Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Cardinal" data-source="post: 2701100" data-attributes="member: 634">I've got several campaigns at the moment - but the youngest is my GURPS4e Banestorm  (see <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=152919" target="_blank">this</a> thread and <a href="http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/11/11725.phtml" target="_blank">this</a> review) campaign...The focus of my new GURPS4e Banestorm "Milk & Honey" campaign:At the beginning of the campaign the PCs slowly become involved in what turns out to be a continent-wide search of the templars for certain ancient manuscribts, maps, and diaries. The man behind this search is the Grand Master of the Templar order himself. Wracked with guilt over his responsibility for the - as he sees it - unavoidable impending doom of the Empire of Megalos, he sees it as his duty to at least save the power and perpetual existence of his order - an order that already saved itself once in its history be fleeing into a new world.So the Grand Master, who knew from secret books of the order that Yrth's geographical layout had a lot in common with that of Earth, found out that Ytarria had some significant similarities with the North American continent, especially the "USA" area, and that early templar "refugees" to Yrth had tried to prove the existence of other "mirror continents" to those of Earth across the oceans. When he will have collected enough information on those early expedtions, as well as Earth's geography and its relation to that of Yrth, then he intends to start a massive settlement & colonization movement of his order to the mirror continent of Earth's Europe/North Africa.The order will then create a new empire across the eastern ocean, a "colony" under the exclusive sway of the templars, and when the old Empire falls - as it must - the order will prevail, more powerful than before!...of course, there still remains the question of the *native* inhabitants of this new continent, but this gives *me* a reason to introduce new races to Yrth - and the players something to worry about... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> (This new continent, "Outremere" after the templar's kingdom in the holy land, will be inhabited by (a) humans from Earth, who came mainly from [11th-13th c.] sub-saharan Africa & India, as well as from [16th c.] Russia and eastern Europe, (b) races from the dark world of Nha'craal, namely the Bales, Fishmen, and Gargoyles (GURPS Fantasy Folk, though the Gargoyles are also an optional race in GURPS Banestorm), the Kaa (GURPS Aliens), Ghouls, and Winged Folk, and finally (c) the *native* races of the Nether Elves (*good* drow, homebrew), the Wild Men, and Sasquatch (GURPS Fantasy Folk))</blockquote>
