Introduction Over on my Youtube channel the Dungeon Crawl Classics solo campaign is going well, but since I can't shoot the videos as often as I'd like I keep forgetting the rules and having to look them up during the sessions, leading to more editing time before I can get the videos online. I decided to start a DCC solo game in my free time, to play offline. This should help me get used to the rules and learn them a bit faster, plus I've been itching to play a traditional hexcrawl campaign lately too. This is a funnel adventure called The Ruined Keep. It's by Daniel J. Bishop and is available for free as part of Sanctum Secorum Episode 3 . I don't even know what that is, to be honest. I just googled free DCC funnels. I've already finished it but I'll transcribe it from my notebook here. The Adventure Twenty peasants of the small town of Grimbrook seek the Oracle of the Crystal Grotto, rumoured to be at the bottom of the nameless ruined keep near the town...
Let's just get right into playing this time, we can generate the world as we go from here. Tarnen is roughly 20 miles south of the small city of Queenstead, having left his hometown (to be detailed later) and set off for the nearest settlement. One quick note is that I moved "The Beast" from the characters list to the threads list as on closer inspection of the tables it makes more sense for it to be treated as a kind of plot thread than a character. Scene 1 | The Downs | Year 645, 1st of 7th Month | Chaos Factor: 5 Threads: Find work in Queenstead, The Beast Characters: Family, Ally 1, Ally 2, Contact 1 Tarnen has had an uneventful journey north so far, through the region known as the Downs. It's mid morning on the first official day of summer and it's warm and pleasant, with almost no clouds in the sky. (I'm using the simplified weather tables in D30 Sandbox Companion). He's following a well-worn track towards the city so we don’t need any skill rolls or...
Introduction Welcome to my solo campaign of Mythras: Classic Fantasy. We did the prep work for this over on the YouTube channel where you can watch the playlist to get up to speed. In the video series we created our hero Tarnen Setor, the son of a successful bowyer in a grim medieval world mostly populated by humans. His mother died long ago and after his father succumbed to blacklung when Tarnen was 26, he saw his life laid out ahead of him, working in the family workshop, having children with a homely wife and then dying mostly likely the same way as his father, never experiencing life outside their settlement. Since he has an older brother who naturally inherited the business from his father, he realised he could follow his heart and give in to the pull of the outside world, setting out for a life of exploration and adventure. His brother and two younger sisters would be able to handle the family business together anyway. Character Stats I made a bit of a mistake in the character c...
