Hi again,
Never guess what I have in store for you? Another campaign. A 'little' less farfetched than the previous one, in fact, could be quite fitting in the Tolkien universe.
PDF - The City
This story is more convincing, but I've tried to emphasise that the city was significant for a small period of time, but that its people were scattered after a number of horrors and refused to explain their travels because of their grievances, so effectively no-one would mention where they came from and therefore future generations would not remember it.
Is it perhaps a touch depressing? Yes.
Does it have to be that way to make the story work? Also yes.
Have I included a couple of new characters? Yes.
Have I also attached a small fan fiction piece with it? Yes.
Is there a map of the layout of the city because I though it would be nice rather than making generic houses and dumping them randomly down on a field? Yes.
I should note I'll be posting a PDF with the profiles of all the heroes in the campaigns, largely they are normal captains but with an extra point of might/will/courage and maybe the equipment type change here and there.
There are still two more campaigns to come, comments and feedback are duly welcome.
Until then
Fish

Something from the past...
Hello there!
Bet you weren't expecting a post on here? It has been a while and though I shan't be returning to the world of SBG anytime immediately. However, this is a little different.
More recently I went through some of my old fictional scenarios and rules for campaigns etc... Mostly as I was interested in making rules for scenarios, developing game concepts and to a certain extent developing ideas for campaigns. These campaign plot ideas I'd though up in 2011 or 2012 and developed bit by bit (but given I was early teens at the time, they had as many plot holes as a block of swiss cheese), naturally I'd been meaning at some point to write them up or share with some other people. But...that didn't happen.
So really, I'm sharing some funky ideas for campaigns in Middle-earth I've come up with. Compared to what they were initially they are soooooo much better, some creases have been smoothed out (particularly in the case of the background to the campaigns and some of the special rules).
These scenarios are designed to be played for the primary victory conditions, but points are awarded for achieving secondary victory conditions to encourage hard fought battles and that each objective is important in the grand scheme of things (5pts for primary and 2pts for a secondary). The scores and victories are tabulated at the end to see which player has the most points or most victories if the players are tied (when the players are within two points of each other).
PDF - Journey to Harad
This one is the funky one, Initially I had it as Glorfindel rescuing the elven companies, but that seemed a 'touch' unrealistic. Tbh the idea is a bit farfetched, but the thought of elves fighting a Mumakil was particularly tough to pass up on, although it was hard finding a storyline to fit all the companies on and get them in the right place.
This is perhaps a lot to take in, I do have a few more supplements on the way so brace yourselves! Hope you have enjoyed this small piece. Let me know if you have any comments and such :)
Until then
