This sounds really good - you have put lots of thought into the background of the campaign.

Just be ready for your PCs to take unexpected turns - you can make plans, but you can never really predict where your game will go!

Best of luck! Post updates if you have the chance.l

Part 6 – Endgame, or Real Tomb Raiders Have Braids We come back to searching the huge debris filled room. There are several side chambers with sarcophagi along the walls, presumably belonging to the seven barbarian kings that fell under the sway of the ancient demon. A few of them have already been...

Part 5 – Drums in the Deep, or Snake Bite Loved And that’s when the water thing attacked us. The creature popped right out of the pool with the statue and surprised the heck out of us. We got lucky and made fairly short work of it. Never trust water in a dungeon! We start exploring some of the side...

Part 4: Close Calls Are Our Business And Business Is Good We spend another night in the dragon’s lair, wanting to be fully healed and rimmed with spells when we approach the cliff face. Crossing from land mass to land mass means getting into the water and putting another bridge back into its moorin...

Part 3 – The Best Laid Plans . . . The next wave into the warehouse turns out to be a small group of kobolds. We are so happy its just another kobold patrol that we nearly hug them with gratitude, rather than pound them into guacamole. Nearly. We take a breath and look around, ready for the next wa...

Part two : In which our intrepid adventurers may have bitten off more than they could chew. The next day Finbar, Fletch and Zander returned to the fortress in the swamp. We decided to go east on a smaller bridge and try to circumnavigate the front gate all together. We would post ourselves on a sma...

Glad you liked it JediOre. It was a ton of fun reliving last weeks game. We are using the 3.5 rules with a fair bit of tweaking, and the gestalt character option from Unearthed Arcana. We role played the barbarian tribe encounter. It was fun - the GM had it where the whole village laughed when we tr...

How would you fine people use shrek from the movies in xcrawl? Interesting. Okay try this on: an ogre gets captured and brought into the games. He is a bit less evil than average - a sort of progressive oger who really just wants to be left alone. He beats hell out of every adventurer he faces as w...

Being a log of my adventures (as a player) in Legacy of the Savage Kings DCC. The characters: Finbar , 5th level dwarf fighter/ wizard gestalt. Finbar is the smart guy, our strategist and our only arcane spellcaster. He is an extremely upright lawful good hero and his greatest challenge thus far has...

That sounds good - I like the idea of the Apprentice DJ:

"Two-headed ogre you disappointed all of us. You didn't even score a single hit. And you fell for that stupid illusion. Ogre . . . you're fired!"

(Ogre bursts into flames)


hehehehehe

How did I read your post and see "PhoenixCrawl"??? Somebody had a bit too much fun during New Years . . . I'm glad you and your crew enjoyed the dungeon. Yes, that one definatley needs more for your rogue/ specialist to do - try another Xcrawl adventure (ESPECIALLY the Phoenix Crawl, oddly...

Hey there! 27K GP is probably a fair amount for your characters in the Phoenix Crawl. You might consider the sponsorship packages that are listed in the Appendix (p 79). If you are going to use one of the sponsorship packages consider giving them less starting gold (say 18K) to make up for it. The s...

Well, in Xworld Gold Talks and BS walks - and the Div IV Brooklyn Crawl, the first ever full lethal Div IV event, had the highest ratings ever. So who knows . . .


Hope all are well,

Brendan

My group is currently in a X-crawl campaign and would love to try out the new rules. We would all be willing to sign the NDAs. We play weekly and are pretty good at putting rules through their paces. Check your private messages! Gave you my email. As soon as you get in touch with me we'll get start...

I had to put my Eatherscope game aside for the playtest I'm running but I will pick it back up eventually.

Eatherscope rocks!



- LaBoss

We wouldn't be playing online - I would be sending you the materials so you and your group could test out the new classes and rules. I'll need a signed NDA from all players in every group. Beyond that I don't need much committment. I hope that you can send me honest detailed feedback on what you lik...

Hey All, I am looking for groups familiar with Xcrawl to help playtest the new edition of the game. I really need some detailed feedback! Note that the new rules are NOT 4E, they are a modified version of 3.5 with five new character classes and a new Fame system, among other changes. All participant...

Awesome! Find out about Zig Con yall!! be well, Brendan XCrawl Hall My apologies to DR Hook and the Medicine band (Freakers Hall) Original Lyrics found at: http://www.getlyrics.com/ Well there's gonna be an XCrawl Tonight at the XCrawl hall And you know, you're invited one and all Come on babies gre...

Hey FMOI, Good question! Do you use the Xcrawl: SellOut! supplement? If you do check out the Expanded Fame rules. Once a Crawler earns 101+ points of fame, he can start turning in his normal (temporary) Fame Points for Permanent Fame Points. Permanent Fame Points represent the enduring sort of fame ...

Hey, I've got a game that we're starting the characters off in college, where they'll start off playing Div IV for the first couple crawls.....Does Div 4 pretty much mean lvl 1 with starting levels? And I'm still kinda fuzzy on on what counts as nonlethal spells.....pretty much if it doesn't do any...

Astonishing send off. A fantastic way to honor a gamer.

rest in peace -

Brendan

9 - She's Lost Control - Joy Division (c'mon, this song *has* to be included for this Crawl) Yeah your feeling it! My recommendations for any Xcrawl songs list (with the caveat that they are all my taste, specifically what I was listening to when I wrote it). 1. Mr. Death by The Fat Man And Team Fa...

Hip!

Again, sadly, my players wanted to play straight up vanilla XCrawl, so that's what they're getting. I'll get back to this someday, I swear!

Vanilla Xcrawl?? Now there's a phrase I never heard before!

This is really interesting - I love the way you are working their academic life into the game. Have you ever played the venerable space opera RPG Traveler? They have a system for figuring out the key events of your players back story with a few die rolls - roll well and you spend four years getting ...
