gewing Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 I'm sorry, I can't remember who had the Fantasy campaign where the elves were Uber Nazis, the Dwarves were slaves, Few Orcs survived, etc. I would like to use parts of this for a game I want to start. COuld you get ahold of me? I would like to talk it over with you. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markdoc Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 "Wizards" And it was the other way round: the evil wizard plays WW2 footage at the elves, paralyzing them with horror while the minions of evil attack. I have wondered if "fritz" from that movie inspired Kenney from Southpark. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewing Posted October 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Someone here on the board was running a game like this. The Elves are immortal, and total elven supremacists. They defeated the dwarves and enslaved them millenia ago. Now the Dwarves have been culled to the point they are "domesticated" imo, and they really make players who like dwarves nervous. Humans live barbaric tribal lives in the hinterlands, they can't compete technologically or, I guess, Magically. Orcs were nearly extinct, and the surviving ones live in isolated enclaves. They have had to adapt, becoming more "intelligent" and less savage. IIRC, there are Orcish groups that are like samurai or monastic Shao-lin. training in battle and working to control themselves. I am quite intriqued by the concepts, but since someone else had it first, I want to make sure I have permission to use it. I will make my own tweaks, of course, but... I really want to see the reaction of players used to "normal D&D worlds" when the elven character(s) are either kowtowed to or attacked berserkly on sight! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloomann Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 go for it I would say "adapting" the campaign to your own personal use is not a problem and it sounds like a coll campaing, will you let you players decide which race they might belong to? Also slightly different but somewhat the same in certain concepts concerning elf elitism is the classic ElfQuest by Wendy and Richard Pini. Certain elf tribes have enslaved men while certain troll tribes (taking the dwarf, orc part) are trying hard not to be enslaved again. interesting very interesting indeed...

Markdoc Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 This calls to mind a Games Workshop rip-off called (I think) Leviathan, where the Elves were twisted demon-worshipping racial supremacists, the Orcs were basically dinosaur-riding mongols (also racial supremacists), the Dwarves were previously slaves but now are magic/steam-technology wierdos and the humans are buff conan/celtic barbarians. The backstory was amusing enough, bu my eyes tend to glaze over on any description that starts "all the elves (or dwarves, or orcs) are...." cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewing Posted October 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Re: go for it I'm not sure I will allow any initial play of the races at all. I am thinking of modifying Sliders and Stargate, and having these Elves be like the Cro-Mags on Sliders.
