I always felt like you could have a monster-of-the-month kind of table revolving around some of the more nightmarish Objects; some kind of high fantasy iteration of the Foundation or the Bureau that’s trying to secure these objects to keep them from falling into the hands of civilians and all that
A lot of why I liked it is you also didn’t need super-deep knowledge of esoteric terminology, like while I appreciate the hard roleplay of the Foundation, there’s a point where the redactions get to be a bit much, and you start feeling like “you made that word up.” There’s something that feels a whole lot forbidden about the Holders by nature of it always feels like you’re reading the journals of the deranged regarding these Objects.
The Holders were so amazing. They directly inspired my series/dnd campaign’s 99 Blessings of the Hundred Days of Night.
The way that the Holders series was written was far scarier imho because of the fact you could supposedly actually go hunting for them.
