This is the official blood and steel cameign thread.
I will be starting gathering up information for a low end fantasy campeign, that I am calling blood and steel, just like the name is all
As visualised it starts with the players being very low powered and working up quickly
Here is the first part of my campaign guide, let me know what you think
BLOOD AND STEEL
A low powered Fantasy Campaign
General Description: The characters are village people living in a border town. The game will combine elements of epic fantasy, swords and sorcery, hack and slash.
Importance of the PC: The importance of the PC is minor at first, but as the campaign develops they will become more important.
Inspiration: Robert Jordan’s Wheel of time, D&D, Shannara series
Campaign Tone
Morality: (2.5) Good vs. Evil is mostly clear cut but with some cross over
Realism: (3) Neutral
Outlook: (2.5) Almost everything works out, but with setbacks
Seriousness: (3.5) Seriousness balanced by lighthearted moments & occasional stories
Lethality: (4) Characters kill regularly, but should be selective about whom
Continuity: (3.5) Short and long arcs, with some enforcement of continuity (subplots especially)
Physical World: The world is similar to our own, with the existence of magic, monsters, and demi-humans. Magic is fairly common.
