Campaign Reboot! What do you think about it?
Posted: Sun Jan 29, 2017 2:58 am
This is one of the biggest post i have ever made ^^. Sorry for the lenght, hope you will read anyway, and let me know what you think
After a long break, my player asked me to reboot our campaign. I will keep the adventure and the timeline as it is, but i want to change a little the start and the end. We will start and continue from the point they stopped in the last campaign, but we will have a very different start for their characters.
I'd like to hear what you think of this start, and more in general of the entire campaign: If it works, if you would change something, how would you Chain events, etc!
I did not feel like writing 3 new backgrounds, connecting 3 new plot, having 3 new stories. So i made a choice. No background. No memories. Nothing.
I had this Idea from a game: Dark souls. You start the game, and you know nothing. The games tells you very little about what you have to do, and what's your job here. I always liked this kind of silent storytelling.
I put here a rough timeline and adventures order (this do not fully follow the canon timeline, and I will add adventures and events at any point, as I see fit. Those below, anyway, are the important ones) just to give you an idea of my plan:
The Night of the Walking Dead (Lv. 1-3) 736 BC(Dec)
Touch of Death (Lv. 3-5) & VR – Ancient Dead (Lv. 7-9) 737 BC
Feast of Goblyns (Lv. 4-7) 738 BC
VR – The Surgeon Blade (Lv. 6-8) 738 BC
Ship of Horrors (Lv. 8-10) 739 BC
From Shadows (Lv. 9-12) 740 BC
Roots of Evil (Lv. 9-12) 740 BC
VR – Chilling Tales – The Taskmaster’s Leash (Lv. 7+) 741 BC
VR – A Truly Twisted Tale (Lv. 5-7) 742 BC
The Evil Eye (Lv. 4-7) 747 BC
The Grim Harvest – Death Unchained (Lv. 5-7) 749 BC
The Grim Harvest – Death Ascend (Lv. 6-8) 749 BC
The Grim Harvest – Death Triumphant (Lv. 6-10) 750 BC
Bleak House – Seas of Madness (Lv. 5-7) 750 BC
Bleak House – Homecoming (Lv. 7-12) 750 BC
The Grim Harvest – Death Triumphant (Lv. 6-10) 750 BC(Dec)
The story: The Start, and the End...
(Please, if you play with me do not read)
I did not read all the adventures, so i could be totally wrong about some point.
If you find anything that miss, or if anything of what i have typed above is totally wrong/incomplete feel free to tell me, and if you feel like it, I'd be glad to have your advice on how to improve the story.
Thanks in advance to anyone who will join this topic .
