What does an RPG sound like? This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we take a look at some bands that seem to draw inspiration from tabletop roleplaying games. On tap: Hällas, Slough Feg, Shadowland, Castillo, Lost Legion and Castle Rat.

A Remembrancer visits Praelucente

Here it is, TWO chapters of your all-purpose guide to a baseliner's adventures with the Second Legion! Told from the perspective of a Remembrancer trained in Warp phenomena, we get to go on a National Geographic tour of the trippiest planet in the Calixis Sector.

Our tour guide is Primus Lysander, and he's not at all pleased at having to babysit the most accident-prone scribe he's ever met in his life. Chicanery ensues!

Check it out here!

Bookmark it for reference if you ever want to make your own Iridiates OCs like serfs and guardsmen :D The rest of the Legion's lore is here~

I shall take a fun fact, por favor! And if they're not free, then I shall simply steal one when you aren't looking

Uh, no Fact theft, please. That's just rude (and also a crime, I will send the Tumblr police). Do that, and I'll be so sad I'll just lock myself alone in my room and eat kinetic sand (yum-yum!) for a day.

Today You Learned about the IX Hispanic Legion, the famous Lost Legion of Romans that disappeared in Britain.

It picked up the name when it was sent to the Hispania Province by Augustus to fight enemies of Rome, but its most famous station was in Britain, where it took part in the invasion. They went into Caledonia (Scotland) and nearly got beaten, but survived, and there are records of it until 108 AD in Eboracum (York).

And then all mention of them in the records we have disappears.

In modern day, this led to all kinds of speculation, popularized by fiction like Eagle of the Ninth and its film adaptation, The Eagle. The most popular theory says it was wiped out in a battle with the native Caledonian people, though some fiction tries to tie it to Arthurian legends or something. In any case, it's famous as THE Lost Legion, the one that disappeared without a trace.

So what really happened?

Welp... probably nothing so dramatic. Just because no more mentions survive, doesn't mean that it was a great mystery. It's possible that it didn't actually disappear, it just moved somewhere and the record of it didn't survive.

In fact, while we don't have written word on it, archaeology has shown that they were just reassigned to another post. We have signs that at least some of them ended up in what is now the Netherlands, though whether that's the whole legion or just a detachment is unclear.

We don't know for sure, though, and a lost Roman legion sure makes a really cool story, doesn't it?

You look at me like we’re not the same. They clipped our tails and they gave us all new names. You can put me on a leash and tell me that I’m tame, but who’s really in control, the body or the brain?

So like a lost legion soldier went "airborne" but he went through a wall... Guess you could say he was going ghost
