   Aurora Syndrome

   Read More...

   Several decades ago people started reporting seeing things that weren’t there. Or rather scientists started to note that some people who reported seeing things that others couldn’t were starting to agree with each other in surprising detail. Sure there have always been trends such as alien watchers agreeing on broad details, but these were very specific details. Sightings of a particular type of six leaved plant growing in helices under damp bridges. Or seeing new breeds of rabbits with unusual fur patterns. Mundane things from otherwise normal people that only drew attention because of the fact that no one else saw them. The sightings varied by region and time as would expected of animals and planets in different climates around the world, but the most striking and exotic thing was that everyone afflicted reported seeing auroras on otherwise clear nights. And thus in the popular parlance the affliction became known as Aurora Syndrome. There was a bit of a media fuss, but since most of these people were otherwise completely sane they were soon released. And being sane most of them kept quiet about future sightings to blend in. In the short excitement tuned news cycle of modern life, this wasn't much of a story, so Aurora Syndrome faded into the background. It became something children were diagnosed with early in their lives and learned to keep to themselves or only talk about with others that had the syndrome.

   Powderhorn's One-Shots

   The Mystery of Elderglen

   

   Hail, brave adventurers! Your courage, cunning, and strength are sought for a quest of high intrigue and danger.  An esteemed academic from the renowned city of Erilune has tasked you with a mission:  to retrieve a potent arcane artifact hidden within the foreboding reaches of a sorcerer's lair near the isolated village of Elderglen.

   About five days distant, the academic promises that this will be an easy journey, and anticipates your return in a fortnight.  The reward for the artifact is a sizable 1000 silver pieces, enough to make it well-worth your while.  However, the more savvy amongst you realize that 1000 silver for a simple "step and fetch" job is far more money than the task otherwise suggests.  And besides, if it were so simple, the academic could just send a Grad Student, after all.

   However, and perhaps against your better judgement, you have accepted this quest, and find yourself four days into your journey, a day's walk outside of Elderglen.

   Players will be asked to create a character using the World's Without Number rules, as written. A free version of the rules is readily available online. To start with, this game is designed to be ran as a series of one-shot adventures. The idea is to allow people to have characters that progress, and potentially even die. At the end of each one-shot, there will be a chance to break, write a new adventure, re-recruit, retire characters as desired, roll new characters as desired, and continue on.

   For this first adventure, as part of the migration to Baldr, my hope is to bring in new players. As such, new players will take priority, however I will also likely over-recruit, as I anticipate a high level of attrition with newer players, as is the nature of Play-by-Post. That means, if you're interested, regardless of whether you are brand new to the website or an old hand, please apply!

   For myself, I am also fairly new to Worlds Without Number. It is a rules set that I find really interesting to read, but have not had a chance to practice as much as I would like. Patience will be needed all around, however I believe that, together, we can have a great time weaving a new myth!

   This game is intended to be a series of one-shots where players will have their character that can progress, but each one-shot has a defined beginning and end. In essence, this will allow for different stories to be told with different players as people come and go, but still allow for character progression for those who want to stay.

   Wild Wild Wasteland

   The wastes are a land where the law is far away and justice is had at the muzzle of a gun. Grab your duster and saddle up the Iron Horse, rev the engine and let's get going.

    

   Fair warning, this is a Penchant game so you know what you're in for :D

    

   This is a genre mashup of Wierd West, Dieselpunk and Aetherpunk. It takes place in a fantasy world of my own creation. This is not Tolkien fantasy in the least. No elves, dwarves, etc.

    

   I'm still filling in the details, but I feel like there's enough down that you know what I'm working towards. I'm looking for thematic characters and dedicated players. Pop in and start an app or ask me some questions on the Character Creation topic.

   Star Wars: The Dawn of Defiance

   What is Dawn of Defiance?
   Dawn of Defiance is the name given to a series of 10 linked adventures that Gamemasters can use to create an entire campaign for their players. Set two years after the events of Revenge of the Sith, the adventures in the Dawn of Defiance campaign are designed to provide players and GMs with the iconic Star Wars Roleplaying Game experience, set against the backdrop of the tyranny of the Galactic Empire.
   
   The Dawn of Defiance campaign takes the heroes all the way from 1st level up to 20th level, and features an ongoing storyline that progresses over the course of the campaign. Each adventure should provide the heroes with ample challenges to gain two levels per adventure.

   Intended as an expanse-full campaign for FR enthusiast, set in the Realms for 4-5 PCs, this game will proceed through a series of smaller adventures set in a larger campaign arc starting in the year 1362 DR. Instead of making grand promises of a long-running campaign, we'll take it one step at a time. Hopefully, we'll enjoy a long run.

   An Offer You Can't Refuse

   The 90's were a good decade.  A good decade to die.

   And now an opportunity has come up to get out from being a pawn in amongst all the levels of elder politics.  The prince of Savannah has put out word that he is welcoming kindred of a certain age to come to Savannah and be given a seat on the council of ancillae, which for a vampire that has only been embraced for a trio of decades is certainly a step up in status.

   Why is he doing this? Well, it seems that while he was on a year long visit to the court of Buffalo, something happened in his city, and a vast quantity of the vampires... went missing.  The rumors are generally certain that something performed a purge of the kindred in the city, but whatever did it, was very careful to leave no trace... and no botched jobs.

   This will be a Vampire 4e(20th anniversary) WoD game set in the modern day in Savannah. It will be a sandbox with interweaving threads, an emphasis on survival, politics and establishing your character in the chaos of an apparent power vacuum.

   The 90's were a good decade. A good decade to die. And now, starting to really feel like you have this new unlife under your feet, you're being sent to set up life in a new city, Sleepy Savannah of all places. If only it was an offer you could say no to, but politics in the world of the Camarilla don't really give you a lot of wriggle room when your elders say jump.

    Secret '67

    They called it the Summer of Love. Well, I can tell you, there wasn't much love in Peking, Saigon or Haifa. It might not have been close to all out war, but there was still very much a struggle between West and East for domination. Armies, guerillas, spies, propaganda. Lies and treachery the world over.

    I should know, because I was there.

    Secret '67 is an espionage roleplay set fifty-six years ago, during the Cold War between the US and the USSR. As the Sixties swung, both sides in this struggle competed for influence in an array of theatres, most notably in Vietnam, but in many other countries as well. When arms were not suitable, words and covert action would be used.

    This freeform game revolves around a British-based Covert Action Team, whose mission is to conduct special operations for the Secret Intelligence Service and its allies around the world. With its operatives utilising an array of covers, CAT's job is to get in, do the job and get out.

    It's a colourful yet dark world, where no-one is to be fully trusted and you should always have two escape plans - at least.

    Put on your bell bottoms and unlock the Ford Cortina - it's time to enter the world of 60s espionage.

    Adventures on the Uktar Atoll

    The Uktar Atoll sits about two days travel by boat from the Lordship of the Isles. These low islands are set with a few hills, a rocky plateau, and a lot of jungles. They’ve been used as a secret pirate stronghold, have been home to a number of strange and esoteric cults, and have a small populace of halflings living on the northernmost isle – descended from the halfling servants that survived an earlier sinking of a pair of pirate ships. One of those ships somehow ended up not quite “sunk” so much as “propped up” on one of the islands.

    Expedition to Undermountain 2

    

    No one knows what lurks in the depths of the mad archmage’s halls . . . But you’re about to find out.

    Day, night, I can no longer tell. Gargoyles carried off the wizard while we were roping our way down Belkram’s Fall. Evendur the paladin fell beneath the axe of a blood-maddened minotaur two rests later, then Ironhewer stumbled into a magical portal and vanished screaming. We dared not follow him. It is said that these halls hide treasure beyond imagining, but even if we found Halaster’s hoard in the next chamber, we are so hopelessly lost that I doubt I would live to spend a copper of it.
    - - -

    Congratulations, friend.

    You are one of the six souls who dare.

    But wait!

    What exactly is it that you dare?

    You dare challenge Undermountain.

    Will it be you and your companions who triumph?

    Or will it be the home of horror and monsters?

    Let's find out.

    Durlag’s Tower

    Adventurer's League Game

    East of Beregost, nestled in the outskirts of the Wood of Sharp Teeth, Durlag’s Tower has intrigued and yet stymied adventurers for decades. Stuffed full of mechanical traps and arcane wards, and rumored to be inhabited by fiends, very few have managed to extract any REAL treasure from the former home of Durlag Trollkiller. However, a powerful item in the ancient fight against the giants is said to be housed there, and the cloud giant Baron Rajiram has committed significant resources toward recovering it. After a pleasant tea in her garden, SEER calls upon you to beat him there and put a stop to his efforts!

    Eberron: New Cyre

    Welcome Cyran citizens and visitors to our refuge. Take a weight off your feet and tell us the tales of your travels in the Dead Grey Mists into the grave of our homeland. What monsters and horrors have you found there? What remnants of artifice and magic lurk there still?

    New Cyre (formerly the Brelish Camp) is a town in eastern Breland and the new home of the refugees of the ruined nation of Cyre. Beginning as a refugee camp, it has grown into a large town, as well as a beacon and symbol of hope for the scattered Cyran refugees of Khorvaire.

    "These Brelish laws are fit for Breland, but they have no authority over the sons and daughters of Cyre." -
    Prince Oargev, private remarks to close aides on the Brelish legislation granting them the land of the Brelish Camp for their own use.

    In the world of Eberron, in the continent of Khorvaire, the nation of Cyre suffered a terrible fate at the end of The Last War. A horrible, magical effect encompassed the entire land, destroying all that lived within the borders and twisting the very land so that it can no longer be recognised. Nobody knows the cause but the fear of it being repeated went some way to bring an end to The Last War.

    The Mournland, as Cyre has been renamed, contains the treasures of an entire nation, magical secrets, and material that the prince of that nation seeks for his new home. The town of New Cyre, less that four years old, is struggling despite former citizens of Cyre bringing their skills and wealth to the town, despite help from the dragonmarked houses, and despite the charity of Breland's King Boranel. Most people came here with nothing but the clothes on their backs or were released prisoners of war with nothing to their names, not even a sword or bow. The charity of King Boranel is wearing thin as rumours of an uprising of Cyrans within his borders has reached him. The dragnmarked houses have been generous but they expect a return on their investment in the town's prosperity that has yet to be delivered.

    Prince Oargev is doing his best to hold it all together but he is a prince without a nation and his position is precarious. Monsters emerge from the Dead-Grey Mists of the Mournland with increased regularity and his town is becoming a way station for treasure seekers looking to fill their pockets from the corpse of his homeland.

    Where do you fit within New Cyre?
