#OctoberWorldbuilders The deserts of the Vastlands are pretty much like our own. The Dead Heart, on the other hand, has reptiles and birds more dinosaur-like than anything else, along with an assortment of venomous snakes, spiders, and scorpions worthy of Australia.

#OctoberWorldbuilders, hello friends! Tell me about the flora and fauna in your desert. What lives there? Also, it doesn't strictly have to be "flora" or "fauna." If you've got something that defies these terms, but still count as living, by all means talk about them!
MonthlyWorldbuilders prompts daily feed card #OctoberWorldbuilders Hosted by Kira of the Wind Week 1: Deserts 4: What flora and fauna exist in your desert? Tell me all about the plants and animals there! (Other lifeforms that aren’t strictly plants or animals are also included!) The background image display trees in a peaceful forest during autumn, with lots of yellows and oranges. It feels very much like October and has a serene vibe

Tengo ideas y sugerencias. Toski no me pinta mucho ahí, por ejemplo. Antes que el friendly Teddy, Beasts whisperer.
Y veo que juegas bastantes cartas que te darían triggers de rampeo/landfall, no te vendría mal Lumra y así aprovechas el Vastlands Scavenger.

i gotta get more into thoughtseizes... i keep talking about it and we gotta just get into it.
Thoughtseize One black mana Sorcery Target player reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from it. That player discards that card. You lose 2 life. “Any dream is a robust harvest. Still, I prefer the timeworn dreams, heavy with import, that haunt the obsessive mind.” Duress One black mana Sorcery Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a noncreature, nonland card from it. That player discards that card. “Magic brought peace to the Vastlands but was soon corrupted.” —The Mystic Age: A Saga of Spells Invasion of Gobakhan One and a white Battle — Siege (As a Siege enters, choose an opponent to protect it. You and others can attack it. When it’s defeated, exile it, then cast it transformed.) When this Siege enters, look at target opponent’s hand. You may exile a nonland card from it. For as long as that card remains exiled, its owner may play it. A spell cast this way costs two more to cast. Defense: 3 Elite Spellbinder Two and a white Creature — Human Cleric Flying When this creature enters, look at target opponent’s hand. You may exile a nonland card from it. For as long as that card remains exiled, its owner may play it. A spell cast this way costs two more to cast. 3/1

My scrying sees this: lurking at the threshold of the hinterlands of Gothic territory, gazing with intent upon the eldritch vastlands☝️

Lest we forget, eldritch horror IS gothic horror, on a weirder scale

Llevo tiempo queriendo meterle mano a Ultraviolet Grasslands. Me parece una ambietación/campaña muy chula, bizarra y extraña.
Hoy le he echado una primera lectura al Vastlands guidebook y me han gustado mucho las opciones de personaje que presenta y las variantes de reglas. Muy loco todo.

Two nomad cultures!
Khurcham (KOOR-cham) Khurcham are nomads of the eastern steppes, and were the last peoples driven from the south. To this day, they wander in loose tribes across the vastlands, following rivers and good hunting with their herds, save for one central cultural settlement around which their society revolves. Khurcham are a collection of many cultures, some prize battle, some are vibrant artists, some are collectors of lore, some are smiths and healers, but most are generally aloof yet peacable, settling disputes via champions and not war. Khurcham live in loose, fluid tribes with many branches, and tribal lineage is stronger than blood. All tribes appoint a chief chosen in non-lethal, ritualized combat to test the physical, mental, and spiritual strength of a candidate. Khurcham faith is best known for the Immortals, people ascended to godhood, and Heroes, those on the path to godhood. They are distinct from the Hero-Gods of Minosmir. Oaths to Immortals or Heroes are part of every day speech, and each one carries weight. Khurcham are steppe natives, with earthen skin, hair, and eyes ranging from blacks and rich browns to clay red hues. Turach (TOOR-uck) Turach, meaning visitor, are the nomads of the northbank and have many names. Descended from proto-Macha migrants who continued to wander in loose tribes between ancient Wayhomes in the wilds. Raiders, traders, and neighbours, the forest folk have a complicated history with their Macha kindred. Turach are a pragmatic people of healers, augurs, and trackers, and forward in conduct, yet seen as aloof and furtive by Macha. In truth, they only reveal their themselves in Wayhomes where feasting and song lights up the night. It is important to them that a Wayhome is never empty. Turach are organized into bands of related or allied families, led by elders who are either the eldest or most respected members. They are representatives to other tribes and to Macha, so must comport themselves symbolizing their whole family. Turach primarily practice ancestor veneration, and their ancestors continue to wander the land. They respect but do not venerate the Macha Triune. They also profess guarded reverence for a witch-like being known as the Nornach (NOR-nuck). This witch is seen as a supreme sorcerer and guardian of the land, though not necessarily the people. Turach share the pallid skin and black hair of their kindred, but their eyes are a deep grey, like neither Macha nor Dunmarrow.
