Session 1 conclusion, Part 5: Jamili Legens After a few thousand years of death, my return to the mortal world does not seem to have come without a sense of irony. For my entire life, until my (initial) death, I was a slave of the Sovereigns, or the “Eldritch” as my new companion Ajax refers to...

Session 1, Part 4: Larassamnes Terrera I am among the close circle of Equila of Jehna and Cato, Saint of the High Places. How then did I end up here in this village called Jahennum, a word in the older tongue referring to a place of fire? There were some things I needed to check out to the...

Session 1, Part 3: Ajax of Haigonopolis We got to the town at about dusk and I suggested that we wait for morning. It was odd enough that three dead people would be walking into town; we should at least do it in the daytime. I sat down out of habit, but I didn’t even have to do that. Zaveon...

Session 1, Part 2: Ajax of Haigonopolis I followed that gnome through the wall of mist. Refreshingly, the sun was yellow again once we got to the other side. I however, was still dead. The Median came just behind me. The woman did not follow. It was obvious that the other two were dead also...

Session 1, Part 1: Zyuki Meikai I have been gone only a little while, but the wetness on my hands is blood and I don't know where it came from. I woke in a strange place. I remember something violent happening and then I found myself here. The sun is in the east; it is an unnatural red. I...

My player’s decided they wanted to write this story hour from their character’s perspective, so each character will tell a piece of the story in turn. Here starts our new tale, Chrysalis…

Introduction Part 3: The end of the last campaign The rising sun is red. Behind your group, the mountains wear a nauseous green. There is no doubt that its origin is Koilada Kallandria, the valley whose secrets have defeated you. As you race south, the green taint pursues your group. The...

Introduction Part 2: Song Comes West Following reports of obscene arcane emanations in the west, the Total Emperor gave permission for an expedition to cross outside of His lands and investigate. The official report includes references of "a desert full of things abominable" and "vulture yards...

Introduction Part 1: The Ghinn War War reigned in the year 750 After Proof of Faith (APF). Of the three Great Powers, two were destroyed. South of my homeland, the Sind Empire fell to civil war. One hundred and fourteen successors claimed the throne of Atmananda Sindh, whose pacifist reign...

Plot Lines To be filled in once the story gets going.

Heroes (DM’s note: This is our second campaign. The first ended with the party being consumed by a green wave of unnatural energy. The new campaign begins with their apparent “resurrection.” Thus, most of the heroes have “died” at some point. All will be made clear.) Ajax of Haigonopolis...

This setting grew from my fascination with Bactria, a Greek dominated state in central Asia that arose shortly after Alexander’s death. Anyone with knowledge of Afghanistan, particularly the Pashtuns, will sense it immediately. Persia and Mauryan India can be found, and Scythian nomads ride...

Great stuff, thanks for the suggestions. Anything else before I dump this work on some hapless player who has more time than I do? BTW- The movie "The Gamers" has a character whose player isn't there that day. He just stands around in the background doing nothing. Tormenet

Buy Total War:Medievel or Rome: Total War and play it for a while. You will learn all about tactics.

I’m designing a DM sheet for when player’s are absent. An ideal finished product would remove my having to think about the PC’s actions or calculations. It would also be concise and easy to take in at a glance. So far, I know I want a combat section that goes something like the combat...

Seeking two reliable players to join an established D&D 3.5 group in Springfield, VA. Sessions occur every 3-4 weeks. We play Sundays, usually from 1-6 p.m. Here is some shameless self-promotion in the form of feedback from the game's players: "(I like) the great detail. The feeling that my...

A fight and more complications The stone head of the weapon ripped into Ajax’s shoulder blade as he flung himself back through the waterfall. On the other side, Volgar saw the Ajax tumble into the whirlpool. Then a Grymirri pushed its way through the waterfall, then another, and another...

Grymirri The group wound their way north through gorge, pass, and peak. The goat-trails were so treacherous that at times the companions were forced to rope themselves together. The Sind Killer Mountains did not prohibit passage, but the range certainly funneled travelers along a limited...
