Troll Lord Games

Alright, simple enough question. Where are you currently Crusading?

Though our campaign doesn't start till Monday I've got to go with East Mark.

Currently we are campaigning in Ilshara, my own world.

I allways tend towards my own settings, currently a pseudo celtic/medieval setting, fairly low level and magic poor (magic users being very rare).
D.

Coming from a different old school game to C&C i still use the old world.

Aldrazar of Hackmaster fame.

3 years of campaign building before i switched to C&C (less is more imho) doesnt get scrapped from a system change.

My C&C game is set in the Forgotten Realms, but when it gets reset, I'll probably shift it over to Greyhawk.

Doing my own world from now on. I got tired of canned settings and decided to get Theia off the drawing board an onto the table. However I will admit I did add in the Eastmark and Haunted Highlands but they are drop-in settings anyhow.

Almost the same for me, I don't have Dragonlance in my world. You can add Blackmoor and Ravenloft to my list.

Yeah, my campaign world is a patchwork quilt of many of the settings, since the vast majority of them are just regions or a continent. I didn't do this world until Erder and Unklar came along. Unklar gave me the perfect way to have all these settings on one world and still have the histories that they do.

I only have DragonLance because I like draconians (I refuse to use "dragonborn.") And the Cha'asi elfs. And the Sea of Glass.

Been half-tempted to adventure in the strange world of R'ksouw....

You forget you're a time zone or two away. Carry over makes it #36 in Arkansas.

Weird but true.

I'm thinking that, if given the reins, I will place a Crusade on the Warden.

I'm an ex-realms junkie with a wrap up happening shortly after the Time of Troubles. All significant events following this part never were of interest though it was amusing to see the late TSR and early WOTC start to exploit areas I had already messed around with (for one reason or another).

That said, Aihrde represents the closest ideal to the homebrew I was designing and perfect in terms of feel so I switched to it and have only crusaded in this setting.

However, I consider the Haunted Highlands and the East Mark as both being in my Aihrde.

Should I ever do a bit of Spelljammer, I suspect the a version of the Warden would make an appearance.

I'm glad you mentioned that. It's one of those things I keep intending to check out but forever fail to look at. Fixing to download the gaz now.

I love draconians, too, serl. In the "generc class" 3.5 game I'm doing, The draconians are the secretive ones in the shadows, just out of sight on the players' horizon.

East Mark and the Castle. Its been a lot of fun and my players have fallen in love with the place. We've made it a bit more fantastic and less Renny but its still got everything in there.

Also been messing around with my own Homebrew just doing one shots and the like till it starts to gel more. Its given me an excuse to dig out all my old notes from the early days and pillage them for the few high points that didn't just suck.

I'm running my party in Greyhawk, using CZ as the first level of Castle Greyhawk, and then fleshing out with CotMA and the levels written by Rob Kuntz.

It's Greyhawk, except for a couple of changes -- the Scarlet Brotherhood are not out in the middle of nowhere, instead being a secret society right in the Flanaess (the Father of Obedience is hidden somewhere in Urnst -- never did like the "COBRA Island" feel of the Brotherhood's lands), and the Horned Society are bigger bads than Iuz (I'm using the "Horned Knight" sttas someone posted a while back here as the stats for individual members of the order) -- mostly because Iuz is still imprisoned, waiting for the PCs to find.

My players are having a lot of fun with the setting, so far.

HA! Awesome way to put it, AND another reason I love 'em.

As for the games I'm involved with I chose Greyhawk because the largest C&C game I'm playing is set in the City of Hawks itself. Other then that, we got one in the Rhuinlands (my homebrew) and another using Collector's Edition C&C also set loosly in Greyhawk.

Dammit...y'all are making me miss some Greyhawk. I was debating the next "reboot" of my game between Aihrde and Greyhawk, but I may have come to a decision.

You have the "Cradle of the World" maps? Notice that mountain chain on the right hand side? Now look at the Greyhawk Maps. Notice that chain of mountains on the left? They match very well with the mountains on the right hand side of the Cradle of the World.

Want to explain their co-existence? Unklar, being the extremely powerful god that he is, made the Cradle of the World area look like a Bright Burning Desert for a very long time.

I voted homebrew although I'm not strictly using any particular settign info beyond 'this is where the adventure is.' I determined when I started my current C&C campaign that I was just going to play through the Basic and Expert series modules from classic D&D by telling the players the local situation at the begininng, and after the adventure was completed, moving them on to the next one without any need to 'locate' the adventure sites in any kind of larger picture.

I figure this is the best way to keep the players focused on the 'itinerant adventurer' aspect of their careers at this point. Once they reach level 9 or 10 (Name Level in the old parlance) and set up their own little patch of land, I'll introduce them to a larger campaign world, but even then, only that which concerns the kingdoms immediately surrounding them. And as an added bonus, the CKG might actually be out by that point so I'll have some cool new rules to do it with
Mind you, if this group enjoys that aspect of play, once we finally get there, I might brush off the old Birthright material and set up a campaign in Hogunmark...

IMHO, AFAIK, YMMV.

I've run "episodic" campaigns like that before and they can be pretty fun. I intially had included that in the poll as well but stupid board said I had to many options for the poll.

Limiting my options it is.
