They used to get upset with their grand kids who used to watch the Disney films and not take on board the folklore. When you dig into the fairy tales some really interesting material surfaces that can really be used your old school games. Thanks for the comment Tim and there will be more to come.Needleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862613451080398198.post-67708132376089544602013-11-14T11:39:40.289-08:002013-11-14T11:39:40.289-08:00rorschachhamster- There's a ton of fairy tale ...rorschachhamster- There's a ton of fairy tale material out in the ether to use and its pretty damn creepy. That rhyme translated into English goes ~<br />"Sleeping Beauty was a beautiful child, beautiful child, beautiful child , Sleeping Beauty was a beautiful child, beautiful child." I grew up with a lot of German, Lithuanian, and lots of Eastern European grand kids of many immigrants who came over through Ellis Isle. They've always been in my collective unconscious and so its really influenced my campaign. I hope you use it and other fairy tales for your gaming.<br /> Thanks for the great comments.

The version you have above is very similar to the one we had.Timothy S.

I thought I knew a little about it, and now I know, how little I know about it... ;)<br />And: There is this children verse, that is sung in kindergarden in Germany, that starts "Dornröschen war ein schönes Kind, schönes Kind, schönes Kind..." and I couldn't stop hearing it in this creepy version in my head, like children verses in movies are always creepy and scary... ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
