it can be used to send things back in time. Perhaps they can clear up the paradox which is powering the ritual that threatens to bring an Aethyr into Oxfordshire.

Here's a podcast in which I talk to the lovely fellows at @magethepodcast about Fearful Symmetries, the campaign I wrote for Trail of Cthulhu. They do a better job of explaining what I mean on occasion, which is how good they are. It's an hour of us on the Campaign: the background, the magic, the Folklore Engine, the History Machine, and then 30 minutes of them applying this to Mage: The Ascension. It was enormous fun!

29. #FearfulSymmetries (#Pelgrane) - The PCs return the horse amulet to Hethra in her barrow and are promised a boon. They follow up with Austin Osman Spare and learn of his creepy experiences with the symbol. He will work on an antithesis. And they interrogate a drugged Hall by making him believe he's passing the baton over to a stooge: most of his ritual was for show, to make the PCs continue opposing him rather than deal with the real matter. The truth feels nearer.

26. #FearfulSymmetries (#Pelgrane) - Archie and Cassie chase up Dyse's old contacts but none of them seem to be involved. They investigate the home of the captured magician and defeat his wards by summoning an appropriate elemental from the Enochian hierachy (https://www.beyondweird.com/occult/heirarch.html). Find details of bookings for Mummers and Morris Men, a palm size red granite stone with a strange rune on it, a spell for summoning a dark servant, complete with a vial of "blood of the Earth".

24. #FearfulSymmetries (#Pelgrane) - Archie and Cassie grab the bull by the horns this week and go all Lock Stock on another magical practitioner. He is bundled , frozen, into the back of a van and hauled off to a special holding cell under the British Museum. He has a strange sigil over his heart, which was also found on a book cover given to an associate. Austin Osman Spare is contacted to help investigate.
