NOTE: This is scheduled to be the last session of this short campaign. I want to note 2 things here. New players are still more than welcome to come down and join us! Think of it as a one-shot, and get in one ground floor for our next thing, because we'll be voting on either continuing to play this, start something new, or all go our separate ways. So, come on down, and even if it's your first game, get a vote in what happens next!
Introduction:
Did you hear the story of the Forbidden Lands? Beyond the mountains, beyond the mists of the north? Once, it was called the Ravenland, our promised land. These days, strange creatures haunt those valleys, beasts that should not be, for the land is cursed. The demonic Blood Mist sucked the life out of anyone who dared stray too far from their hearth, and the feared Rust Brothers kept people in line with an iron fist.
Yet, not all is lost. For now, the Blood Mist has lifted and there are those who dare defy the dangers of the world. Adventurers. Treasure hunters. Scoundrels. Not heroes, far from it, but men and women who dare travel the land as they choose and make their own mark on it, unbound by any fate or story set for them. They hunt for ancient treasures, they fight whomsoever gets in their way, they build a new world for themselves on the ruins of the old. They are the raiders of the Forbidden Lands.
What is this?
Welcome to the Forbidden Lands RPG! My plan is to run a short campaign of Forbidden Lands, for about 6 weeks. This game will be session 3 of 6. After that initial 6 weeks, we can discuss continuing or switching to another Year Zero game by Free League Publishing.
It is preferred that players attend all 6 sessions, but it's not required (life happens). I welcome any and all players to my table, old players and new. I look forward to seeing you there, even if its for one or two sessions!
For those who do not know, Forbidden Lands is a Hex Crawl sandbox game set in a low fantasy world. What does all the mean? It means magic is rare, and dangerous; you the players decide what quests, if any, to peruse; and a big part of the game is spent exploring the world via a map that is divided up into hexes.
Explore ancient ruins. Help out villagers who are dealing with bandits and raiders. Learn the lore of the setting as you explore. Fight fearsome and unique monsters. Become and Adventurer in the Forbidden Lands!
System: Forbidden Lands uses Free League Games Year Zero Engine. If you have never played a Year Zero game, don't sweat it, part of this session zero will be spent teaching the game. But in simple terms, it's a d6 dice pool game, where you combine your attribute and skill numbers to see how many dice you roll. 6s are successes. We'll go into more details on site.
Location: Off The Shelf Games (173 Fletcher Pkwy, El Cajon, CA 92020) - Please note there is a $8 per person entry fee at this venue unless you are a member.
