warlord of filth 7714 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2021 The Wastrels of Glorious Story: Adventuring and Dungeoneering at It’s Finest Coordinated by obreeni (breeni#2442) Spoiler The Wastrels of Glorious Story is an upcoming event project to add radiant dungeons throughout the lands of Almaris. With heavy inspiration from DnD one-off adventures, parties of 3-5 players will be gathered to seek out, travel, and delve into a variety of dungeons constructed around the map. Each dungeon and adventure will be themed to its environment, as well given a proper identity with supporting history. You will delve into dark caverns, scary ruins, through ramshackle camps, and past landmarks. The purpose? To build a story and facilitate the thrill that comes from a good quest! Locations of these dungeons will not be posted publicly. Be it an NPC that visits your settlement, a rumor that is passed to a tavern, an old journal discovered in the market square; all of these are but a few examples to how exactly players will discover the aforementioned dungeons. Firstly, the dungeons and quests will not just appeal to murderhobos. There will be equal parts exploration, puzzles, and a requirement for player ingenuity in order to proceed. Though there will be rewards and treasure to be found, the ultimate goal isn’t to appeal to loot-hoarders. Secondly, the goal of these delves isn’t for you to get some powerful loot or god-killing weapons. Sure, there will be instances where you will get some pretty neat treasure derived from my abundance of WoW and TES inspired inserts. Do not expect treasure or beg for it. Ultimately, these are built to provide a traditional fantasy experience and to have fun. Thirdly, that previously mentioned player cap of five participants will be enforced. This isn’t to exclude players, but to allow for practical and logical thought as to who should be brought with. Think of a typical dungeon party, of course you’ll want your great-sword wielding barbarian, but a mage might prove useful. Fourthly, your kit matters. If you want a grappling hook to scale a wall, you have to have it on you and represented by an item. Think of what you would bring if you were exploring a dingy crypt: Lightsource? Check. Rope? Rations? Check. Potions? Check. Finally, the goal of this project is to have fun. I love a good bounty run and killing a big baddie ala Dark Souls or Monster Hunter, but as I’ve played through Wildermyth, Baldurs Gate 1 & 2, done some dungeon delving in Oblivion, and worked some Dungeons into my eventline: I realized how fun they could be if implemented into LoTC. Spoiler Be on the lookout for pointers to start these adventures. They will be sporadic and not directed toward one player base in particular. Should you find a dungeon through natural exploration, it will be annotated as being one of mine, and you are free to contact me afterwards :^) 40 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoidandNull 356 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Obreeni, you ran my first ever event since my days on Atlas, and it sent me back into my own days of dungeon delving and exploring in games like Skyrim and DND. Seeing you want to bring this experience to more people brings my hope back in more people being able to feel the same. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
