This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What have you done with the dungeons beneath CSIO?

Quote from: ningauble;945179Sounds like a fun adventure. I ran a Wilderlands game online but we didn't get a chance to get that deep into the setting background. The background is really weird and unique, you could easily take the whole thing into outer space and do a SF campaign.

Yeah that'd be cool to do some time, Alliance of Elder Races vs the Markab maybe... I run an online 5e Wilderlands game on Dragonsfoot and one time that group discovered evidence of an abandoned Markab orbital battlestation that the Altan Federation had captured with Warforged (magic robots, I treat them like 2000AD's ABC Warriors) & used to launch biogenetic weapons (ie demons) down at the cities of their Orichalan Dragon Lord enemies during the Pious/Philosopher war. I like the idea of taking a bunch of Wilderlands barbarian PCs out into a blasted galaxy filled not with 'new life & new civiliations' but mostly with ancient HR Gigeresque war debris...

Edit: Found it in my notes - the PCs found some crazed demon-worshipping cultists, a captive recited a mantra:

"Mr President, this is Sky Marshall Lamal. Warforged Assault Team Alpha report they now have full control of the Markab Battlestation ANU. All active Bioforms eliminated. They believe nothing encountered was a true Markab Entity. They have activated the Cyst Launchers, and programmed them to target every major city of the Dragon Empire.
Operation Starfall is ready to initiate on the next orbit, sir.
On your command."


I love doing this stuff very occasionally, it creates a strong sense of deep time.
