For those who are interested, my lunchtime Traveller group are tackling The Second Scions' Society (which I ran at TravCon back in 2013 - see After Action Report here: https://www.freelancetraveller.com/features/stories/aar-travcon13.html).

This lunchtime just past we hit the banquet scene and much fun, as ever, with the story telling. The vargr merd went down well again, too, which was fun:

and for those who've not encountered this before, there's an in-game explanation here:
https://www.freelancetraveller.com/features/culture/customs/merd.html

the missing footnote from that reads:
* “The rorrraghz of the pack marks (or “tattoos”) the pack.” Often used in the sense that a pack can be identified by its choices. (Sometimes translated into Galanglic as “the merd makes the mob”.)

and a recipe/description write up here:

now, what can I do with the leftover rum....
