Game Master ALLENDM

If anyone is interested in submitting please do so as I am reviewing submissions this week. I realize the HR's are probably one item that a few people will want to review my intent is to get them posted.

Jack

Did you want us to start listing character ideas, or was this just to remind fold who are interested to fill out the "Campaign Player Recruitment Questionnaire Form"?

Ditto above, not sure if you want more than the questionairre

Just those that wish to fill out a Recruitment Questionnaire Form.

All,

Here are the House Rules. Please understand they are a work in progress until we get started. I just wanted to get them posted for all interested parties to review.

Please don't hesitate to ask questions. I am very opened minded about making adjustments so that whoever is selected has fun.

Also if you look to the top left I have all the current Player Resource links we will be using.

I have begin reviewing and reading the questionnaires.

Jack

Cool

First of all nice document!

I've never seen the northern map before, very nice. So any chance we see Races for Taraam or Naath? Just cause I like barbaric northerners :)

Earlier you had mentioned a couple of 'races' Djaka and Ikuna and one 'Culture' Degenerate that were 'out of play' may we assume that is still the case?

"Healing Spells come at a cost for the healer" I've not seen this done before, a nice addition for a low magic game. Makes 'curing' possible, but costly, very thematic.

All,

Here are the House Rules.

These are great... making way through them

I also hadn't seen the northern map.

A few questions:

1. Fighter Modification - are these in addition to or instead of features of the base Fighter class?

2. "Once you have gone 60 hours without sleep you are FATIGUED. If the character reaches 66 hours without sleep he is EXHAUSTED.".

Are those the intended numbers? Because there seems no issue until 60 hours and then it rapidly escalates.

I just noticed I left some things on the backend of the doc that I will need to edit off. For now just ignore anything past the Conditions.

We can scope those out if you like.

Yes that is the case.

I wanted to try that out. It doesn’t seem like healing magic is nixed in Xoth. I wanted there to be limits on magic and healing and this was my way of building it into the world.

Jack

Cool rules...I like the gritty feel and deadly aspects it shows!!

So does anyone else picture a barrel chested dark skinned Pict druid with a blue wode skull painted on his face healing people. Then the wounds he healed showing up superficially bleeding on his body, or is that just me...

One of the take aways from the setting is that all magic comes inherently from the individual and these secrets are either learned from dark cult knowledge or from secret tombs. In any event the power comes from within the individual. So in the case of healing what I see is the healer becoming gaunt, pale, and in a state of exhaustion. So I imagine a barrel-chested young dark-skinned Pict druid healing people and looking like he aged twenty years after he finished tending to them... ;)

I have updated the House Rules. Just cleaning them up and added some additional information on a few races that I found.

So I included the automatic bonus progression through the Training method (Spend Treasure). I didn't add all the automatic bonus progressions but instead built a model that will benefit each character. I am not to big on the magical attunement=(armor/weapon) in this genre. Magic items and magic are simply rare and there will be opportunities to find these items.

Is there an available weapons and armour and equipment list?

Helaman,

I am working on it but the only big differences I see is the heavy armor and more "advanced" armor will not be available.

Robert Henry has been selected and I am working on getting the last two selected.

Jack

All,

Helaman and Daniel Stewart have accepted my invites. I apologize if you were not accepted. I actually hate this part of the game because I always wrestle with who to accept.

If it turns out one of the players has to drop I will repost to see if one of you is interested still.

Jack

That's understandable. All the best with the campaign!

Xoth adventure books such as "The Spider God's Bride" have gotten a version in the Legend system. They all seem to be on sale at the moment at drivethrurpg. May be of interest for source material!

Thanks!
