I am focusing on the dwarven area of my homebrew world with a level of detail I never expected to. They are starting at level 7 and the first adventure is a riff on the Beowulf story, with the heroes heading up into the contested mountains to help a stronghold besieged by evil. It features a gnoll hunting band, some orcish zealots and ravagers, which are homebrew monsters I just posted in the Monsters forum. It should be fun. There is a possibility that the PCs will depose the craven prince who now runs the stronghold. So they may end up as leaders of a whole town. Future adventures will focus on the underworld as they face threats to their new home and work toward freeing the dwarven lands that have been captured by dragons, orcs, etc. These dwarves are a bit more tribal and primitive than typical D&D dwarves. PCs can choose which region they come from, which grants a +1 on a particular skill that is highly regarded in that region. I'll be posting the complete adventure and PCs when it is ready to go.

The setting was a homebrew, large city with a technology level at about the Renaissance, except with magic as the base for it (Sharn from Eberron has a similar feel). The premise was that this city had a thieves guild that had become too bloodthirsty and had overstepped its bounds (and we later found out it was due to it mainly being taken over by a group of wererats)- we were tasked by the ruler of the city to try to take this guild out (we were all drawn into it through various means and backgrounds- one of us was a noble's son who was a thrillseeker, some of us were prisoners whose sentences would be commuted, etc.) Of course, the city guard were not aware of our actions (corruption was a concern), so of course we got the Mission: Impossible speech about being disavowed... We started at level 2, with everyone having their first level be of rogue. It was really interesting to see how different the characters became even after the same start. We had someone play a Rogue/Wizard, a Rogue/Fighter, a Rogue/Cleric (of the deity of deception, naturally), A Rogue/Ranger (a sniper, per se) and two pure rogues, one more a physical type and one a more charismatic type. It was great fun. We eventually ended up exposing the existing guild for what they were and recruited many of the non-wererat members to our cause, ending the whole thing with a running, sneaking, massive guerrilla warfare style battle with dozens of combatants on either side in the catacombs under the city.

Loads of fun, very much modelled after Saturday morning cartoons. To annoy a friend who always plays Dwarves, we made an all-Dwarf group once. He gave up in disgust, as usual. Even when we're not deliberately annoying him he frequently gives up in disgust.

And after that you could immediately come back to life. It was...certainly something. We also invaded the MST3K Satellite and fought HG Giger Aliens. Luckily that DM moved across the country to continue his never-ending college education.
#9 Shiftkitty Aug 20, 2008 18:54:35	All outlaw gunslingers in a Wild West game called "Desperadoes", but that was kinda the point of the whole game. We also did an all-fighter game. No negotiations, no talk-to-the-townsfolk, and no chance for the BBEG to monologue. Their war cry matched their philosophy of battle: "BOOOOOOGAAAA!!!!" It came from "The 9 Lives of Garfield", by Jim Davis and others. If you know the story in that book that it came from, it makes a lot more sense.

So there we were, sitting around the table and somone asked "Anyone got an idea for a one off game?" My buddy said he had something, "Everyone make a character with max ranks in Hide and Move Silently, we're having an assassins game." "How serious in this game?" "Not very." We had a Monk based on Chuck Norris, a Dwarf Ninja who wore a black leather jacket had his black hard greased and pulled back in a pony tail, and he squinted and whispered all the time... Stephen Segalstone. And so on and so forth. There were also two rogues, and a ranger, but I can't remember anything about them off the top of my head. We all tried to assassinate the same target the same night and hilarity ensued... we were all patsies though and it was us against the world, so we teamed up and stalked through the palace, then city commando style (as in actual commandos, not sans undies)... breaking necks, delivering roundhouse kicks. It was awesome. In a completely silly way.
