Starting a Warcraft campaign

[FTracer]

Does anyone have some d20 Warcraft resources or know where some are? I guess I'm looking for any helpful player/GM guides, npc stats, setting info, adventures and whatnot. I tried signing up for White Wolf's forums but even time I try to log in I get an SQL error.

After our group finishes the last Eberron module, I'm going to take a break from DMing for a couple of months to prepare for Warcraft. So far I have Lands of Conflict, Alliance & Horde, Shadows & Light and Manual of Monsters plus Magic & Magic on the way. I figure by the time I finish reading all of it, I'll be ready to read the revised Warcraft book in May.

So far for adventures, I was going to use the stuff from Lands of Conflict. Down the road I figure I'll have some of the group, if not all, be soldiers from the war and perhaps one or two be a captain or lieutenant. Which will have to take command of an army when it's leader dies using the rts rules in the Alliance & Horde book.

I was thinking about doing a Castles & Crusades Warcraft game but that's just too much to convert. After playing World of Warcraft, I'm in the mood for Warcraft rpg.

As you mention, Warcraft RPG 2nd Ed is coming soon. You might want to hold off until then. But as far as a campaign goes, unless your players are really familar with the setting I would start small. The first full chapter of Warcraft 3 would make a great game for a group of PCs.

SPOILERS OF SORTS BELOW

-PCs come across a town where the people are dying, only to have them turn into zombies that night.
-PCs track contagion to grain shipment.
-PCs discover grain beign cursed by necromancer.
-PCs fight necromancer
-PCs fight necromancers demonic backers.

Etc.


That would be a perfect campaign in Warcraft or any DnD setting.

this site has a lot of stuff that the WCRPG folks came up with. It's mostly Character Writups and PrCs.

Stormborn, I think I'll use some ideas from Warcraft 3 but modifiy it. Two of the guys have played Warcraft 3 and one of them plays WoW with me. I think I have an idea how I want it to go but I was wondering what other DM's did in their games. Plus any good stats to use instead have having to make them up is a good thing. ;-) We've never played anything in the epic levels so I think the guys will get into it.

Thanks for the site Arscott, I saw it awhile back but lost the link.
