Madri's Expedition
Adventurers, Explorers and those who want to become such,
Find your way to the village of Greyreed and become part of an expedition into the misty swamp.
The renowned traveler, author and explorer Madri is looking for brave souls to accompany him on his latest expedition to find what is lost in the ever lasting mists.
Hey everyone. If this short blurb got your attention, and you feel ready to head out for the expedition, that's great. And if it wasn't enough, here is some more information for you.
Game Master:
So, here's a little bit about me. I have been mostly caught in the position of forever GM for the last ten years, so I got a little bit of experience with this. For the last five or so years I mostly played Dungeon World, which I would call the big brother to the System we will be using for this adventure. I also have some experience with pbp, mostly being a player in an anime forum roleplay. So if anything happens, that might be due to this, feel free to give me some advice.
Game System:
World of Dungeons with modified exp system.
World of Dungeons is a really rules light powered by the apocalypse system usable for classical and deadly fantasy adventures. The use of only a single move in combination with really simple classes makes this one great for the type of narrative game I like to run, as there are little rules to bog down the game. For this game, I changed some of the rules, such as using dungeon world style XP on a miss, or quantum gear I stole from wodu remix. As all the rules fit onto a single page, it shouldn't be to hard to understand them.
Madri's Expedition
And now, some more details regarding the adventure.
This adventure was created as a oneshot, and I ran it successfully at least three times. It's all about exlporing the misty swamps, a region that is held in a constant state of thick fog and houses some secrets.
The explorer Madri, who is looking for the next opportunity for some important discovery, to get even more famous than he is at the moment is organizing a small expedition consisting of him and the player characters, after he has found some hints about something that's hidden in the swamp. But as every good explorer would, he doesn't tell you what it is, as he fears you want to steal his fame.
For all that wonder, Madri is an NPC, who is both the quest giver, as well as an companion to the group, but don't be afraid of some DMPC saving the day stuff, as he is not quite as useful and adept in exploring, as the books he has written and tales told about him would make you think.
So if you decide to join the adventure, you'll be part of a crew that explores the misty swamps, on their way to old ruins and long lost treasure to be found.
