This is the first autobiography in the series, and appropriately it is dedicated to history's most notorious alleged immortal: The Count de Saint-Germain (who, I am pleased to report, already has a fairly decent Arcana Wiki entry). "You need an artist, a spy, a magus, a linguist, an immortal, an industrial chemist, a con man, an alchemist, a peace activist, a vampire, a raconteur, a conspirator, a lover, a violinist, a mystic, an admiral, a lost heir, a forger, a pathological liar, a general, and a poet. This transmission is certainly fairly specialized and won't be of use for everyone, but if you are prone to using lots of symbols in your campaign you should be able to make use of it. Also discussed are chess as metaphor and ciphers for secret conspirational struggles, and as magically potent symbls which can shape ley lines and mana flows. Along the way, we learn of variants like "Living Chess" where the pieces are played by humans (bloody gladiatorial battles when one piece takes another are optional) and "Enochian Chess", which was invented by the founders of the Golden Dawn. This time, we delve into the past and symbology of chess, one of the world's oldest and most popular games. That's the kind of thinking we need more of in our roleplaying gameif you ask me."
"As late as 1860 chess historian Duncan Forbes announced, based on no discernible evidence whatsoever, that chess was 5,000 years old and derived from ancient Sanskrit wisdom. However, these sales still aren't nowhere near enough to make a difference, so spread the word - and if you have read them, comment on the RPGNet thread to keep it active (giving it good ratings with the "Rate Thread" function probably couldn't hurt, either.).Īnyway, here is the second collection of my ongoing readings, starting from this page:

It seems my RPGNet readings of the Suppressed Transmissions have attracted attention from the Secret Masters - both Phil Reed and Steve Jackson himself comment on the posts and state that they will seriously consider publishing more if the sales of the existing volumes increase sufficiently.Īnd on that account, there is some progress - sales of the first PDF volume have increased by 38 sales, and of the second volume have increased by thirty (and the first printed collection is now "low on stock", although I am unsure when precisely this happened).
