Ice wizards of Valon, secluded in their shimmering silver and gold towers or using weather mastery to propel their ships over the Uther Pentwegern Sea. Red-skinned barbarians of Altanis, carving out history with their bloody axes. Pirates of Tarantis, in league with the Tarantine Merchants, pillaging the shipping lanes of the Winedark Sea. Fierce Amazon Warriors, wearing little or no armor, accompanied by their saber-toothed tigers, bringing death with their shining swords. Rangers of Dearthwood, battling the vicious Orcs of the Purple Claw, ever searching for their foe's stronghold. The Wilderlands of High Fantasy.
I'm looking to start a PBEM set in the Wilderlands with a strongly barbaric, Swords & Sorcery, heavy metal sort of feel... probably R-rated. Heavy on the roleplay, light on the dungeon-crawling - I won't be sending PCs through lengthy published site-based scenarios.
It will be run at:
Yahoo! Groups
I'll be using the Labyrinth Lord rules since I find them simple and effective, note that the tone will be more 'Barbarians of Lemuria' than 'Bargle & Aleena'.
I would like a lot of player input, and right now I am looking to garner interest and get ideas where in the Wilderlands the game should take place, what kind of setting and culture (Viking? Desert? Ice or jungle?), what kind of characters and plots/hooks/bangs etc. Revenge is a likely motif, though exploration, conquest and sheer greed are also good.
I am looking for a fairly small number of good and enthusiastic players, probably around 4.
If interested, please subscribe to the list and post your ideas there.
Cheers,
Simon
