OSR/classic modules advice for a (weird) fantasy Scotland campagin?

Amleth · February 10, 2017, 12:39:29 PM

Thanks Omega for pointing out Imagine issues & HR3 Celts Campaign. All HR are GREAT! Have you read HR4 A Mighty Fortress? A solid Elizabethan sourcebook.

I just bought Secrets of the Wyrwoode (2016, Luigi Castellani)... if you like this thread, you have to check it out :

The standing stones at the heart of the
ancient forest known as the Wyrwoode
once was the headquarter of a savage druid cult.

But those barbaric days lie in the past.

Or do they?

Children are being kidnapped on new moon nights
as fairy raiders from the old forest rampage throughout the Downs.

Are you going to be the hero that brings peace to the duchy?

Or are you going to use for evil the secrets discovered
in the fairy realm on the Other Side?

The forest known as the Wyrwoode is a pretty normal wood, but once it -and its ring of standing stones- was sacred ground to an ancient and quite savage druid cult that
was disbanded by the local duke a couple of centuries ago.

Quote from: Herne's Son;945034Yes, sorry, i was thinking of it more as a good resource, rather than thinking in terms of adventures.

Dude, seriously. Why do you do this? Your dick jokes aren't funny, and all they serve to do is grind an interesting discussion to a halt. Over, and over, and over again. This is the same crap you used to pull on RPG.net before you got kicked off of there. If you don't have anything worthwhile to add to a discussion, why not just shut the hell up?

It's because he just wants to piss on somebody looking for help. The Miniatures Page is full of the same variety of internet-jackass.

1) Because it amuses me, and I really don't care if anybody else finds my humor funny.
2) Because your tears of rage are delicious.
3) Because if somebody is going to be lecturing and pushy instead of making a polite request, I'm going to double down, because fuck petty authoritarian assholes.
4) Because if somebody can't ignore a dumb joke instead of letting it "grind an interesting discussion to a halt" that really, truly is not my problem

Forget it.

Pretty much a thread-crap of a very productive thread. We don't have enough of these to throw them away with derails!

Back on topic please.

Graeme Davis has written some pretty excellent Celtic-themed scenarios over the years.

He's got lots of them on his website for free download:

See? That's called "ignoring a dumb joke you don't like." Works a treat.

OP, I'm not really familiar with horror games, but have you considered looking for some horror adventures and reskinning them for fantasy? Even "Hound of the Baskervilles" could be something like what you're after with a little modification.

Yeah, but I'm used to your tedious "jokes". For people who don't know your tiresome schtick, you just come off as a disruptive asshole.

Boo. Also, hoo.

Oh, yeah, I have

I have a lot of horror tropes in mind (ghosts, weird forests, undeads, etc.). What you propose is more or less Ravenloft editorial line (for example, "Hound of the Baskervilles" is "Howls in the Night").

Thanks! I LOVE G. Davis work, but was not aware of this web page.

Reskinning horror is a great idea there's a classic CoC 'adventure' set on the Scottish highlands called Horror on the Glen available in Green and Pleasant Land.

That was quite a good book in general.

"I played with Gary" is pretty much all he has to offer. That's why he is widely ignored.
