Butters

I like the idea of outsiders being helpful as the person in charge of the area and castle is is currently acting odd and the locals should be concerned. I'm thinking that the character left behind might end up heading to the gallows though.

Lol, so many name changes in this campaign historical, modern, and local.

Hi, The Players have escaped the Castle and it could have been a T.P.K if I hadn't gone a little easy on them but they left a man behind. And I'm conflicted, they have the chance to get back to the castle and rescue their comrade or just run for the hills both options are dangerous and I might have to get a little more deadly on both accounts. So I don't know how to move things along in a way that works for everyone.

Has anyone run this campaign and if so any tips? I'm currently struggling a bit at the Launston/Launceston castle part of the adventure.

I've not read them fully but its set within the Holy Roman Empire as well but a bit later (1610) but it does have section set in Koln so it might have some further useful location information about the various place(s). I would recommend them but there is unfortunately little chance that the campaign will be finished which is unfortunate. So recommend YES but no rush especially as you have Renaissance 1520.

Lol, Players what are you going to do with them? I'm guessing you are running the A Clockwork of Orange campaign?

They are pretty fun to run, I look forward to giving you terrible advice. 😁

Hello, I'm currently running K&C 1 and whilst it has despite my iffy GM abilities seems to be going fairly well but it would be handy to hear from others who have been through the K&C experience. It would be handy to see if there are any pitfalls or traps in the campaign?

It's a slightly weird description for the repeating Arquebus, it honestly seems a bit quick to reload. For damage I would use the 2D6 of a normal Arquebus. So I guess if it hits there is no real need to roll damage (2D6x108) I would maybe give it an area/cone of effect rule. Honestly it seems way to strong unless the Party is in a Leviathan. As for the repeating Musket maybe it's based on this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalthoff_repeater#:~:text=The Kalthoff repeater was a,weapons following the Kalthoff design. I would go for the smaller ammunition load and it being very rare and expensive. Though from whats in the book it seems almost like a Puckle gun in that it needs to be set up so? Again I would keep the damage the same as the single shot weapon, you just get to fire it longer without reloading, I also might think about making it an Advanced skill like Polearms to reflect using such cutting edge weaponry.

Yep, one is more the rules for running a game in the black powder era whilst Clockwork adds the English Civil War as its main setting as well as the rules needed to play. You can also get the SRD for free to try out the rules before you buy which is handy. As for DriveThru I've had a few P.O.D's from them and they have been fine so far quality-wise as for soft or hardback I'm not sure honestly, softback might be a bit sturdier for table play I guess. I have a softback edition that I throw into my work bag and is pretty beat up by now but it's still intact and it's still useable it just looks a little worn and dog-eared cover-wise.

That would be pretty cool honestly as it would be interesting to see how these mesh.

Good luck, it sounds like it should be a blast. Looking forward to hearing how it pans out and how the Players cope with all the ensuing madness.

With all those fluffy slit outfits?...yeah you sold me on it, lol.

Damn. I had forgotten that book and it would be super helpful in my campaign right now as well. 😥

Warhammer has it that Morrslieb was created this way, So maybe Hecate was formed from the debris caused when the meteorites/fallen Angels crashed into the Earth when God cast them down?
