The March of Menace

Game Master Bradley White

Sandbox-style romp through a border province of a sprawling, pseudo-Slavic Empire collapsing under the weight of corruption and stagnation. Ultimately, the players might undertake building their own empires in this wide, mostly empty, deeply troubled region.



Hi all,

I'm looking at putting one of these lesser-known - but very good - OSR games through their paces. Both lean towards older styles of play but successfully incorporate mechanics from later editions. My homebrew campaign setting, the New Kingdoms, has been around for a long (long!) time, mostly as a Rolemaster setting. It's straight fantasy set in a world that is slowly, but quite literally, falling to pieces. I'm looking at running a sandbox-style campaign set in a Tsarist Russia-type nation.

The FH&W rules are available for free here
Blood & Treasure is available on OBS, and is pretty reasonably priced.


I've put in some info in the recruitment thread for this campaign to get a clearer idea of the setting and flavour.

I should also add, that if I can't garner any interest for FH&W (my preference) or B&T (which would be a very great shame), my arm could be twisted without much difficulty to run the setting for Pathfinder, AD&D 2e, Labyrinth Lord or OSRIC. If using PF, I'd be making considerable use of 3PP stuff, Ultimate Intrigue, Occult & Horror Adventures, background skills from Unchained and - ultimately - the Kingdom building rules from Ultimate Campaign.

As a caveat to that: I've never run PF before (I have played), so it could get messy, until I find my feet.


Hmm..that should read "in the Campaign info thread".


Just bumping this in the hope that new folks are browsing and might be keen.


Still hoping for expressions of interest: have pretty much settled in my own mind that I'd like to run Fantastic Heroes & Witchery. If anyone is interested, I've nearly finished preparing a couple of documents, one detailing character creation and an example of play and one looking at unique races in the campaign setting which I'd be happy to share.
