EDSG Episode 173 - Verjigorm

* Our last Horrors episode: Verjigorm * The “Big One”, the “Hunter of Great Dragons”, Earthdawn’s Great Cthulhu * One of three Named Horrors from the original core rulebook. * Entry is very similar to the entry in the Dragons sourcebook. * The “Dark One”, at the beginning, spawned the “Horoi” * One Horoi – Nightstlayer – left the darkness and woke on Earth, saw its beauty, and wept the Nammegivers into being. * Josh speculates how this creation myth might reflect events in the distant past. * Not necessarily intended to be a foe to face directly; like the Great Old Ones from Lovecraft. * Early stats were likely a way to impress how powerful it is. * Summary of game statistics and powers. * Not very active in most recent Scourge, but looms very large in the setting. * Use and presence of Verjigorm in games – Cult of the Great Hunter * Getting involved with this Horror will likely draw the attention of the dragons. * Obsessions: Hunger for power, fanatical hatred of dragons. * Captured numerous dragons during the last Scourge. * This prey is wrapped in astral cocoons that warp them into Horror-corrupted entities. * Verjigorm’s spawn as a campaign focus and epic opponent. * Exploring Verjigorm’s Horror Thread power. * Lovecraft parallels and cosmic nihilism. * More than just a giant sack of hit points. * Most common appearance. * Closing thoughts.   Find and Follow: Email: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeoifzUuBjez9V6wnvzom3g Twitter: @EDSGPodcast Josh on Twitter: @LoreMerchant Get product information, developer blogs, and more at www.fasagames.com FASA Games on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fasagamesinc FASA Games Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/uuVwS9u Earthdawn West Marches: https://discord.gg/hhHDtXW
