(Recruiting) The Sundered Empire (Chainmail Setting +Labyrinth Lord)

[Express2.0]

A bit more pre game fluff

For a moment, you considered the import of your master's message. It bore Istvan's seal. After a few moments you studied the note's bearer.

He was a wood elf, short of stature, with raven black hair and dark wild eyes. He was unable to answer your questions concerning Istvan save that he was oathbound by the Imperial Oligarchs to escort you to Istvan.

So with little reason to refuse and curious to the purpose of your master's call, you accompanied the elf and began your journey.

For days you traveled, your escort saying few words upon the trail. Finally it began to dawn upon you that your path had turned to the south, away from the borders of the Empire of Ravilla, and the old city of Xanos, and your master's school.

The wood elf shook his head at your puzzlement. "Istvan is not in Xanos. We travel for Scalebane, a camp town on the Plain of Edora. There, Istvan awaits."

And so, after several days traversing the disputed regions of the old Empire, you crested a ridge on a midsummer's morning and saw the sight of Scalebane.

Scalebane was a haphazardly arrayed collection of grand pavilions, modest tents, and rudely built wooden buildings. The town looked new, raw, and sat almost buzzing on the plain as its denizens-representatives of numerous races- went about their daily routines.

Nice you going to start an IC so we can RP till we get some crunch done??

EDIT: If I were to say that to a non-gamer I wonder what they would think I was talking about LOL

HM I doubt a non gamer would get it

I guess I could start an IC. I am finishing up an old fashioned area hex map-which is mostly blank actually. But I guess I can have a sort of pre game IC which would simulate each PC arriving. Ive never really done it that way before.

Whatever works for you I was thinking we could all chat as we walk into tent town.

HM- no hurry on you character. I appreciate your initial IC post.

grufflehead- don't forget to enter the magic item for PCs raffle, just give me a number from 1-100. Knowing your class would be helpful.

After much vacillating, I added another class choice for the game (see previous post). I will now stop tinkering I promise.

Finally, I'm going to get around to cleaning up this thread and putting game info into a more organized fashion so ppl possibly interested can follow it better. No promises though. But if we get one more player, I'm willing to take off-since a trio could always try to recruit some henchman if they want to.

Please find attached my old school hexmap of the plains of Edora, an unexplored sandbox for the game.

A little although to counteract the slowness of xp gain in PbPs, I am going to give exploration bonuses for landmarks discovered, dungeons found, etc..etc..

So it may be worthwhile to wander abit.

The scale on the map is 1 hex = 5 miles, to btw.
