So, I'm thinking about running Curse of the Crimson Throne in the future. I'm going to be making some changes by adding elements from other adventure paths and modules, as well as making changes to characters. But the biggest change I'm thinking about is changing the setting entirely.
The idea I have is that the events of CotCT and Korvosa take place in a land like Orision. I originally wanted to say that Varisia's borders expanding into part of Orision and Korvosa was established there. However, I looked at the map and there are so many countries between Varisia and Korvosa with their own rich history.
My question is how can I make this happen while keeping those countries in existence? Would this be a type of situation where I could do whatever I want? Any ideas would be great.
Bump.
Any thoughts?
Why move it to Osirion? What is your reason for this?
And how much do your player's know about the setting?
Because you could just lift the city and put it in Osirion and change all the deities. The problem is that all the names won't sound right for an Egypt inspired setting
Well, I don't have any players as of yet. I'm still planning this out. The reasoning behind it was because I wanted to change things up and makes things different. The original idea that I had was change the climate/weather so that it'd be raining most of the time. But that led to changing the setting/location.
Surely rain is more likely in Varisia than Osirion?
Have you played or run this before then? If not then changing it just to make it different doesn't seem necessary
No, I haven't run it before. But, I'm currently playing it. I was just going to ditch the rain idea and go with Osirion. However, thinking about it, I now think that making it raining most of time wouldn't require a lot of changes in terms of mechanics.
