NickMiddleton Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 This is sort of a companion to the other poll - which of the published monographs would you like to see a new adventure for most of all, whether it's a companion adventure to a monograph that was itself an adventure, or a "how to..." adventure that shows how to implement ideas from a monograph that was purely a rules supplement? Not sure I can fit all the relevant mono's in one poll mind... Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bygoneyrs Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I voted Witchcraft as it would be a awesome subject to do. It could also add to the subject as well. Penn Quote Old time RPGer of +34 yrs, player/DM/GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalaba Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I picked 'other' because what I'd most like to see are some adventures for Rome, which isn't a monograph. Yes, I know that Veni Vidi Vici is available, but sadly only in PDF format which I know I'll never read (I already have a lot of pdf's I bought and have never read - and probably never will). As an aside, if I was going to submit an adventure, I would probably prefer to use my own material than riff off someone else's setting. I think I would have this nagging fear of not quite getting their setting right. But maybe that's just silly.

Bygoneyrs Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 For me if I wrote a adventure using the Witchcraft theme, I would be using the Witches from my own campaign from the great swap/march Kingdom of Murasi where the Witch King rules using his Dark Arts<g>!!!

Bygoneyrs Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Actually I have used Witches within my fantasy campaign now for years. The Witchs of Murasi , are viewed by the people almost as Gods (The Immortal Witch Kings) chosen. it is said that they get their powers from deal with Demons, and are considered to practice Dark Arts and ways. It is also said that they do human sacrafice and can drain power from the land and living as well too. They are greatly feared by all, and go out of their way to attack any other religious beliefs within their lands. They are a Dark Force to stay clear of. Also note in my campaign realm I always start my players within the small Kingdom of Jhorgule, where I have run using it now for 25 years. The main church of Jhorgule prays to a god called Bahlidoar - he is the One true God (think Christian/Chatolic god).Bahlidoar uses Angels and Saints as his chosen to communicate with his believers. His counter is a Fallen One (Former lead Angel) called Ulric (think the Devil of the Christian/Catholic faith). Ulric uses Demons and Daemons (Evil Souls) to do his biddings. Now also in the same area many of the people still hold or maintain beliefs in the Old Gods of; Tempest, Krumm, Belisame, Epona, Ogmios, and Teutates. These gods were Celtic and Norse in Nature. Now the Witch King of Murasi has been trying to make inroads into spreading his own faith/control into the Kingdom of Jhorgule for a long time. Ulric seems to be aiding The Witch King, but the connection is not truely understand. They do seem to be at odds at times as well too. Just a bit to know where I am comming and what I might write about in a adventure. Penn Quote Old time RPGer of +34 yrs, player/DM/GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rust Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 For me it would be The Green. Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open." (Charlie Chan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickMiddleton Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 I picked 'other' because what I'd most like to see are some adventures for Rome, which isn't a monograph. Yes, I know that Veni Vidi Vici is available, but sadly only in PDF format which I know I'll never read (I already have a lot of pdf's I bought and have never read - and probably never will). Given that there is also a Cthulhu Invictus adventure contest running in parallel, and Miskatonic River Press have a CI campaign in editing, I'd say that, if you are willing to put up with some Cthulhu Mythos in your Roman material (or are willing to de-Mythos it) there should be plenty of Roman material about soon... As an aside, if I was going to submit an adventure, I would probably prefer to use my own material than riff off someone else's setting. I think I would have this nagging fear of not quite getting their setting right. But maybe that's just silly. Oh, I quite understand that apprehension. And part of the fun of these adventure contests is that people can indulge themselves and try anything. I just thought it was an interesting companion question to the one about genre to see which of the current monographs people are keenest to see an adventure for...

Bygoneyrs Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Ok just a quick question then, what happens to the Adventures that get picked? Do they make a collection of sorts and sell it as a .pdf amd "printed" version book? Penn Quote Old time RPGer of +34 yrs, player/DM/GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalaba Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I really like Oscar's Invictus adventure monographs so far (still reading) so I would definitely pick up a new book of them. I find them broadly applicable to fantasy, not just Cthulhu, which is good. But my interest in seeing Rome supplements actually has more to do with seeing adventures done in an old historical period that weren't heavily supernatural. Pete's talked about doing something like that in the future, so I remain hopeful. I picked Agents of the Crown, primarily because I've been on a big 19th century kick lately. 20 years of interesting history. Historical maps are actually useful to players (and therefore likely post medieval). Transliteration required, so the maps are not only in a different language, but a different alphabet. 19th C. Kick. Hmmm.... Chinese Gordon and The Taiping Rebellion?

Pete's talked about doing something like that in the future, so I remain hopeful. Unfortunately, working for Mongoose has sucked up all my time. So no chance of a Rome campaign from me in the near future. It doesn't stop anyone else having a go though!

RosenMcStern Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Our plans are to have another author write adventures for Rome. The book will not be available before 2011, though. But our plans for Rome are not limited to this. I hope to have a new version (not dead tree though) of Veni, Vidi, Vici available soon.

Agentorange Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I voted for aces high, 2 reasons: 1) I don't own The Green or Witchcraft yet so it's kind of hard to comment on them. 2) I thought Aces High was a corkingly good supplement. It actually inspired me to run my first ever 'weird west' game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
