Message: <blockquote data-quote="Paka" data-source="post: 430803" data-attributes="member: 100">Hi, I am currently running a fantasy game set in a world I am writing up for a PDF published supplement for an RPG called Sorcerer.The game counts Edgar Rice Burroughs' Jon Carter of Mars series as a pretty huge influence with Elric, Fafhrd adn the Gray Mouser, Kull and co. along for flavor.The last Sorcerer & Sword game I ran went well as a game but didn't meet my goals. I wanted to take Marr'd out for a test drive and see how the NPC's, locales and society worked. I told this group point blank that I was in the process of writing a mini-supplement and that I wanted to run a number of games in the world, see how it all fit together. I made a point of saying that I didn't want this to be a museum game, "Look at the pretty and cool <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I've made up. Please don't smudge the glass." They should feel free to wreak royal havoc on the world, breaking it, mushing it and bending it to their characters' will. We decided that the character had known each other and had travelled most of the way across the Red Waste together towards Mu's Bed. We did a prelude with each character, the binding of their characters' demons. Tsunami  (Past: Samurai) bound his uncle in his ancestral tomb, taking up his uncle's sword, even though he knew that taking up the Ancestral Spirit of a deposed Shogun would no doubt get in exiled from the Empire. Fossalas  (Past: Metaphysics Teacher) found his Demon through complex geometry and mathematics. His Demon informed him that he was a Ghost of a long-lost past era in which the world was better off. He needed help, rounding up the relics of that romantic age. Recedes  (Past: Blacksmith) found her demon in the ore she mined and with her blacksmithing priviledges was allowed to build an anvil out of it. With the help of this Demon, a slaver Demon, she escaped from the mines and is seeking Demons to bind to her and hence, her Anvil of Doom. The kickers: Tsunami , a samurai from the Emperor far to the south beyond the Mariner's Gash, has come to the Witch-King's Keep to continue the quest his Emperor has put him on. He must deliver missives to each of the 666 Lords, Kings, Queens, Empresses and Messiahs of Marr'd, letting them know that the Celestial Emperor will accept their surrender before his armies cross the Mariner's Gash and destroy them. Fossalas is an Atlantean Wizard-Scientist whose student is on trial on Mu's Bed for summoning a creature and losing control of it in a town outside of the city. Fossalas is attending the trial to testify against his student, Toleet. Recedes was a blacksmith with her father when the Raiders came, killed her father and took her away to the mines. She found a bar in Mu's Bed. It had no name, only a mobile of tin, wooden and glass mugs clanging above the door. She over-hears some slavers crudely talking about how "good" a slave is. Her rage begins to boil.</blockquote>
