Tonight, I start a brand spanking new Barbarians of Lemuria campaign. Several months ago, my Fate/Greyhawk campaign was winding down, and I put together a poll for my players with choices for our next campaign. I included BoL as an afterthought alongside several more fleshed-out ideas, because I knew it'd be easy to run and I was curious about the system. Damned if every one of my players didn't include BoL in their top choices. The only one even close to unanimous.
I'm pleased with the crew my players have come up with:
Nymox the Red: A red-haired, agile thief with a number of complications in his past. Lots of good work there. Played by a guy I introduced to this board, and who's been cajoling me to be more active here. Happy now, Paul?
Cownann the Bovarian: A Beast-Man from the Empty Lands. He wasn't born a beast-man, though - his family was bewitched and turned into livestock by an evil witch. His mother, now a cow, fed him her milk to make him strong enough to defeat the witch. It sounds weird, but he got the idea from researching folklore indexes. He's right, it's got that weird folktale feel. So I'm excited, because the little bit I've seen about beast-men indicates that they're legendary-ish creatures who may be involved in the next apocalypse. That'll turn heads.
Enhur is an elite guard from Halakh. We've worked out a background wherein Halakh used to be ruled by an avatar of the Sun God Zalkyr called the al-Pharosh. Several years ago, the last al-Pharosh passed on, but no new avatar has been discovered, leaving the city leaderless. The nobles of Halakh quickly discovered that, without a divine avatar overseeing the city, they were free to be as corrupt as they please. Enhur finds that the current rulers of his city have turned against those loyal to the al-Pharosh, and he has no choice but to leave Halakh and try to seek out the new al-Pharosh.
Laurits is a poet, a courtier, and a trickster from Satarla. He'd be at home in an episode of The Jinx, but he'd

I'm not running BoL... yet - but it's next. Right now, I'm running a Classic Traveller Spinward Marches campaign using Fate, that'll probably run another two-three years, at least; and Greyhawk, also using Fate, but that's wrapping up in just a few months. BoL was the near-unanimous choice for its replacement.

Very useful indeed! Especially since I'm planning to run by the seat of my pants...

Thanks for the info!
