Panpiper Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Re: A New Dawn. 'Post-Apocalyptic' Fantasy HUSH! You with your magics! Lest you wake that which slumbers... Come, come this way, where the taint is less strong, that I may tell you of that which you must know. What you must heed if you are to have but a chance of survival... Danger abounds here and it is often unseen. Your best defense is to remain unnoticed. Keep your fires covered and small. Hone your senses and walk softly. Sleep in daylight and sleep lightly. Avoid ruins! What happened here you ask? Magic happened, great and terrible magics unleashed in a cataclysm of fury! And the powers they loosed upon the world are not gone, they are merely dormant, and the gods themselves will not help us if they wake. So heed my words and keep your magics silent! Once this land was rich and fertile and great cities gleamed. But the people allowed their pride to turn to arrogance, they thought themselves gods. They built magics of immense power. And now you see the consequence of power, the evidence is everywhere. Their once great cities are now blasted wastelands! Dark forces cover them with their malignance and creatures of pure evil lurk in their shadows. Great and terrible creatures that do not belong in this world now haunt the land. And we, those few that survived, we live in the scraps that malevolence ignores.' A little something I wrote to at least start off the write up for the post-apocalyptic High Fantasy Realm on Killershrike.com http://www.killershrike.info/GenericaRealmApolypticaDescription.ashx Any chance you might be interested in helping there to fill that out properly? What creative time and energy I have to spare (which is not as much as I would like) has been spent on the Tolkeinica part of that site. And I must say though, I do very much like what you have done with this campaign setting. I love finding other people's campaign parameters and creating sample characters that fit (at least in theory as I tend to create grossly overpowered characters), and your setting was no exception, I whipped up a few different characters, just for the fun of building them.

Shadowsoul Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Re: A New Dawn. 'Post-Apocalyptic' Fantasy Looks good to me. I'll treat the languages Brand possesses as Fluent rather than Basic as this will cost no more points. Bear with me while I write up the entry story for Brand.

My creative resources are also rather stretched. Particularly since I am toying with the idea of reactivating my Malazan project. But I'll take a look at the site and see if I have anything to add. I will say that this description reminds me of William Hope Hodgson's epic story 'The Night Land'. A very early fantasy story/weird tale and a very difficult read, but with a fascinating and immensely bleak setting. The world is cloaked in darkness and hordes of monsters roam its wasted surface. The nicer ones only want to feast on human flesh, the less pleasant creatures will settle for nothing less than a human's immortal soul.

'Post-Apocalyptic' Fantasy Eh... this may be a bit late (and then some), and i'm a complete and utter noob to all pen and paper roleplaying, but i was wondering if there's any chance that i could join in? This does look like a rather fascinating campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
