[QUOTE="Lazarus Long, post: 63769, member: 1800"] "The Beginning of the End" is a Wheel of Time RPG campaign that takes place outside of the events of the novels, but there will be some parallels with them- i'm not all that original of a DM ;) Differences from the Novels:[list] [*]The Dark One is sealed in His prison [*]The Forsaken are still used to scare children into obedience [*]The Westlands have no inkling that the Seanchan are around [*]The Aiel haven't started looking for the Car'a'carn [/list] [u]Rules[/u] The only changes are: 1. channeling. Using a system that's based a lot on Psionics: [url]http://phyle.dreamhost.com/wot[/url] 2. Initiates and Wilders cannot cross-class 3. I'm playing with the idea that certain classes cant be taken except at first level, mainly the Initiate, as they're supposed to have been training for years and years. [u]Characters[/u] Artimesia- Initiate. Born in Tar Valon and hasn't traveled. She's been in the White Tower since she was young. (Questionairre forthcoming ;)) Hanna Paet- Borderlander woodsman. Hanna comes from the backwoods of Shienar and helped support her family by gathering hard to find resources from the forests around the farmstead, occasionally venturing into the Blight for particularly rare items. She's left the frontier because of the desperation of the people around her, hoping that she can do something to help- whether the help she wants is for herself, her people, or all of those struggling, we won't know for awhile. 17 yrs old. Jogdush- A borderlander Armsman. comes from a once-noble family that is fading fast into obscurity. He feels the need to gain respect and honor, and has decided that the path to his goals lies in warfare. 23 years old. [u]NPC's[/u] Lani Goriam Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah. At times Lani can seem to be a doting old aunt that loves to pinch cheeks, at others, her drive and willingness to ay any price to confound the forces of the Dark. Obsessed with the Borderlands, she's spent as much time in those kingdoms as possible. Harnol Gaidin, Lani's Warder. Harnol is the bastard child of a noblewoman and her lover. When his mother's father learned of the adultry, he put the child (at age 9) out of his household. During one of her trips South, Lani found young Harnol and adopted him, starting his training to be her Warder from the youngest age possible. with anyone but Lani, Harnol adopts the worst attitudes of the Tearian Lords he's descended from. [b]The Setup[/b] My players and I are terrible with the setup of characters, so we usually go right into the begining of the action. But this time we at least talked about how they all got together. Lani Aes Sedai takes Artemesia as an assistant to Shienar, one of the Borderlands to aid her in gaining something from a noble that she dearly wants; but she won't talk about what it is. Lani takes on Hanna and Jogdush as a Scout and bodyguard, but its obvious from Harnol's reactions that Lani's showing charity in their employment, and is helping them get out of the backwoods and into the world. Harnol, however, makes sure that the two borderlanders aren't worth the money that Lani's sinking into their room and board at the Paved Way Inn. As the first session starts, Lani has been in negotiations with Lord Jessem for a few days. Her frustration with the process is pretty evident as she starts snapping at anyone who talks to her.
