[ZGG Repost] My Website - Havard - 11-25-2009

It's been a long time since I've updated my website, but I finally got around to fixing a few links, adding this forum to the "community" section, adding some more download links etc. Most of this should have been done ages ago, but at least it is nice to finally have it done! Smile
Anything else people would like to see on my Blackmoor fansite?
Anything people want to write and see it on my Blackmoor fansite?

Hi Havard,
Maybe you could put a link to the PbP boards on it? Wink The more publicity we get here, the better...
BTW, very cool d20 modern link! I hang out a lot over at WotC, but I had totally missed that one!
Your site is Blackmoor's pride, like always!
Yours,
Rafael

That's a great idea! Do you want it in the Community or the Link section (or both)? Suggestions for a subtext for it?

Foul Weather is a pretty cool scenario, and although Mike McArtor said he hadn't even thought about the Blackmoor/Mystara connection when he wrote it, I suspect he subconciously must have had the original FSS Beagle in mind when he wrote it. This offers an interesting backstory to the Beagle. Apparently, it was built by a human civilization before being taken over by the Galactic Federation after the events of Foul Weather and turned into a Federation Scout Ship under the command of Captain Bork Riesling. I havent compared the ship blueprints yet, but likely they will indicate that the ship underwent dramatic reconstruction by the Federation, probably due to the damage it sustained during Foul Weather.

Where you prefer it - I can send you a short text next week, if you like... I am having exams next week, but after they are over, I will resume my work on the DA-timeline as well. - If it finds your approval, would you like to post it there as well?

BM and Mystara are living a certain renaissance over at WotC lately, I think. - Maybe that Hollow World joke was welcomed better than they thought...
Does the Beagle play a big role in your campaign? - As you might already know, spelljamming etc. is practically nonexistant in my own games.
Yours,
Rafael

Text for Grim Winter:
Yeah, that would be sweet! Smile
DA-timeline:
Absolutely. And I don't think you'll have any problem getting my approval on your work.
Looking forward to seeing it!

The HW joke was interesting because the ones who wrote it wanted to pick a setting they thought noone was interested in, yet they couldn't pick one that was so obscure most people hadn't heard of it.

Space travel of any sort has never really come into play, but in theory Voidships (from Champions of Mystara) exist and the Void may be explored.
In my Mystara campaigns, the Beagle has played a certain role since it's Core Reactor is now a major source of magic on Mystara.
I've been going back and forth with what to do with it in Blackmoor though. Now I'm back to the point where I will probably keep it. I am wondering about the aliens though. Might it be cooler if I made them more alien-looking and less human?
My most recent idea for a BM campaign is one revolving around the discovery and development of technology, and I am thinking of having the finding of the Beagle be one of the climaxes of the campaign. Ofcourse, I was thinking about having them sent to the far future and witness the destruction of Blackmoor by the end of the campaign....

Thank you very much! I'll send you a text for the PbP advert about next weekend!

HW was cool - I hope WotC republishes some M material as apart of their classic series. -

IMC, the beagle is non-existant. The City of the Gods is indeed a city of dead gods... I think the main difference between our both views of BM is that my campaign is rather dark, while your's is more science fantasy. Smile
You don't have campaign journals at hand, do you? Smile

No campaign journals so far, but hopefully one day Smile
As said, I have gone back and forth on the technology bit. I really wouldnt go as far as calling my campaign science fantasy. Steampunk Fantasy would work better.
In general, the style of Blackmoor IMC is low, almost dark fantasy, a world perhaps comparable to the real world ca 1000 AD.
However, there are pockets of civilization, or rather individuals who have managed to make leaps of technomagical advances, such as the Alchemists of Blackmoor (Blackmoor University) working with the dwarves as well as the Egg of Coot (Dark Frankenstein-ish experments).
I am still unsure on how the Beagle will be presented (The name will never be revealed to the players!), but it should be clear that any devices recovered from this vessel will lead to a dramatic change in the world. (Ofcourse, should the PCs decide not to bring anything, Rocklin and other will already have brought enough tech around to make it available to entities such as the Egg. The Ran of Ah Fooh, one of the leaders of Ten, is also a technological experiment by the Egg and is possibly working with the Afridhi now occupying Ten. His "army" is in fact an elite force of cyborged zombies.
I am pretty sure I will stray away from anything resembling Star Trek. No laser weapons, no jump suits, and no names that will bring in those associations.
Please share more about the atmosphere in your campaign! Smile

WotC is rereleasing the DL modules as well as the old I6 module for 3e. ToH and White Plume Mountain can be found as free 3e versions for download. - Rumour has it that there is much more to come...

IMC, nearly no steampunk but a lot of gothic style happenings... I cannot hide that I am Ravenloftler at heart... (I am not sure how much I can reveal here... My players might be lurking...)

A terrible lich lord, the one supervillain IMC. Ran's even more nasty than the Egg...Has shown up in every of my campaigns so far...
