[QUOTE="dougmander, post: 2547298, member: 14375"] A fair question: in the language of the moment, what's the core story? Well, the free adventure [URL=http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=5223&]Caves of Chisca[/URL] [i]is[/i] a dungeon crawl I wrote to assure new players that [i]NC[/i] doesn't necessarily require them to give up some of the comforting adventure formats found in other d20 fantasy games, but can just put a different spin on them. Instead of rampaging gnolls, think flocks of pauguk (flying skeletons) or a troop of clockwork soldiers gone amok. Armored dark knights are [i]so[/i] medieval. How about a black-cloaked headless rider, galloping down a dark, fogbound lane in search of grisly trophies? There aren't any succubi, but plenty of witches who can change their guise at will and are every bit as enchanting. So it is possible to have a one-to-one correspondance in [i]NC[/i] with the kinds of adventures you find in D&D, but if you play the game at that level only, you're missing out on what's unique to the setting. I gave some hints of the sort of adventures I've done in a previous post on this thread. [/QUOTE]
