Any interest in a 1e Wilderlands game?

I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.

Any interest in a 1e Wilderlands game?

#1 Post by Chris107 »

Damkina. Successor to the glory of Ghinor in the north. An island fortress-city with an ivory throne and a new towering cathedral.
Fur swathed beauties and great lords spin webs of intrigue in a glittering, icon hung palace. Whilst rough villages of dirt poor peasants huddle in a land untouched by the gentle hand of civilisation.
Wild Elves protect their mega flora forests, Morlock cavemen haunt the high places while tribes of Ghuls worship their mercurial Queen and cling to the bitter passes that separate the Wilderlands from a land that time forgot.
Take your place on this wild frontier. It’s time for more High Adventure!

Ivory Throne-Scarlet Citadel.

A suggested campaign for 1st Edition, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
To be initially played by post with the intention of it following on from my current City State of the World Emperor campaign when it reaches it’s conclusion; likely early next year. Played, text only each Tuesday 1930-2230GMT

Rules: First Edition Dungeons & Dragons. UA only as advised by DM. Characters to be rolled together as part of a meet and greet style session here or on my Discord channel.

Experience Points 20% of PHB. No experience for gold. No training required, it’s assumed to be an ongoing process.
After playing in a number of online games for more than a decade I’ve come to realise that standard experience points just don’t work. I feel this system will suitably reward time played.

Example Experience Chart.

Fighter Table.

0-400 1st level Veteran
401-800 2nd level Warrior
801-1,600 3rd level Swordsman
1,601-3,600 4th level Hero
Etc.

Character Generation Method. 4d6 choose the best 3. In order. S. IQ. W. D. Co. Ch.
Initially generated Human PC’s are considered to come from the Damkina region and will therefore likely be Ghinorean, Alryan Tharbrian or Skandik. They receive a uniform bonus of +1 to all stats (or +10% on exceptional strength) with a maximum of 18 (00).
Maximum Hit Points at 1st level.
All other races are as the Players Hand Book.

Anyone interested in playing let me know.

Just an FYI, while I can't play in this game, I wanted to let folks know that Chris is a veteran 1e DM, and has mucho experience in PbP and Chat games. I know Chat has had a resurgence of interest here, and 1e is always of interest it seems. So this PbP should be a fun one. Be well everyone!!
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

This looks interesting but I am working Tuesday's at that time. I also currently don't do anything on Discord, I tried once before and my computer got corrupted so I avoid it. Chat here is super easy though.

Cool, I can't commit to any more games right now, but always cool to see Wilderlands games...

This also caught my attention because in my PbP game here, the PCs just arrived at Damkina... But not the Damkina you're thinking of, for the game is my Classic Traveller Wine Dark Rift campaign, with world names stolen from the Wilderlands focusing on place names sort of close to the Wine Dark Sea...

Have fun!

Hi. Colour me interested, I've always wanted to revisit AD&D every since an aborted attempt to do such a game in my teens. I'm a newbie on these forums, though as soon as my first posts are approved (including this one) I'll be ready to go :D
