Age of Worms?

Lonely Tylenol · Oct 11, 2005

Pardon if the answer to this question is "yes," but is there an Age of Worms thread currently running somewhere? If there is, I can't find it. I'd like to see how that campaign is working out for people, since I'm planning to run it myself the next time I start a campaign.

If there isn't such a thread, well, how's it going?

Here's a couple of threads I found. Don't know if they are what you are looking for.

Dumb Question: What is Age of Worms

Before I asked this question, I performed a Google search. I deduced that it's a series of "adventure paths" from Dungeon Magazine, but that's doesn't help much. Is it more or less a setting like Forgotten Realms or Eberron?

No, no, it's just a series of modules from 1st to 20th level with one overarching plotline. The default setting is Greyhawk Lite (all the calories, half the flavor!), but the Age of Worms Overload document has notes for Eberron and FR conversions.

Demiurge out.

I'm DM'ing Age of Worms but I'm using WFRP and the old world for the game system and campaign world.

Ah, I think I get it; 1-20 level seems to all the rage. I still have one of the originals mega campaigns, Night Below.

What's the main "hook" that makes Age of Worms special?

The Apocalypse.

Specifically, the titular Age of Worms, a supposed era of the decay of all things. The players get caught up in it, and eventually have to fight the undead godling Kyuss to prevent it.

Demiurge out.

I'm in one on this board. Branding Oppertunity is runing a second game, and then there's a third one also running here.

No kidding. The most recent adventure (for only 9th level!) could pretty easily lead to [sblock] several thousand citizens of Greyhawk being converted into wights. While they're standing amidst a crowd of 15-18 thousand people. Yow! [/sblock]
