…they’ve recreated the old, thirteen-sign Babylonian astrological system. If this cannot be turned into fodder for a “secret history” or “modern supernatural esoteric” role-playing game, then nothing can. Particularly if cross-indexed with the mystical beer subplot from The Drawing of the Dark.

PS: No, I don’t believe in astrology. However, it’s useful stuff in a RPG.
Already on it. Sign of Ophiuchus is old news, as is the fact that precession makes astrology (even more) nonsensical. (Well, technically, it only makes sun-sign astrology nonsensical. Oh, sun-sign astrology, that ancient occult art dating back to 1930.)
But I’m glad someone else has done the math. Always handy for those of us from a non-remunerative humanities background.
“Already on it. ”
Of course you would be.
