What would your next campaign be?

[S. Baldrick]

A campaign set in the Winderlands, either in the City State of the Invincible Overlord or in Tel Qa or a campaign involving both. I would like to use Castles and Crusades for it but more realistically, I will use D&D 3.5 since everyone that I play with has been less than enthusiastic about giving C&C a try.

 

[Stormborn]

The more I think on this the more I think I would want to do some kind of "World Tour" campaign, likely on a homebrew world drawing bits from various published settings and my own rampant imaginings. I would probablly keep some of the sword and planet ideas in it: humans as a newcomer race on a world with dozens and dozens of ancient cultures and races, lower magic, swashbuckly rules, etc.

Vikings! (Grim Tales) – Players are all from a small village in Scandinavia during the Viking Age. Trolls, giants, horrible creatures and even the Gods are said to roam the Earth. Winter should be ending, but the spring thaw has not come. Some fear Ragnarok is upon you, but they’re just worry-worts. You’re Vikings! You’re mighty! Go out and pillage something!

Hey Ao, good to see you digging Grim Tales! I really like this idea a lot. If you do go this route, make sure you check out the Seven Saxons module. I think it would in nicely with your concept.

Freeport. Pirates, corrupt urban streets, with Lovecraftian undercurrents. Just which setting to place it in? Praemal, Argyle, Kyngdoms, other, or kitbash? I'm thinking of leaving it vague unless a PC wants to have a say in developing the world.

I'm not sure a Freeport campaign really needs a specific and/or well-developed setting. Not sure if you've checked out the newest Freeport book (the systemless one) but there is a fair amount of background on the area and island chain surrounding the city. Between the city itself and the local surroundings, I'm sure you'll have plenty to work with.

The various supplements, especially the original Freeport Trilogy, offer some additional info about the area around the city.

Man, I love Freeport.

As was said, you can leave it vague just fine, but I find it also works great as one of the Sea Kingdoms of Praemal. I stuck it in the water, west of Vidor and south of Gharon.

I've been playing with an idea for a campaign set in the early Bronze Age in a fantasy version of the Fertile Crescent. Limit powers to 5th level to reflect the early, poorly understood nature of magic and psionics... I'd have Incarnum in the campaign as well...

Nifty. I'll keep that in mind. Of course, the death knell for my campaigns seems to be, as soon as I spend money on something special for it, it dies within the next month.

I have Rodrigo to thank for finally making me go out and purchase Grim Tales. His 'The Winter Witch' Gencon pickup game was the clincher.

I have no clue which one the group will want to go with. I've only heard one maybe for Buffy. I'm actually kind of hoping they go with Vikings, personally.

So far, the overall feeling of the group seems to be that I run too dark of a game and need to run something "light & fluffy." As you can see from the choices, I don't exactly do light and fluffy.

If my current campaign ended, I would most likely switch to Eberron. Otherwise I might run a game set in Freeport.

Hi STARP,

Spacefaring (d20 future)
A d20 future campaign which would actually owe more to Firefly than Star Trek or Star Wars. It'd be "low" sci-fi, so no aliens, no flash shiny ships, no Force etc. etc. I think I've come up with a pretty good setting which kind of evokes the Age of Discovery in a lot of ways.

It is not set in space, but here are some free Harn articles that are based on Firefly.
The ship is here: http://www.lythia.com/modules.php?o...addetails&lid=200&ttitle=64_foot_Dak_'Lorkin'

The crew is here: http://www.lythia.com/modules.php?o...199&ttitle=Friends,_Foes,_&_Followers,_Part_6

And here are some adventure ideas: http://www.lythia.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=218&ttitle=Sail_Ho!

Robin Hood
Not a campaign based on Robin Hood, but an actual Robin Hood campaign. The PCs are the Merry Men. There'd be a fight over who gets to be Hoody himself (Hoody and the Blowfish?) but I think it'd be really fun. I want to add magic and use standard D&D rules so we end up with a fantasy-historical hybrid. I have this goofy idea that the Sheriff of Nottingham is a Blackguard and Guy of Gisborne is his demonic henchmen.

You should be able to use alot of the manors etc of this webpage here: http://www.lythia.com/nelafayn/ since in Harn the Sheriff of Olokand is sometimes based on a SoN type (but with a claim to the throne).

Enjoy

I'd go with a campaign I've been working on for a while now namely:

GI Joe/Action Force (using the Spycraft ruleset). I figure on having the players each have 3 characters and they pick the one best suited for each mission. XP goes in a pool for the 3 so you can either continually level up the same character (and face possibly having an under experienced pilot/driver/specialist when you need them), or level all 3 more slowly. Cobra are great villains, with a good variety of recurring "bosses" like Major Bludd, Copperhead, Overkill etc, right up to the leaders such as Dr. Mindbender, Baroness, Tomax & Xamot, and of course Cobra Commander at higher levels.

The campaign pretty much writes itself and I get to run the group through some of the high (and low) points of the various comic stories like the creation of Cobra Island, the siege of Springfield, Serpentor and the Coil, the Red Shadows, Destro's Iron Grenadiers, as well as Zartan and the Dreadnoks.

And the best bit is that most of my group (save one of them) have no idea about any of this stuff at all. Muahahahha!!
