Imaginary Turtles Manifest!

Summer of 2020 Heleen and I joined with a group of writers and fans of Rolemaster on Discord with plans to create a module for the upcoming Rolemaster Unlimited game systems set in the Bay of Izar region of Shadow World.

Through the fall and winter and into 2021, this lead to that and the group, now formalized as Imaginary Turtles, is working on both rules content for Against the Darkmaster and a full adventure arc to be called Falling Skies set on the new world of Ænwyld.
