Neither of which IMO are scenarios at all. Great background, but the narrator has to do most of the scenario-writing work. Iceland is the better of the two in that respect, I'd say.

It can be when character backstory depends on it, but then it's just getting mentioned in new works, not "used", so it isn't too bad. We can just ignore the wrong date.

True. I just mention it as an example of the sort of carelessness that Issaries do and that fan works are usually better at avoiding.

So did I, I think the whole "killing Orlanth" arc is a wonderful step up from the rather prosaic things that went before. But it *was* incompatible.

Which is extremely difficult. And the work should have been done by the people introducing the incompatibility, NOT left to the fan base. Not all GMs are as inventive as you, and I suspect you're underestimating how hard most people find it.
Hang on, I'm forgetting which list I'm on. Am I allowed to compliment
someone here? Oops!
(hard thinking in progress, this ain't easy....)
Jeff, you're an inconsiderate arsehole who just demonstrates your
supposed superiority at making sense of Issaries nonsense so as to make
the rest of us feel inferior.
(Whew! Am I allowed to carry on now without being Immoderated? Or did I
have to get my spelling and grammar wrong, too?)
