Malvoisin's War of the Burning Sky PbP

[RangerWickett]

This thread has me very interested. If you have any questions at all about the campaign saga, just ask. I want your game to go as smoothly as possible, and getting feedback will help us know if we made any assumptions or forgot to mention some key things.

For instance, in my original idea, the nation of Morrus had fallen several decades ago, so any people who fought against Ragesia to defend Morrus would be rather old now, if they were humans. But it's easy enough to have the timeline a little different, or to have a character be the child of a Morrusite.

As to the first adventure (which I wrote), I recommended that the easiest start is for the party to be involved in the Gate Pass resistance. They might not all know each other, but they might have been called together to work on a mission.

The adventure is in layout now. I can't guarantee it will be ready before Monday, though.

I love the Internet.

Coldan was not designed to have been around during the fall of Morrus, but long after, so that isn't a problem for him. Don't know about Erekose's character.

I hate having a nation called Morrus in there.

I know this may be a lame duck question to ask, but where exactly climate wise are we supposed to begin with. For some strange reason, I keep thinking of these as Northern countries, but if they are down in tropical climates, I may need to rework some things..

And with all being in the resistance, I say let the joined b/g ideas begin flowing.

 

[Erekose13]

Long after as well. Sorry Morrus, it was just too tempting to create a character from there. Price of fame I guess

It is like you have your own little Isreal..

Hmm...it looks like only Markus and Fae took an affiliation--did the rest of you realise you get a free bonus feat?

Markus is already affiliated with the Resistance, but Fae is not. She has done some work for them before though (she most assuredly worked alone though, since she had been doing Cloak and Dagger antics, espionage, and smuggling), so she could certainly be called by them, but that isn't a very good hook for her. I don't like to be unhelpful in setting up the adventure, though, so once we get a basic description of the set-up, I will either write a better hook for Fae myself (with Mal's approval) or just bite the hook anyway. Semi-importantly, the Resistance know her by the name of Naucrate.

Actually, I didn't like it either--it just jarred me every time I saw it because I thought of you. It's the same reason if a player tries to name their Wizard Gandalf, Merlin, Harry Potter, etc, that I quash it.

 

[RangerWickett]

One of you wants to be the daughter of Leska. And her name is Fae? Hooboy, that's gonna get interesting down the road.

A cleric with the cold domain will fit very well.

I admit to feeling a little giddy when I read ". . .he conquered Morrus utterly. . ." Do you prefer Morrusian or Morrusite? I don't know if it'll come up much in the adventures, but I'll use whichever you prefer.

Malvoisin, I totally don't want to get in your way, but if you'd like, email me at RangerWickett@hotmail.com and I can give you some insight into later in the campaign, to help character concepts mesh well from the get go.

RW: Thanks for letting me know my guy won't look like an odd duck out in the setting, as Telchur is pretty small in the grand deity scheme of things.

*casting vote for Morrusian*
