Message: <blockquote data-quote="I'm A Banana" data-source="post: 5243014" data-attributes="member: 2067">Because I am a horrible horrible instigator, I wonder what they would look like mashed together....[sblock=Option Infinity]History is draped in the corpses of fallen empires, nations lost to time. The most recent attempt to resist this collapse is The Kingdom of Elaria, is a fairly peaceful and stable realm, formed with an alliance of races. However, Elaria's peace comes at the hands of its tyrant-king, nicknamed the Iron Rod due to his capital city being a mining town known as the Iron City. Outside of the nation live fiends and barbarians, creatures of darkness and legend. Inside the nation is a tenuous allegiance of elves, dwarves, and other races, all kept in check by the fear of the Iron Rod's military might. However, the kingdom is splitting at the seams as old rivalries barely kept in check start to bubble into true rebellion. The Iron City, they say, is rusting.Meanwhile, an entity known as the Shadow-King is organizing the various monsters and tribes outside of the Kingdom into a cohesive force, in savage mockery of the Elarian alliance. Here, they find ancient and powerful artefacts buried in the rubble of previous ages, and bring these old technologies to bear against the Kingdom.A call goes out from the Iron Throne. Heroes are needed. Of course, in their own homes, heroes are beset. Spies. Monsters. Rebellions. Crackdowns. A brooding, distant army, and dark clouds on the horizon. Only those who can combine their powers to survive will prosper and, perhaps, lead the Kingdom to a new gilded age...[/sblock]I prefer my campaigns to be yin-yang. Points of darkness in the light, points of light in the darkness. The first campaign read like something Tolkeinesque, the second campaign reads like something out of DARKER AND EDGIER fantasy (which is a mixed bag). I don't like it when the expected things play out, and that counts for both types of games.</blockquote>
