Dark deeds in very dark places

[EvilGinger]

To announce that from the end of January I will be starting my long delayed Drow campaign

it will run on Sunday 4pm to 10 pm at the gaming pit in Burton on the last Sunday of every month

I need five players and it will use pre generated characters

I am hoping that my niece will come over and take part her condition allowing.

Please post if interested

Characters avalible

Drow elf warlord (provisionally booked for Miss Evilginger)
Drow elf wizard
Drow elf ranger
Drow elf fighter multi classed warlord
Hobgoblin fighter
Hobgoblin fighter
Goblin rogue

[EvilGinger]

Should have said all characters will have the choice of male and female characters and I will have painted a figure for each in each option. I will also have written up a bit of background for each which you can expand on should you wish to.

I will also have appropriate scenery and maps for all encounters as well as munchies and possibly a kitchen curry if you are all good.

[pagbsc]

Me me me...If I can persuade the missus to let me.

Could I be Hobgoblin fighter or Goblin rogue please.  I am easy on the gender.

[EvilGinger]

Thats one victim see you soon.

happy Christmas and a prosperous new year

[EvilGinger]

All characters sketched out need the form fillable PDF ctr sheet I was promised as my early RQ game proved that my hand writing was unreadable by Burton gamers. Adventure sketched out thanks to having Miss EvilGingers 4e books and the first three encounters designed.

Painting miniatures for the characters and some of the monsters in the adventure looking for more to inspire me.

I am also in the light of the Underdark map set being unavailable designing my own encounter maps.

look forward to running it but need more people to volunteer to be Victims Players

[EvilGinger]

Character sheets all done and ready for a trip to the printers one page backgrounds also done for the players to expand on if they wish in process. Figures for party all purchased and well on in process of painting I will post pictures of them when they are finished.

Every thing looks to be on schedule for the end of january 2009 but I still need more players.

[EvilGinger]

Update

All is in hand but for a start in February not end of January. I am aiming for around the 22nd all the characters maps etc, are done but I am in the middle of setting up a new business and have hundreds of figures to paint and still have to go and see Miss EvilGinger to give the EvilerGinger one first refusal of a place in the game.

Sorry for the delay but as tends to be the case Life has interfered with my gaming

I also need many more volunteers so roll up

[EvilGinger]

Its official the advertisement is posted on the spirit games site we run the last Sunday in February (22/2/09) which is when I get older so I will be on really evil form

Over the next week or so I will post some of the public background.

[EvilGinger]

Just to remind you all that my first session is on my birthday so there will be  nibbles and stuff as well, but unfortunately not cake as I can cook but have never managed cake successfully.

I like the sound of this but not sure I can really commit to a regular sunday (one of the few days I always have free), my social calendar is rather full at the moment (never thought I would ever say that!!)

Sorry maybe another time.

Introduction
The adventure starts in the Spire of X'androth an great fortress of the Drow of the kingdom of Nar'vendra on its deep northern border. The spire is built into a great Stalagmite which reaches nearly a mile up from the floor of the great cave. It was formed around a spike of rock jutting out of the west side of the cave and was long ago encased in hard slick deposits which make it unclimbable without magic or following a narrow torturous path from its base carved by slave labour long ago.

The Tower was built generations ago when the Drow first subdued the Hobgoblin and Goblin tribes of this area and remains a statement to the power of the Drow. It is a statement of might which is now largely no longer necessary since the evil but orderly Hobgoblin lords respect this power and have its existence drummed into them form birth, and these hobgoblin lords have their craven goblin vassals well cowed.

It is only because the Drow know there own politics and don't believe in this seeming order is more than a seeming that it is maintained at all. Even though the growing struggles since with the Beholders and Illithids in the south and the surface Dwarven Mitheril miners in the upper south have slowly stripped it of its garrison of a thousand warrior Drow. The lower works which held most of the garrison are closed and are sealed with fell magic's and only the keep at the top of the spike remains garrisoned by a handful of officers and half a company of Hobgoblin Evaruk (subject soldiers)

The Players are the officers in charge of the outpost
