This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Daddy Warpig

Ravenholm

The Ravenholm Freeholds are a small land (named for the flocks of ravens that populate it), the majority of which is a low, flat valley set between the Hillsfolk Hills and the Mountains of Madness. Besides being caught between the hill-land barbarians and the gibbering insanities that emerge from the forbidden peaks, it is also the crossroads between the Tsars' lands, the restive provinces of the Imperium, and an ancient but troubled knightly theocracy to the south. Wars have been fought over Ravenholm for generations, and possession of the vale has passed between these three kingdoms time and again.

20 years ago, armies from the three warring states clashed in the valley. Caught between them was a mercenary company lead by the daughter of a Lord of Necropolis. Upon her death, he cursed the armies in the valley with eternal war. Each day, they fight to the last man, slaying each other in brutal battle until one is left standing. The next morning, as the sun rises over the fields, the slain soldiers return to a kind of half-life, shuffle into ranks, and fight their battles over once again.

The farmers and shepherds have taken refuge in the ancient and extensive underground complex carved into the bedrock beneath the valley. At one time these caverns and tunnels had been a refuge from the formless nightmares that came down from the peaks, but they serve equally well to protect the Freeholders from the zombie warriors ceaselessly marching across their fallow and trampled fields. Now the farmers tend mushroom crops in the dim light of bioluminescent mosses and fish on the shores of midnight seas far beneath the once beautiful fields and gardens they had claimed as their home. Life in the Cursed Vale is hard, but never slow or boring.

There are great treasures known to be buried in the deeps, along with equally great threats. Adventurers can easily buy maps to the darkened passages, as the Freeholders claim but a small part of them for their settlements. They can equally find hire as pathfinders, mapping those same tunnels, as monster hunters, or as couriers between the settlements. The various elected Councils of the settlements are, by and large, honest and quick-paying.

Quote from: noismsI get depressed, suicidal and aggressive when nerds start comparing penis sizes via the medium of how much they know about swords.

Quote from: Larsdangly;786974An encounter with a weird and potentially life threatening monster is not game wrecking. It is the game.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.
