We'll be returning to our regular fare next week with an exploration of the Star Portals in Fringeworthy.

This week we continue to examine specific examples of supernatural creatures, the medusa sisters and Evil ghosts, for what kinds of banes would hurt or banish them.  Finally we suggest example movies to use for bane detection and just good fun.

We've talked about banes before.  They are the special weaknesses that most supernatural creature have.  Knowing them and how to trigger them can spell the difference between defeating the supernatural threat and being lunch.    This week we begin our discussion on how to detect and deduce these weaknesses.

This week we continue or discussion of how to handle first contact with competing exploration and expansion groups.

This week we return to Fringeworthy, although the subject matter is true of all contact with another powerful group. We explore what happens when you mean a competing exploration and perhaps imperialistic group that may be superior to your own in technology or tactics.
