Adventure Building

[ravells]

I always sorta liked the old timey spellings of things...lends it a bit of flavour.

The funny thing is that US English has kept lots of old English expressions which have fallen out of use in the UK, like 'gotten' - there are others which I've now forgotton. I read somewhere (not sure how true it is) that a US accent is much closer to what an English accent sounded like in the 18th Century (before Received Pronunciation also known as BBC English was used). It is said (again I don't know for sure) that the reason for RP was so that the old money people could distinguish themselves from the 'new money' people who made their fortunes during the industrial revolution.

Anyway, sorry to derail, y'all!

LOL, we can save ourselves a lot of writing and proofing if we just write the whole thing in Ork or something nobody can read. Just give them a bunch of maps with pages of writing that nobody can read. It leaves the whole project very wide open for interpretation.

Joking of course, but it would be funny to watch people's reactions.

-I would like to help out in any of the artistic areas (Illustrations, maps, whatever is needed). Once we get a story line I can read I will see about making up some images.
-I can help with story concepts as well but would like to run anything I put together past an editor. As a Gamemaster who flies by the seat of his pants half the time I'm not sure I want to get bogged down writing a bunch of text. I have a diabolical brain, lol, so if you want to make something heinous let me know.
-I'm willing to help out with the art committee but I believe we have folks here who are more experienced at that than I. Ascension always amazes me with the little detail things he finds for instance.

I could help out in the writing area I just started to re-organize my Kingdom of Shendenflar campaign setting so my writing mojo seems to be working (unlike my mapping mojo )

Ravs, yeah I saw a BBC tv series called "The Adventure of English" (which was quite enjoyable) and the host/narrator guy says that same thing but it was during the Colonial times pre Industrial Revolution. My guess is that current Americanese is about as far away from ye Olde English as is cockney.

[DevinNight]

In limited amounts depending on my free time and need I can do:
illustration, maps (interior), design-page layout, proofer

If this goes well and we find pretty good chemistry I will probably introduce an idea some time down the road for a a project and be the lead for it.. but for now I'm happy with working on whatever is started.

I just wanted to tell everyone thanks. I can't believe this idea has taken off so well.


So, there's this caravan....

...in band camp

...in band camp

And in a brilliant display of athleticism, Seriousness takes a death-defying leap out the window!


Meanwhile...
Option 1: PCs are escorting the caravan, guarding cargo and/or passengers, and are caught in an ambush.
Option 2: PCs receive word that the caravan never made its destination and are hired to investigate.
Option 3, anyone?

It needs a mothership of some kind. Like one with an imprisoned ant queen that can't escape the ship because she already died once and now has no body except for the ship. She could be angry and vengeful or something. Or maybe glib. I like that word She could just be having a grand old time with no concern for the welfare of stand up PC's or their caravans.

Option 3: One of the PCs receives word that a relative was killed in the caravan. The caravan was carrying(insert valuable items here) and the caravan owner would pay handsomely for their return. (this would be the motivation for the rest of the party) The hook is that the relative was NOT killed (merely captured) and somehow the caravan owner was involved...
