Firehost of Eternal Night
Since the Firehost is very large, it usually splits up in many varied parts,
though most of them have a typical composition.
I used to rarely field an Avatar, nor Support units, nor Guardians: since the advent of V3 I've had to.
I field an army heavy on Aspect Warriors, each with their Exarch, but light on vehicles and fixed support weapons.

I attended a bullwhip handling seminar given by Gery L. Deer in Ann Arbor, organised by a friend of mine who had seen Gery perform at a local Science Fiction convention. Since I have practiced diligently and acquired two more whips: it is boatloads of fun!
I have been running my new game settings, based on my serial campaign concept,
as well as have complete websites: ShadowWorld Mainline, ShadowWorld WWII and Grand Design.
I am working on a new current day ShadowWorld setting, with a new, entirely different cosmology.
More ...
Underworld, though laying claim to prior use,
was renamed to ShadowWorld in the summer of 2002,
to avoid confusion with earlier published role playing games with same or similar names.
It was moved to its own website.
