Dark Refuge

[Atom523]

First off i apologize for necroing my own thread as it has been a long time since anything was said here.

 

I just wanted to mention this to anyone who is interested. On http://darkrefuge.net/BorderWars.html there is an on line campaign going on which has been going on for 25 weeks now. The campaign shows a boarder war between the Southern Earther Colonies and the Northern Kingdoms. What might be interesting is that it is being done by the creator of the game and encourages people who are keeping track with it to make a character and "write letters" about what the guy has been doing in response to what is happening in the war. Each week he reads all the letters and he takes the best ones and implements them into the storyline. He also accepts new spells, weapons, and vehicles that seem interesting and include them into the game. Like i have said before i am not the best with explaining these things so if this sounds even remotely interesting to anyone please check out the site and click on the "Free Stuff" link to check it out.

 

There is nothing to buy for the free campaign anyone can participate in it if their idea is good. Heck the Coalition of Enlightened nations which is a large faction in the Northern Kingdoms was started by a bunch of people who didn't own a single source book, they had just run into us at a Con and were told about the game and visited the website.

 

My own contribution to the campaign is the Daggoga Underground which is a small resistance group of Bastards (Pyromaniac Halflings with no sense of self Preservation)

I enjoy this because it allows anyone who is creative to actually effect the official lore and storyline of the game world without demanding that they buy all the source books.

 

Though if you want to buy they are in general cheaper then D&D books and are far more fun then 4th edition..... ....just sayin

 

I hope that some of you check the border wars out and find it interesting and hope that people give it a chance and submit some letters. The email address that you can send the letters to is on the website i displayed on the first line of the first paragraph.

Sorry, old man. I'm trying to bash through work, and also get a WHFRP campaign written. I don't suppose you could suggest anything on that? Any ideas?

calling me old? (just teasing)

 

Well the best advice i could give is to read through the previous weeks and see if you get to like any of the factions then make up a person and send a message addressed to that person and explain what you want to do to help or hinder. Ether a message directly to a faction or perhaps a journal entry explaining your plan about what you want to do.

 

If you don't have time to read through all of the updates try reading the last few and try to make a small group (perhaps a mercenary group or militia force) and look at which factions are left and offer to lend your assistance to them. Don't just offer help, offer to help in a specific way, that way you can stand out from the rest of the letters. If you help the Coalition there is a higher chance of being mentioned but their future looks a bit bleak though.

 

For example in my first letter i spoke as a Bastard named Bibs forming a small faction called the Daggoga Underground and i sent a message to the EEF (Earth Expeditionary Force) about how i wanted to start a guerrilla resistance against the Coalition of Enlightened nations, mainly because I just didn't like them or their actions.
