    Veils and Crossings (was: Shadow over Felthera) - StalkingBlue's Midnight game

    The camp is secured, sentries are posted. Apari, who has been praying over Zana's body after Katrin called a moment of silence for the two calualties of the fight and the party's supplies of northberry are passed round for a memorial swig, receives the following Sending from Nayeen: "A Door...

    Changing campaign style - casting for ideas & comments!

    Thanks for more comments, random user! This is absolutely wonderful for me, seeing how you run a similar idea in your game and bouncing ideas back and forth is very inspiring, it gives me tons of ideas and also helps me to define my own concept more clearly. Got it cheers! Nice stuff. I'll be...

    Changing campaign style - casting for ideas & comments!

    Nice detail on the potion especially. :) I especially like how you re-use times and places in different ways, and manage to give PCs/players some degree of control (in deciding to go through gate or towards castle, for example) - and also manage to keep the fantasy flavour, with the ritual...

    How to achieve a swashbuckling flavour?

    Hi r! :) Being one of the two players, I have an opinion of course on how cool and interesting our two PCs are :heh:, but be that as it may ... I've really had fun playing in the game up to now. I love the combination of rogue class, no armour, firearms with absolutely lethal damage (2d6...

    Hi S'mon! :) Mysteriousness will be best, yup. I love the river image. (So would Fjorent of course, in another faraway current way over there.... ;) ) Not entirely sure that the crusade will have to be tragic. Depending on how the game goes I envision all sorts of strange interrelations...

    Veils and Crossings (was: Shadow over Felthera) - StalkingBlue's Midnight game

    Pallas's account, by Pallas's player: We talked that night. I did as well. I was letting the others see me more. They were more resilient than other people I had known. We were facing an important battle. For the first time, we were going to have allies. If they weren’t dead. I took Katrin to...

    Lost City of Gaxmoor - The Borderlands Campaign

    Alliance The Witch starts up, gasping. The third time tonight. The dreams come ever more frequent – and this time, it was very near. *** A lake, an ice film, fragile enough to shiver in the winter wind; yet unpierceable by the Witch spirit who flutters, tiring yet too intrigued to...

    Hi randomling - Thanks for chiming in! Very helpful. Another two or three levels and you should be established personalities in your region - whatever that region is going to be at that point: Erethor, or possibly a (partly) new circle of NPCs who'd know you're getting involved in more...

    LostSoul - Thanks for your ideas, nice stuff. I'm not planning to go for time travel as such, so leaving items in a place for yourself to find a couple of centuries/millennia later won't necessarily work. What I'm thinking of is a 'layer' of memories, events and spirits of people that...

    Changing campaign style - casting for ideas & comments!

    Hm. I stay away for a day and neat ideas accumulate .... Great! :cool: Hm. More detail about the "something similar" please? :) Interesting. As a group we're all very much into player freedom, the chance to actually affect things in game, and consistency in the sense that actions have...

    Changing campaign style - casting for ideas & comments!

    As you may have read elsewhere, I run a Midnight campaign - a game set in a high-fantasy, rare-magic world where there’s only one god (evil) and the orcs are on top. The players play resistance fighters, currently based just inside the edge of the almost continent-spanning Elven forest. I'm...

    And I noticed I overlooked this. Southwest. :) You in London, too?

    Defy elven forest-fighting tactics! (Now open to my players)

    And now I need some cool, nasty, non-magical, easy-to-make traps for treetop places. Especially for waylaying snipers that may sneak in towards a fortified position or a river choke point. Ideas? :)

    Defy elven forest-fighting tactics! (Now open to my players)

    Through observations over centuries and centuries of making slow inroads on the elven forest lands by burning. :) Grunt orcs of course shouldn't be expected to understand the overall environmental impact of their actions, but I'd say it should become evident quickly to any veteran orcish...

    Defy elven forest-fighting tactics! (Now open to my players)

    Yup, but I'd still like to keep ignoring magic in this thread for now. Not all units have magic available, and anyway orcs are warriors first and foremost and want to be independent of spells where they can. Not to mention that far too many tasty and very orcish ideas are springing up in this...

    Defy elven forest-fighting tactics! (Now open to my players)

    Just learnt about kudzu growth rates. Well, blimey! Why did anyone ever start chopping and burning that forest when you can just sit there and choke it with weed! :cool:
