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.

[Interest] 2e AD&D Red Steel Campaign

I'll let a couple of tracks from the Audio CD included in the 2e AD&D Red Steel Campaign boxed set speak for itself:

Firstly, here is the Narrative Track which provides an introduction to the Red Steel campaign setting.

Secondly, here is The Inheritors Track which is an audio drama that gives a feel for the campaign setting.

Anyone interested?  If we get at least three players, then I'll fire it up. :)

Just noticed this one. I would be interested in this. Dont remember a whole lot about red steel though.

Are you using stuff like NWPs?

It would be standard 2e AD&D (no Powers & Options) so we would be using NWPs and Kits.



The Red Steel campaign takes place on the Savage Coast of the world Mystara.

Savage Coast map:
SPOILER (Hover over section below to view.)



The Vaults of Pandius website has the Savage Cost Campaign Book available to view which provides a great deal of information on the geographical location and the setting of a Red Steel campaign.

Just let me know if you're still interested and I can start working on it.

Love kits and NWPs - I'm still up, if we can hunt down a third player somehow.

Sounds good to me. I am on board with no powers and options (never used those books myself). I still have a number of complete books (off the top of my head fighter, wizard, bard and thief---have ninja too but probably not applicable). So if anyone needs kit info happy to provide.

Any guidelines in terms of where we should be from and character creation?

Couldn't get either of the audio tracks to run, unfortunately. Have had a look through the campaign book - pretty cool. Wondering if the game is more likely to be more land or sea based - though if the GM wants to keep it a surprise fair enough.
Interesting to see all of the monster races as PCs, though I'm leaning toward more regular demihuman at this point. I have a mostly built dwarf thief/psionicist (Diplomat) here, though after reading the book a gaucho ranger (or ranger/cleric) might also be interesting, or something swashbuckly to fit the setting - perhaps a Blade. (Also depends on what you other guys are interested in playing, and I should probably wait until the rules doc is out).

I created an information thread with some basic character creation information.  This should get your creative juices following for making a Red Steel character.

There are some special cases depending on race/class/kit combo, but I'll only bring those up if someone shows interest in one of these areas.

Please feel free to ask any questions about creating your character here.  :)

Fancy a rakaska fighter using the noble kit if that is a goer.
