It will be difficult to allow for in-campaign changes when writing such a second module, though. 1 Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis 聽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaz Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Just now, Bill the barbarian said: Well, this is a novel idea, but it does have flaws, Being as this is meant for a sandbox聽set in Sartar the classic period is set in a nation occupied, while the modern would be a setting of a liberated nation. Much work would have to be doubled and scenarios would have to be tailored to both settings or generic or be useless in one of the settings.聽聽The leaders would need to be doubled up and all while being the same price (who wants to pay more for material that they will not use?). If it was written as a Great Sartar Campaign this could work, but... Thanks for the idea but as stated I am not sure it would fly. Cheers I happen to know the Great Sartar Campaign is currently being worked on by Jeff.聽 馃槈聽 However I have run both rq3 in the Classic period 1610 ish and new RQC 1625. Both are cool. I am currently GMing one campaign set in 1627 (Storm and about to enter 1628), playing in another exactly the same and alsoplaying in one set in 1610(?) but using RQG rules . So I get to have my cakes and eat them too.聽 聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just play through with the events of your adventures and King of Sartar as your timeline?聽Yes you players may alter established events...but that's cool .聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest now It might be best to play from 1611 and up to the dragon rise and then your players are all set for the rise of Argrath.

That is: is it set across more than half of Sartar, or is it set in a small corner (a couple valleys) ?聽 If it's in a small corner, it might be possible to more or less easily convert between the 2 times, depending on what the focus of the sandbox is.聽 If it's a wide sandbox, then yeah you have to pick a date. Another question is: do you actually have any strong themes to your sandbox? What do you want the stories to be about? You might realize that one date works a lot better than another? All things being equal, like I said I think our goal should be to provide more material to newcomers, and help grow our community (and Chaosium's audience and therefore revenue and therefore longevity of the RQ line). It seems to me that post-1625 better achieves that. 聽 1 Quote Ludovic aka Lordabdul -- read and listen to聽 The God Learners , the Gloranthan podcast, newsletter, & blog !

Especially if it's the kind where you start with new PCs - that way, the "normal" setting is available afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the long dearth of Sartarite material, I've been quite pleased to see the wealth of material set there now, both providing clan-based and episodic material.聽 But I've always liked running campaigns along the fringes of the "known world", too.聽 Eventually I'll get my Imther material in shape for further release (if I can get done with other writing first).聽 I briefly ran a Maslo-based sea-faring campaign that was headed towards Fonrit which was a very different view (plus you get the offspring of the Mother of Monsters, wrecked Dragonships, etc.).聽 And I outlined a Vormaino campaign that I would love to do, but just don't have time for. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
