Poll #291 Pick a theme for Endless Journeys Into Sword and Sorcery #1
Added 2023-01-17 23:16:24 +0000 UTCHey all!
I'll be working on Endless Journeys stuff soon (since it's pretty much a given that Wizards will be changing the OGL). The latest rendition of Endless Journeys will be pretty similar mechanically to Fifth Edition, so if you understand 5e, you'll understand Endless Journeys. You will just need to learn some new terms for certain things.
Since I want Endless Journeys to have more of a "punk edge" to it, I'll be developing an as-of-yet-unnamed sword and sorcery world in the vain of Mörk Borg, Dark Sun, Conan the Barbarian, etc. This is a world where wizards are corrupted beings, clerics workshop dreadful, aberrant gods, and adventurers care more about robbing the wealthy than they do helping those less fortunate than they. Monsters are much more rare in these worlds, and often truly horrific. Instead, the adversaries you face are the obscene bootlickers that serve wicked high priests and vile practitioners of diabolical mage.
Good times all around.
Below, I've come up with a few names for a starter adventure for this campaign setting. Pick the one you think sounds coolest. I'll determine the rest of the details later.

The book of the dead may have the adventurers name in it and could be the reason the haunts are hunting them

Then it turns out they somehow turned everybody into druids that can shapeshift into different beasts and each different part of the adventure the players can turn into a different beast.

2023-01-18 00:45:51 +0000 UTCWe're introduced to the Necromancer, he meets a fitting lover/rival/both in the Dark Queen, and then we jump ahead to their kid

2023-01-18 00:05:01 +0000 UTCYeah, seems like Curse of the Necromancer, The Dark Queen and the Necromancer, and The Necromancer's Daughter are a trilogy

2023-01-18 00:04:02 +0000 UTCYeah, they all kinda go together, eh?
