The future looks to be quite exciting. I think we won't need to worry about C&D issues if we keep things free, which I feel is an important part of the Oldhammer Ethos.

Course it could just have been one of our daft games from way back in the past.<br /><br />We did talk about novel scenarios before and that's why we looked into making BLOOD, the thought of losing so much hard work due to a CD order had some people worried. <br /><br />However all that said I'm game, I quite like the idea of drawing up some old school bamboo peasant huts, fences, that sort of thing. You'd have to look to say the perry twins for armed Japanese peasants!Ernyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106035249657749275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-79500836020404533022013-03-15T17:46:27.308-07:002013-03-15T17:46:27.308-07:00Magnificent Sven anyone?!

I'd much prefer a campaign pack set in Cathay than, say, a full-blown Cathay supplement. It's a common urge among fans to fill in all the holes left in the source material, when in reality it is because we only ever got rich narrative glimpses into the broader Warhammer setting that we became so hooked in the first place. The story sounds excellent, and will keep the spark of imagination alive while providing a solid campaign experience. I'd say start up a Google Docs file and we can start outlining the plot, slotting in characters and figuring it out : )Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733848423065917887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-79734756444419561402013-03-15T15:51:04.021-07:002013-03-15T15:51:04.021-07:00I also liked the concept of a campaign based on Pl...I also liked the concept of a campaign based on Plague Daemon. But please, please don't use the WFRP stats of the main characters as the basis for the "high level heroes". A soldier and two wizards' apprentices (without even a single battle magic spell to their name) against a Plague Daemon? Hah! A single nurgling would be too big a challenge. Of course, if the characters started off as three normal humans in the first game, and gained 5 levels every game they survived after that, then by scenario five the surviving characters might, MIGHT have a chance against one of old Father Nurgle's favorite sons.Lead Legionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12700198528204457272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-6766283319083226782013-03-15T15:41:14.899-07:002013-03-15T15:41:14.899-07:00I really like your Seven Samurai suggestion and th...I really like your Seven Samurai suggestion and this could form the basis for a great narrative campaign (at least 3 linked battles I should think).
