Necromancer's City of Brass

[TerraDave]

As I noted above, the PDF is going for $50, and there are some places online the hard copy is cheaper.

I ordered the box from amazon.com, amazon.de didn't have it anymore.

As Promised

Here are some terrain pics of the Minaret of Screams. I built this stuff with pink owens corning foam, a hot knife, some plaster, some gorilla glue, some elmers glue paste and some art gesso.



A top view of the PCs entering the Gullet.



A slightly higher than PC eye view of the entrance. Deafened burning dervishes and madmen confront the PCs as they enter. An interesting note.. as I ran this encounter I gave the burning dervishes rubber hip waiters and bottles filled with pink "potions of resistance to acid". For obvious reasons. Pepto forgive me.

PCs land in the upper gut. Confronted by Silaal and Burning Dervish Guards. Multiple castings of blade barrier made this a pretty tough encounter. Note the imprisoned efreeti in the ruggae lined cells.



A top down view of the upper gut giving a better view of the lovely scenery.
Characters noted this in their travel logs as a place. "Never to visit again ever". So of course... they ended up having to go back again. Good times.

Let me know if you want more.

Burning dervish? Is this a new class/PrC, or a creature?

 

[bowbe]

Burning dervish is a new race of genie that is a more fire based jann. Basically a tribe of Jann who have sold their soul to the Sultan of Efreet in exchange for more fire based abilities. They serve as spies and secret police for religious law in the City of Brass, where of course the religion is worship of the Sultan and obediance to his supreme authority.

Wow! Casey, Scott, Necromancer crew, this thing is truly awesome! The histroy, the ideas, the NPC's, the magic! Awesome!

The second ot last chapter of my C&C camapign will be "THe City of Brass", and it will be so easy to rewrite!

You guys have put your names to a classic. Simply friggin awesome!

Thanks Tree-. Glad you're digging it all. We definitely tried to throw everything in there we could (while still leaving the whole thing wide open enough to insert into any campaign without a problem).

As for classic- well, perhaps We were definitely inspired by AD&D classics for it (cover of DMG 1e, the Codex of Infinite Planes, etc). And then we went off on our own little tangent of what you'd be likely to find in a city full of efreeti (Minaret of Screams, the N'gathau, Circus of Pain, etc)

Its definitely a classic, so I will be buying at least 3 of these as soon as I can afford to.
