When it came out it didn't seem "serious" enough for me at the time.

Unlike a Syfy movie, this campaign doesn't kill someone every 8 minutes, nor does it employ any bad CGI. ;)<br /><br />@Tom - Indeed.<br /><br />&James - I'm not running it yet. My group has been playing infrequently of late, and we're in the mdist of the module. I guess that's good though, because I haven't 100% decided on the system. I can say that some of the go-to's of my younger years are out due to my dislike of cruch these days. I'm thinking a retro-clone (S&W or Labryinth Lord, leaning LL at the moment) modified to sort of engineer an old schoolish d20 modern. I'll talk about it more here as it gets closer. After all this blogging I'm itching to play it!<br /><br />@Patrick - I remember hearing of Underworld back in the day, but I've never seen it. The Shadowrun-ish "different setting...with elves!" is a thing I sort of wanted to avoid. Immediately, I've got hobogoblins, moonshining ogres, and (maybe) even Okie-by-way of praire-dog halfings, but I've tried to really integrate them into the setting.<br /><br />@Risus - Thanks! I had a google doc that over a period of months, I'd just add a name to as it occured to me.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-83556890846333001362010-07-16T11:03:30.093-04:002010-07-16T11:03:30.093-04:00Awesome.
