The Valley of Karaccia (Return to the Known World using C&C)

#1 Post by ybn1197 »

Lunch at The Obedient Squirrel was surprisingly good. Jella, the barmaid, mentioned that the goat for the stew had been slaughtered just that morning.
While you dined, the lot of you came to realize you were all about to embark on a common quest: collecting the head of Irrug, a kobold trying to establish a tribe in the nearby Crimson Caverns. Gerran Hillfall, a local braggart, came in to boast that he and his fellows were off to slay the creature as you were finishing up your meals. By the time you were able to grab your gear and set off, Gerran had gained a half hour head start. Hopefully there will still be glory enough left for you!
The travel to the caverns is roughly a two mile hike after crossing the river by ferry. There’s no path, but occasionally along the way you spot signs of Gerran and his friends’ having recently passed though.
After two hours of difficult hiking through wooded and rocky terrain, the trees break and in the clearing you see the mouth of the Crimson Caverns.
Welcome to The Valley of Karaccia, a small valley in the Grand Duchy of Karameikos located in between the Cruth Mountains and the Cruth Lowlands north of the Riverfork Keep. I will be using the Castles & Crusades game system by Troll Lord Games (the 7th printing of their Player's Handbook is free at the moment; https://www.trolllord.com/tlgstore/#!/P ... y=11639170. The game will start in the valley but you will be able to explore the B/X (BECMI) world of Mystara as well as the campaign progresses.

Hello all. It's been nearly a year since I was here due to RL issues. Now that things have calmed down I have been bit by the urge to run a PBP game again. I want to run a sandbox style game in the Known World of Mystara.

Ooooh! I do love Mystara and I haven't had a chance to use my C&C Player's Handbook.

Count me in!

OK! That's one player and a vote at C&C. Hopefully we can get more players interested.

I may be interested ybn1197 but I am very busy at the moment at work and home and working on making a character for another game and looking at another games rules over the weekend. So, I can handle another game but it will take me a little bit to get a PC made and ready to play. I have the rules but have only played them once so it will take me a little longer to get a PC made there as well.

No problem Rex. There is no rush on getting this off the ground.

Sounds good. One for C&C; one for either. We get a couple of more people and we will have ourselves a game.

Count me interested. Just downloaded the free PHB from C&C. So, I guess this system has my vote ;)

I will give it a try as well. I do own the C&C PH, but nothing else from that system.

RL always takes precedence. But glad you are able to game again and welcome back!!
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Thanks to everyone for your well-wishes. We now have four expressing interest so I will go ahead and get a campaign setup for characters and a place for everyone to start posting and discussing the game.

Do we roll characters 4d6 drop lowest?
Or 3d6 and you get what you get?
