RECRUITING: Song of the Outlands (AD&D 2e Planescape)

[Biohazard]

Of all the strange things that Alice saw in her journey through the looking-glass, this was the one that she always remembered most clearly. Years afterwards she could bring the whole scene back again, as if it had been only yesterday--the mild blue eyes and kindly smile of the Knight--the setting sun gleaming through his hair, and shining on his armour in a blaze of light that quite dazzled her--the horse quietly moving about, with the reins hanging loose on his neck, cropping the grass at her feet--and the black shadows of the forest behind--all this she took in like a picture, as, with one hand shading her eyes, she leant against a green, watching the strange pair, and listening, in a half dream, to the melancholy music of the song.

Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass

SONG OF THE OUTLANDS

an original adventure for AD&D 2e Planescape

I'm looking to recruit 3-4 players for "Song of the Outlands", a original adventure set in the Planescape campaign setting, using AD&D 2nd edition rules. I know that AD&D 2e isn't hugely popular here but I'm hoping to find a few old farts nostalgic for the Good Ole Days .

The players will begin as teenagers (or equivalent, in the case of demihumans) living on the outskirts of Sigil. They are drawn into a surreal adventure involving songs of melancholy, shifting modes of perception, lost souls in the Outlands, leprous beholders, and insane necromancers. Lots of action and adventure coupled with philosophy and character development.

Anyone interested? If we can get a group together I'll follow up with more details.

I'd be interested except that I don't have any 2e books and know absolutely nothing about it, except that instead of a BAB you have THAC0 and you wanna roll. Might not be too bad since the DM does all the die-work in a PbP, but I'd need a lot of help making my character. I do, however, have the Planescape Campaign Setting (only piece of 2e I was interested in).

 

[Cannibal_Kender]

I'd be interested.

 

[Dalamar]

I'm not an old fart, nor have I played 2nd ed. before. However, I recently got my hands on a stack of 2nd ed. books, and I'd be interested in trying out a psionicist if you allow them.

I'd love to give it a whirl - that is, if you would let the fellow that started Planewalker.com play...
