YOUR campaigns

Omote · Post by **Omote** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 5:35 pm

What campaigns are you running or playing in right now? It doesn't matter what game you are playing/running, as long as you are playing or running.
Running:
v3.5 Necroworld/Bard's Gate/Rappan Athuk Reloaded campaign (1/week).

A hardcore dungeon and city crawl featuring lots of undead, power gaming and loot whoring.
C&C ~ Rhuinlands (homebrew) / East Mark campaign (1-2/month)

A standard C&C game that revolves around a lot of wilderness exploration and mapping. There's some dungeon crawlin', but a lot of wilderness type encounters/adventures.
C&C White Box ~ Greyhawk (1/month)

Adventures set within and around the Free City. This campaign, even though it plays only about once per month is my longest running current campaign at about 30 months.
Playing:

v3.5 Plane-hopping game revolving around the city of Sigil, and the exploring and sacking of a ton of little demi-planes.

v3.5 FR/Undermountain game - In real time our characters have been lost in Undermountain for 2.5 years of nearly weekly play (3/month).

Anybody else want to post about their games?

My current C&C campaign is set in Goodman's Known Realms boxed set, DCC35. It's been going pretty well and has lasted about a year or so by now. The PCs have been at High Cross pretty much the whole time, because it's very much reminiscent of the keep on the borderlands, which makes me happy.

Treebore · Post by **Treebore** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 6:13 pm

Well, my longest running game is the one I run for my family.

C&C in Erde. Its been about 19 months of weekly gaming, on average. Sometimes we play 2 to 4 times per week, depending on Summer schedules and holiday schedules.

I have also been running L5R 3E (D10)all summer, 2 to 3 times per week.

I play in Slimukuotuon's Wed SKYPE game.

I play in Skathro's Sunday game, but its looking like that may be collpasing because Skathro's had to take on a second job.

I play in my wife's campaign, which is largely a fantasy adaptation of the Persian invasion into Vlad Dracul's lands. I don't know if she is going to involve a "vampire" version of Dracul or not.

I play in my older sons C&C game where he has been making use of Goodman and TLG modules. We play that about once every two weeks.

I have created L5R characters for my 15 year old daughters highly political game. One I am assuming she was inspired to come up with from reading "Shogun". It looks like we'll put my game on hiatus to make time for hers.

My younger son wants to run a D20 Warcraft game, but we are having a tough time making time for it.

We will have to wait for another game to go on hiatus. Plus I am in no hurry to play since he is 11 and his "plans" are very monty haul and powergamerish. Nothing I wouldn't expect from a 11 year old, but I am having a hard time getting enthusiastic about it.

I would rather he do another Star Wars D20 SAGA game. He did pretty good with that one last year. His desire to stay close to the movies kept him from being too Monty Haulish or powergamer.

Plus I would like to get a online Legend of the 5 Rings game going. (SKYPE, VEntrilo, etc...) Again, my trouble is time. School is starting back up, thats going to eat up a lot of our time, etc...

C&C, Erde, 1 session (the Gamma World / Metamorphosis Alpha game just ended, with a TPK). I play a gnome druid-wizard whose more like Merlin the Hippie than anything else. You orange, man?

Simple Intuitive Every Genre Engine! (yes, that's SIEGE! and I am hereby copyrighting and trademarking it) superhero game based on the SIEGE Engine for C&C. 1 session, and just my fiance and I.

Don't have time for any others.

Maliki · Post by **Maliki** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 10:05 pm

I have time for just one game, I'm currently running a C&C campaign set in a modified Blacktooth Ridge. We normally play once a week, and the games been going on since November.

Currently...

Nuthin'
Been gameless for about 2 months now.

But, that will be changing in the next 2 weeks when we'll be starting up a Pathfinder campaign.

Still undecided whether it will be d20 or C&C though.

Bowbe · Post by **Bowbe** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 10:15 pm

Our group played through the Necro-City of Brass campaign running from 12th to 22ndish level (some guys died (PERMANENTLY), other replacement players started at lower levels.) that finished up in June.

I'm stoked its finally coming out for the public to get a taste of. The campaign lasted about 11 months playing 1 night a week for about 4 hours per session, with some side questing in the Tower of Jhedophar and a few demi planes I wipped up on the fly just to be a bastard.

It was a VERY high power/power mongering game.

Since June it's been nonstop C&C with the party now approaching 3rd level playing HH... somewhat in reverse. They started just prior to the storyline as has unfolded thus far in the released materials. I must say gaming with them has given me a gold mine of low level material to package into HH goodness as they approach the fabled Crater of Umeshti.

Eventually we will get back to the 3.5 capaign with even higher level dangers and threats, but im seeing that angle as more 1-3 night soirees as breaks from the C&C campaign.

That and the PC party sort of collapsed during the final confrontation with the main BBG of the CoB, leaving one character stranded in Olympus, a second permanently destroyed (LN(E) cleric who chose the BBG's offer of submission to death and died anyhow), a third on the run from the party for total team betrayal (LE Wizard), and a fourth hooking a ride with the betrayer...mainly because it was starting to look like a TPK and he chose flight as the better part of valor. I don't blame him, he's a rogue. This left us with a CG elf cleric and CG half djinn bard that managed to win the day, but at heavy cost of life. Like every single NPC they were trying to save ended up dead. Good times.

I've been CK'ing our Castles & Crusades game for over 2 and 1/2 years (although 3 characters came from D&D before getting the Boxed Set) in Aihrde.

We have played through:

The Rising Knight

Assault on Blacktooth Ridge

Return to Blacktooth Ridge (The Wizening Branch)

Shadows of the Halfling Hall

The Slag Heap

and currently 3/4 through Dark Chateau.

The group consists of:

Human fighter lvl 3

Human wizard lvl 2 (NPC/PC from Malforten)

Elf druid lvl 3

Human paladin lvl 2

Halfling rogue lvl 3

Human cleric lvl 3

Depending on what the group wants to do, I'll probably next run Lion in the Ropes, Eastmark CZ or Wicked Cauldron.

As a player, my AD&D 1E Oriental Adventures PBP game died. Very bummed.

I'm also playing in Treebore's C&C online chat game set in the Haunted Highlands. Great game and I love being a player!!.

Hopefully, Skathros' game will continue. I'm liking what I see in the Dragonlance world.

Playing

* AD&D 1E Game online

* Savage Worlds - Midnight

I just bowed out of a BECMI D&D game (time constraints), too. Running

* C&C Wilderlands Game - running first adventure this Friday!

I'll be running mostly DCCs and 1E modules (converted) in the Wilderlands game, plus of course, a fair amount of overland travel.

Rigon · Post by **Rigon** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 2:30 am

I haven't ran a game in about 5 years, but I may be taking over Skathros' Sunday crew if he has to cancel the game.

I'v been playing in Treebore's C&C HH game. It's a fun campaign. I also play in Skath's Sunday DL game.

THAT sounds like some gaming goodness. SW seems like it would be a great way to play that setting.

slimykuotoan · Post by **slimykuotoan** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 4:12 am

I play in Treebore's Monday night game.

I also CK a Greyhawk campaign every Wednesday night.

...and on Tuesdays, I CK a Saltmarsh campaign with some oilfield workers (in person) every second week or so.

Beyondthebreach · Post by **Beyondthebreach** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 8:54 am

I play in a C&C campaign. My character is a Dwarf Fighter/Cleric Level 2/2 though our DM has allowed me stop progressing as a Fighter to focus exclusively on being a Cleric. (This move was partly motivated by the recent joining of two players - one a Barbarian and one a Ranger).

Our group consists of:

Otug the Uncaring (Half-orc Fighter)

Aysen the Red (Human Wizard)

Merryn (Elf Rogue)

Endi (Human Ranger)

Human Barbarian (umm . . . I forgot his name - he just joined and I missed last session)

. . . and myself . . . Tholo Grundin, Battlechanter of Clanggeddin Silverbeard
We are currenty exploring Bone Hill . . .

rabindranath72 · Post by **rabindranath72** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 10:43 am

Currently not DMing, I am preparing an LA campaign not set in the Lejendary Earth (probably Hyborian Age).

Last game, about two months ago, I DMed a one-shot for a crew of newbies; Mentzer Basic, the adventure in the DM manual. We had a blast!

Two months ago started a AD&D1e Dragonlance campaign with my wife (the original DL modules, she plays Goldmoon). Currently on hiatus.

Some months ago a Call of Cthulhu campaign, using the Risus rules.

Before that, a C&C Dragonlance campaign set slightly before the Cataclysm. Suspended due to Real Life (me moving to the UK )

Post by **Breakdaddy** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 10:50 am

I've gotten good feedback on my Savage Worlds game as well, so I may run a SW game set in the Aliens universe again soon. Who doesn't love kicking butt as a colonial marine, eh? I wish I had time for more gaming. I am currently in the process of convincing a 3.5 group a friend of mine is in to convert over to C&C, and they are asking me to run a C&C game for them to show them the ropes. I will probably run a one-shot C&C game to get them used to the rules after Gen Con.

Yeah, it is. The guy running it - a regular in my completed Savage Worlds Evernight game - wanted to run the next campaign, and wanted to run Midnight. He was going to do 3.x, but all the players revolted. It was pretty funny. So grudgingly he decided to GM it using SW. Now he loves GMing it, since there is so little bookkeeping - although he's still figuring out how to scale opposition. (In SW, party size really increases your lethality, and we usually have 7 players - and as always, its a fine line to walk between challenging encounter and TPK.)

Jeffery St. Clair · Post by **Jeffery St. Clair** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 5:59 pm

Jeffery, the heretic, here! Let's see...

DMing my face-to-face AD&D homebrew game when it's my turn and DMing the AD&D play-by-post homebrew game that SavageRobby mentioned.

Playing in an AD&D game at home, when it's not my turn to DM, and playing-by-post in half a dozen Basic, AD&D, or 2e games, as well as one Star Frontiers pbp. I'm also playing LA pretty regularly, as well as playing the occasional MA game, depending on who feels like running a game that week.

Our game is currently on hold due to vacations and what not. I'm going on mine next week. I don't like to run a game if someone can't make it. To pass the time we've combine Marvelscape with Heroscape. I'll stopped the game just as the group got to town in the Assault of Blacktooth Ridge module. I think everyone enjoyed the Rising Knight adventure. I'll probably run some of the Wicked Factory modules as well.

The group is still first level, I don't give out xp for treasure:

Human Bard

Half Elf Druid

Elf Ranger

Elf Magic User/Rogue

Half Orc Monk

I plan on running the game till everyone hits 4th or 5th level then take a break to prevent burnout. One of the guys was thinking about doing Pirates/50 Fathoms. After his run I'd probably pickup on Act 2 of my campaign.

dadiceguy · Post by **dadiceguy** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 6:50 pm

My current C&C game is on hiatus, but when running it includes:

Det, human cleric of Jasmine goddess of beauty and luck.

Elwen, elven knight, she belongs to the elven order called the Sunlancers

Tyrnea, human mage.

And I have been playing in a Serenity game playing Joseph Alabama Smith. A gambler with a dark past.

Running my C&C/AD&D hybrid rules set. The setting is Greyhawk CY 576 in which Yggsburgh is located at the confluence of the Ery and the Neen Rivers, locally referred to as the Urt and Nemo, respectively.

Jyrdan Fairblade · Post by **Jyrdan Fairblade** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 1:34 pm

It's been over a month since the last session (I think I have to get a new gaming group), but in theory we're running C&C, on the way from Yggsburgh to Bard's Gate, questing for a holy relic lost on the Mountain of Steel.

kelro · Post by **kelro** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 2:05 pm

I have been running a C&C game for a little over a year now (meets once every two weeks). It is based off of the Shackled City campaign, and I have tossed in all manner of other products. DCC modules, GameMastery stuff, Dungeon and Dragon mag stuff, even some Necromancer Games stuff like bits of Rappan Athuk (I always have to sneak this one in somewhere). The PCs are all 5th or 6th level.

In the next month or so I plan on running Paizo's latest Pathfinder AP using SKYPE. This time though I will be using 3.5 rules.

Hmmm. Keep me posted. I am buying/subscribing to Pathfinder as well, but if you run this on a night I can play....

I'm sort of in the same boat with Pathfinder, I'm tempted to try this using 3.5 rules. (Two of my players would like this one would hate it and the others would probably not care)

The group I've stumbled into surprised me. I was tempted to try and run Pathfinder using d20 because I figured it'd be easier to find a group, and after a few months without game, ANY game would be good.

Found some folks who were interested. Then found out the only reason they were saying d20 was because...

they thought it would be easier to find a game.

Turns out they are primarily AD&D players.

After giving them a C&C PHB, they are wanting to give it a shot. So, looks like Rise of the Runelords will be getting run C&C style here.

Hah-hah! It's funny how the worked out for you. Congratulations of finally finding a game again.

For my contribution to this thread:

I am running a beer-and-pretzels style C&C campaign with wacky characters in a classic D&D-flavored world. The campaign journal can be found under C&C in Cville in the Crusades section. We meet every other week for 3-4 hours and are currently running through Kenzer's Little Keep on the Borderlands.

On the off weeks, I play in a D&D 3.5 game in a homebrew world with pretty much the same group. My character is Kilain Valduum, a hot-tempered dwarven mercenary-turned-priest of Clangeddin Silverbeard. A warrior by training, a cleric by destiny. The party is headed to an underground city to stop a goblin invasion of the surface world.

I'm gearing up to run a new C&C Wilderlands campaign for my wife and several of our friends (mostly all newbies to RPGing). Our first session is only a week and two days away!

Mike Frank · Post by **Mike Frank** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 4:08 pm

Running: C&C campaign that started with ToEE in the Wilderlands started in June of '06. This is our groups primary game. I usually run it for two or three months and take a couple of weeks off to play in the games below. I finally figured out how the game will progress when the party is "finished" at the Temple. Unfortunately, for the players the let a MAJOR NPC escape. Playing: I an LA game that my wife is running. The Hall of Many Panes. I'm playing an unordered Kobold Enchanter/Diviner. He is backed up by a human Noble, human Eclesiast, human Soldier, and a human Elementalist.
Playing: Greyhawk campaign using C&C. I'm playing a human wizard. Other party members are: half-goblin rogue, human paladin, human Cleric.
