The Bitter Edge: Any Interest?

[Sepulchrave II]

Okay. In a nutshell.

The World: Feudal Japan meets Finno-Ugric Shamanism and Teutonic Myth.

The Premise: High level but low magic. Dark-Age / Low medieval technology.

Quirky magic: Sorcerers, bards, witches, enchanters, shamans. Runes, spirits, totems. Glamour. No 'civilized' magic, such as that exemplified by wizards and clerics. In fact, no distinction between arcane and divine magic at all.

The Characters: A wandering warrior-maiden named Sihu. A bard called Murme. Joalgh the Humourless, a dour forester. Ulf the Cunning, a seer.

The Plot: Sorcery. A voyage by sea. A giant. Oodles of deception, intrigue, plotting and betrayal - of course.

The Catch: No healing magic in the party. Of any kind.


I'll be happy to share this, if there is any interest out there. If it's all old hat, then I won't bother. I should mention in passing that this is the same campaign world as Wyre, albeit milennia before. It is also the world that I keep returning to, even after fifteen years. Of course, it's not finished - they never are, are they?

Opinions?

Heh heh, I got the first vote! I even beat Horacio!

 

[Nish]

I got the second.

And so far its unanimous.

 

[Cyronax]

I'll be the third!!

(by this I mean please post more),
C.I.D.

By all means, share. The Heretic of Wyre is a great story due to your creativity and writing, and the talented players involved. I'd probably want to read the tale if you were running a Smurf campaign with this bunch.

 

[Rune]

Looks promising.

 

[Lazybones]

Well, maybe "love" is too strong a word... but I really enjoy your writing. Bring it on!

 

[Alejandro]

Well, maybe "Smurf" is too strong a word... wait, what am I saying? Smurf on, Sepulchrave!

I enjoy your writing and your high-level ideas. I'll definitely give it a try.

Caveat: you gotta answer my questions when I pose them!

You'll probably find this quite atypical as far as high-level campaigns go.

(Bows head shamefully). I will try my best.
