LV1 Campaign - The Crash Site

[DJ_draken07]

History: Mana Tech Inc. Was invented 18 years ago, Making Items, Vehicles, Weapons, Etc That runs off of Magic Energy, Thanks to The Galolee's Capital (The planet) Ragnorok. Dhaos Mirrodin, The Founder of ManaTech Inc. made a Success in his factories Creating great Inventions out of it, also Making The Army of Ragnorok alot Stronger while in The Age of War againist an Evil Necromancer named Epa. The only bad thing about ManaTech is The Waste it produces called MagicWaste which Causes Pollution, radiation, and Mutantions. (Think of Stream Power but instead of Steam its Magic)




LV 1 Plot: An Traveling Airship had crashed in a Magic Wasteland out in the Snowlands. A search party is sent out to those lands to Hunt down Survivors from The crash. (The Party will meet up here , Some are the Survivors , some from the search party , some will be out in the wilderness) Well after finding the Survivors A wicked Snow storm comes by and the Only piece of Cover is a ManaTech Factory. (Party so Far is a Human-Druid, Warforged-Fighter, 3 more characters need to make characters) (OH and I forgot.. No Evil characters)




What I need: I need to add some more stuff such as Enviromental Effects, Encounters, stuff inside the Factory, Perhaps a NPC with a ManaTech Firearm (1800 weapons and Below) The only thing i Got is a plot, not an Actual Campaign So Please.. I would love some help from you guys.

Are you looking for ideas for what they could do in this first game (first few games) or a general campaign idea that would take them from level 1 to level 30?

Just curious as to the scope as far as what you are looking for right now.

Well first campaign be good , but im open to all ideas. I want to go to lv 30 if it stays that long. But i do have a huge story i do got plan for it but from how my map is for my game. This area is far far away from it

But i do have a huge story i do got plan for it...

What's the idea? Perhaps we can expand upon that instead of coming up with new ones when you already know what you want to do.

Alright here it goes

Story: The Arcane Order, The Government of The Planet Galolee has voted to have ManaTech Law passed. Dhaos Mirrodin the founder has a Grudge againist the Order. Dhaos Mirrodin has a strong hatred againist the order trying to gain their trust so he can pull off his evil plan. Rumor was told to him that a powerful artifact by the Name of Ryuusai was not destoryed 18 years ago (Ryuusai is an artifact created by a DemiGod, It holds strong power but it was destoryed 18 years ago during a big war) Well Dhaos Mirrodin is trying to hunt down this Artifact to boost up the power in His Technology, while this is going on he is having a small group of followers coming with him. Dhaos Mirrodin in my game created all the Warforged, whenever the Time is right to attack the Capital of Ragnorok and Bring down the Order he is going to use a Program to brainwash all the Warforged into Killing Machines under Dhaos Mirrodin's orders. After Dhaos brings them down he is Going to have a World-Wide Monoarchy.

The Arcane Order, The Government of The Planet Galolee has voted to have ManaTech Law passed.

What law? What does it do? I assume it is important since you mentioned it.

Dhaos Mirrodin has a strong hatred againist the order trying to gain their trust so he can pull off his evil plan.

Why does he have this hate? Because of the law they are trying to pass?

he is going to use a Program to brainwash all the Warforged into Killing Machines under Dhaos Mirrodin's orders. After Dhaos brings them down he is Going to have a World-Wide Monoarchy.

All, as in every single one on the planet, including the PC(s) who play Warforged?

 

[DJ_draken07]

The Arcane Order is a Magocracy Congress

Dhaos Mirrodin already has his Law Passed but They are giving him some trouble with other Inventions he has in mind PLUS The magic waste his factories produce. He hated them ever since because he used to be a Congress Member of The Arcane Order Before He got Kicked out.

The Brainwashing will only be to all Warforged, The PC will not be infected cause i was thinking of getting it Removed by A character in his backstory.

Sounds like a fun campaign

One more question...

History: Mana Tech Inc. Was invented 18 years ago, Making Items, Vehicles, Weapons, Etc That runs off of Magic Energy, Thanks to The Galolee's Capital (The planet) Ragnorok.

Rumor was told to him that a powerful artifact by the Name of Ryuusai was not destoryed 18 years ago (Ryuusai is an artifact created by a DemiGod, It holds strong power but it was destoryed 18 years ago during a big war)

Is there a connection between when the artifact was destroyed(or lost) and when Mana Tech Inc was created? Both events occurred "18 years ago" - if there is, what is the connection?

Well Dhaos Mirrodin was making Mana Technology before The Incorpation started.

Dhaos Mirrodin knew about this artifact a long time ago but He didnt think much of it... Well When Epa (Evil Necromancer who Had Ryuusai) had Ryuusai he saw the great power it gave her , thats what gave him the idea to make the ManaTech Inc. as he carefully plans This Rebellion but It failed at first cause the Artifact was destoried but When Rumors was told 18 years later He decided to Plan the Rebellion again.

Interesting.

Ok, so I'm just going to do a dump here of ideas as they come to me...

1/ Sounds like Dhaos is going to be the main bad guy... do the players get that idea or will they find out last

minute or later? Reason I ask is it might be cool to lead them to believe he is the bad guy, only to have him

die in some major catastrophe - then a new menace could emerge from the rubble so to speak - someone/thing much

worse

2/ Mind controlling all warforged is a cool idea and maybe (this ties into #1 above) when he goes to try and trigger this massive mind control, it backfires and destroys him and a large area around where this occurred (some factory perhaps?) - a side effect could be that most warforged immediately fall dead where they are, their 'souls' having disappeared. In the Epic Tier the PC's must go into this area, down into the depths of this factory facing all manner of twisted creatures/technology. Maybe at the center of it all is an intelligent being that exists within the factory itself - it could have the memories of all warforged who died from the accident.

Another idea could be that instead of dying, the warforged are compelled to go to the factory - only they are allowed in - the living factory could have some elaborate way of keeping others out (sensing life forms and eliminating them, etc). These warforged are used to build an entire army of new, more powerful warforged all of which occurs during the Paragon Tier and comes to a head in the Epic Tier, etc.

3/ Maybe Epa is contained within the artifact and has her own agenda

4/ Maybe the PC's find the artifact early, though they have no idea what it is - it could bring them nothing but trouble as many different forces are attempting to find it.

What I need: I need to add some more stuff such as Environmental Effects, Encounters, stuff inside the Factory, Perhaps a NPC with a ManaTech Firearm (1800 weapons and Below) The only thing i Got is a plot, not an Actual Campaign So Please.. I would love some help from you guys.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: Prolonged exposure to the cold could cause problems for them... perhaps like diseases... there is an initial effect. It could last for X amount of time, then it moves on to another stage and lasts for X amount of time, then finally moves into some final stage, etc. Could be something like (random example here)... loss of healing surges > slowed movement > etc

ENCOUNTERS:

a/ Maybe an encounter with some semi-intelligent mechanical constructs... could be like, mechanical dogs...spiders, whatever.

b/ Maybe the factory is an old abandoned factory - could have a run in with some non-intelligent warforged - perhaps worker bots gone awry as they were abandoned

c/ Maybe the factory is abandoned but there is a small town nearby so they stay there. In town they could discover a number of citizens with slave warforged. On further investigation these could be worker bots that formally belonged to the factory - when the factory was abandoned, they were as well and deactivated. Locals from this town went in to pick the factory of valuables, found the bots and used magic to re-activate and put them to work. Maybe one such bot is locked up as "unstable" - "He rants about nonsense"... they could investigate and this bot could have been the focus of an experiment... it could give them insight on possible future events


Anyway, that's all I have for now - have to run to lunch
