Walsingham Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawney_Bean A neat story to throw in for some characters en route to another place if they're getting bored and want some fighting.

Pop Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I was always interested in adapting historical events into D&D games. I've toyed with the idea of adapting (sadly, I only really play D&D in the FR) gameworlds to fit certain historical situations. The more epic, the better, and that usually entails something pertaining to the World Wars. I even considered introducing some kind of magical analog to the atomic bomb, setting it off somewhere and changing the nature and fabric of the campaign while it was being played ("the bomb changes everything" kind of thing) That 'un sounds a bit like that... oh, what's her name, the Countess. She was already used in Diablo II, but apparently she was real, even if she wasn't as psychotic as they say. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Archmonarch Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I believe you're thinking of Erzsebet Bathory, also known as the Blood Countess, the most infamous serial killer in Hungarian history. As to the topic, I also enjoy injecting historical facts or situations into storylines, though I do so more in a literary format. At the moment, I'm trying to adapt an Alternate History Ancient Greece plus surrounding civilizations into a world where the beliefs of the people (whether in terms of magic or science which were in those days entirely entangled) work as postulated with some modification. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsingham Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 It isn't a bloody theme park! I'm suggesting you just have the PCs work as the people who suffer an attempted robbery and have the chance to report it to the authority and probe the horrors of the clan's stinking cave.

Musopticon? Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I bet there'd be loot in the cave. You don't like loot? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today.

Musopticon? Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Why should one be digested? Skewer them, gut their brethren and saunter off with their ill-gotten gains. Unless they eat the gold and valuables they find from their victims. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.
