I have no opinion on this, as either way it sounds rather interesting. Though, I believe I would rather my "child" not morph into fae unless he chooses to do so.
Monkey, not trying to convince people, just saying if a consensus is not reached on DFT. There are so many ways to play that completely restructure the campaign flow that consensus is required. As such, if it cannot be reached, then we must select something which is easier to gain cohesion on! You can play a Fey no matter what, so don't feel I'll be doing away with that! ^_^
I will do just about anything for Ravenloft and Gothic Horror.
Pretty much anything. 8)
I think we need to work out what sort of setting and story our "dark fairy tale" will be. Clearly there's quite a few interpretations.
RVT, what were you thinking when you added it to the list?
I was considering it to be a more RP focused DFT setting, like Ravenloft but with fairy tale elements included with gothic horror. The encounters would be much fewer in number and require a LOT of thinking for PCs to survive. I was fine with either child or adult adventurers, but I see that the children would be hard to run and, for that matter, explain. The setting would evoke the tales of the Brothers Grimm. The dark forces aligned against the PCs would be servants of the Five, a coven of witches with foul designs for the campaign world.
Ooh....RVT, this campaign you're describing sounds a lot like the mini series called The 13th Kingdom! Count me in for adult adventurer!
Interestedface!
ShadowyFox, I'm not sure what that is, but it gets you on board with my original plans for the campaign, so cool!
Aldrah Furyblood, looks like I hooked a second person with that pitch!
The Five are known in the hushed whispers of the campaign world. They are known most commonly by their soubriquets: The Heartless Queen, The Lady of Mirrors, The Blood Maiden, The Ice Witch, and The Witchlantern. There is rumored to be a sinister figure called The Sixth who supposedly rules over them all.
To be fair, I was also interested in your other campaign, but starting at level 17 is overwhelming for me, not to mention the other things...That, and I've never actually done point buy, hero points, etc. So as much as I'd have loved to participate in that one, I could not do so comfortably.
watching...
That sounds right up my alley. What level would this game be starting?
So apparently I was misremembering and the mini series was the 10th Kingdom.
I will make a recruitment thread for you all in about an hour!
Just as a note, this is a DARK setting. If you don't like the older, bloodier, and more sinister fairytales, I repeat, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! If anyone has ever played Grimm for True20, mix that with Alice in Wonderland and Ravenloft, add in MacBeth-like witches, and you have a recipe for a really GRIMM SETTING, pun intended! ^_^
