Fact: Sawney Beane, his wife, 8 sons, 6 daughters, and 32 grandchildren were a family of cannibals that lived in the caves near Galloway, Scotland in the early 17th Century. Although the total number is not known, it is believed they claimed over 50 victims per year. The entire family was taken by an army detachment to Edinburgh and executed, apparently without trial.

@delukze I like the way you start with `Fact` then write "not known, believed, claimed and apparently"  Aye. very good.

Guys, Is it a legend or a fact? I thought it was real, but on one site said it was a myth. I´m not sure.

[leonardbullhock]

oh, its documented. But in the last couple of hundred years it`s been twisted, exaggerated and added to. I think .

[cupcakeflake]

@jws54 WTF are you on about? The guys are obvioslly Scottish. What do u expect people to sound like in Scotland ? What an asswipe u are. You give us Americans a bad name. If you haven`t anything positive to say then shut the fuck up!.

@assilembrandywine I have wanted to game this out too, only set it in Medieval Russia, just at the time paganism was beginning to give way to Christianity, with partisans on both sides. After the setup (exposition/tasking), there's a detective phase in which the party leads would have to determine the true location of "Beane's" cave, then an assault planning phase, a combat phase, and denouement. On the trail, the PCs could pick up (rent) NPC an archer detachment, guide, etc.
