== The World So Far ==

It has been 4 years since hostilities ended between The Allied Baronies and the Tashar Kingdom. A long, drawn-out war of over a decade ended with Orcyd, one of the noble advisors of Tashar King Valencin, taking the king by arms for 'crimes against the people' and then sending emissaries to the Allied Baronies to seek peace.

Trade has slowly returned to normal, with occasional flashes of old enmity springing up. Compounding this is the rise of banditry and disorder along the various borders established in the wake of the treaty to end the war. Both sides have taken it upon themselves to employ veterans to deal with the problems that arise after war, from simple bandits, through the rise of undead and carrion-eaters due to the slaughter of war, to the rebuilding of two sets of people dragged into war by greed and malice.

Both the Allied Baronies and the Tashar Kingdom are human-centric, with a mix of other races including hobgoblins, although hobgoblins tend to fare better in Tashar. In fact, the current king, Orcyd, is a hobgoblin, laying claim to the title by an obscure several hundred year precedent of law involving the support of both the Council of the Land (a collection of influential nobles) and the Freespeaker Yeomen (a group of commoner and merchant representatives from throughout the Kingdom) giving legitimacy to his uprising.

Guide to the Region

This is a guide to the region for the PbP game Dem Bones.

__TOC__

== Port Hern ==
== Hernwood ==
== Crimson Cut ==
== Nathier Mounds ==

The Nathier Mounds are the remains of a people only know as the Nathier, who over 2800 years ago constructed various styles of earthen mounds for religious and ceremonial, burial, and elite residential purposes. This is only known by the scholarly efforts of an unnamed elven king whose kingdom covered much of the region before the expansion of humanity and the retreat of the elves to the Northern Growths.

In more recent times, the mounds were used as a staging area during the Allied-Tashar conflict. This was complicated by the prevalence of undead in the Mounds. Likewise, bandits that find that they are not safe enough in the Hernwood often will cut through the Nathier Mounds to lose pursuers, taking the risk that they will only find slow zombies and skeletons rather than more fearsome creatures in their travels.

Throughout the years, adventurers delve into the Mounds to seek out the rumored treasures, from ancient weapons of a bygone age to the hordes of gold and emeralds collected by the Nathier wizard-kings. Few have returned, but those who have bring great wealth and terrible stories of creature of shadow, underground complexes full of deadly traps and powerful spellcasting undead.

[http://www.d20srd.org d20 SRD]

So far:

It has been 4 years since hostilities ended between The Allied Baronies and the Tashar Kingdom. A long, drawn-out war of over a decade ended with the youngest son of the Tashar King Valerith, Orcyd, murdering his own father and oldest brother and then sending emmisaries to the Allied Baronies to seek peace.

Trade has slowly returned to normal, with occasional flashes of old enmity springing up. Compounding this is the rise of banditry and disorder along the various borders established in the wake of the treaty to end the war. Both sides have taken it upon themselves to employ veterans to deal with the problems that arise after war, from simple bandits, the rise of undead and carrion-eaters due to the slaughter of war and the rebuilding of two sets of people dragged into war by greed and malice.

Caias Ward: /* Starting Wealth: */

An 6e game which is not very serious at all.

----

Alright, this is my attempt to run an E6 game with a rather odd premise:

What if the PCs were only ogres or halflings of a non-evil disposition?

This game will use the E6 rules as shown here: [http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?352719-necro-goodness-E6-The-Game-Inside-D-amp-D] Based on this, character creation will fall under one of the two examples based on race:

'''Halfling:''' 32 point buy, 6 class levels, as per normal halflings

'''Ogre:''' 18 point buy (due to +2 LA), 4 hit dice of Giant and 2 class levels. Ogre Racial Stats are +10 Str, -2 Dex, +4 Con, -4 Int, -4 Cha. More info on Giant type is here: [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/typesSubtypes.htm#giantType]

Remember that you get a stat bump at 4th level

== So what's the deal? ==

You are playing halflings or ogres wandering about from place to place, getting into trouble and facing terrible monsters along the way. While you may not be very serious at all (as any game involving halflings and ogres is prone to be), the dangers you will face will be very serious.

You aren't evil. Ogres tend to be Neutral or Chaotic Neutral and form close bonds with their friends, instead of the traditional evil alignment. Villages will freak out when they see ogres, which is one of the reasons some ogres tend to travel with halflings. Meanwhile, the halflings find a 9 foot tall murderhobo they get along with to be an ideal travel companion.

== Starting Wealth: ==

As PCs, you start with 13,000 gp of which no more than 1/4 may be used on a single item (more or less). Take a look at the E6 thread as certain items may have a caster level above 6th level and thus not be available.

Khyshan Lornis is a member of the Tabai, a race relatively young to interstellar exploration but quickly making gains in the galactic sphere. She is tall for a Tabai (singular and plural) at 5'5"; the average member is barely over 5 feet tall. Although appearing reptilian with a scaly epidermis, a slightly elongated face and two rows of sharp teeth, the Tabai are mammalian, although only a small percentage of them have hair on their heads.

The Tabai are an inquisitive race born out of a species descended from bloody combat; some of this aggression carries through in the form of directness, although it is simply a somewhat common cultural element rather than a species-wide trait. The first of the Tabai planets as brought under a singular ruler many centuries ago; named Cha'kan, he was a Buddha, a Ghandi... and a Sun Tzu and Caesar. Through his efforts, the whole planet developed an orgainization far beyond their technology level, to the point of a stable world government even before their Industrial Revolution.

Khyshan is of nabban ethnicity, born with light tan and grey scales. She does have dark hair, although she prefers to keep it relatively short. She's positively laid-back for a Tabai, always sounding like she's asking a question even for a direct statement. The mother of nine grown children, she gravitated to the Interstellar Bureau of Police, Youth Division as a means to keep on helping others.

Physically, her people are not much more remarkable than humans other than a thicker skin; the extensive education and combat training mandated to all Tabai as well as her IBP training are what have made her an incredible physical combatant.

Maliborgio is a member of the Interstellar Bureau of Police, Youth Division. A decorated veteran, he's responsible for turning around some of the worst youth offenders throughout the galaxy as well as some of the most high profile arrests including The Savage Six Posse and Ehanla Korahn.

Maliborgio exists as a featureless multicolored bipedal being in seven dimensions, of which only two of those are those to which most beings are familiar. As a result, he is incredibly resilient to damage since he is not 'all there'. As well, he can create portals to other dimensions to redirect or deflect attacks as well as teleport himself and others.

Caias Ward: /* Next Season, on School of Hard Knocks: */

== Next Season, on School of Hard Knocks: ==

Earth, a backwater planet in the Sol System, Milky Way Galaxy is the home to a technologically limited society. The people for the most part are average, with occasional bursts of intellect or creativity. Still, an average example of a Level 3 society…

Except for the ‘superheroes’ and ‘supervillains’. These beings exceed the baseline of ‘humans’ by orders of magnitude. Stronger, faster, smarter. “Supervillains’ seek to dominate the world, commit crime for their benefit or utterly destroy anything in their path. Meanwhile, ‘superheroes’ adhere to various codes of honor, such as protecting the innocent and enforcing the law.

We’ve gathered a group of average teenagers with disciplinary problems but good hearts from across the cosmos and are setting them up in a house together. Here, they will live on Earth with their Probation Officers, assume the role of superheroes and learn to both care about each other and a world that desperately needs protection from villains, criminals and perhaps their newest saviors.

----

Alright, this is a call for players for a HERO System 6th Edition game set on modern day Earth (no, I’m not going to use another game system). You’ll be playing superpowered juvenile delinquents from around the cosmos exiled to Earth to serve as superheroes as part of your probation. With the help of your probation officers you’ll find guidance on doing the right thing as well as how to fit in on your new planet.

Oh, and you’re the subject of a reality TV show that broadcasts to over a hundred and eight galaxies. The last three seasons had stellar ratings and the producers hope to top that with this new twist on reforming the latest crop of malcontents and hoodlums.

We’ll be using the Standard Superheroic point scale (400 pts, 75 Points Complications, 40 Max for one complication) and the suggested power levels from the Character Ability Guideline Table. All characters need to take the following complications:
*Flawed Knowledge of Earth Culture: Character is an alien whose knowledge of Earth culture comes solely from reality television (Very Frequently, Slightly Impairing): 20 Character Points.
*Hunted: Various fans of the shows, local people you get in trouble with, your probation officers, the show cameras and real superheroes keeping an eye on you. (As Powerful, NCL, Frequently, Mildly Punish) 15 Character Points

Recommended Complications:
*Psychological Complications based around juvenile delinquency, looking to be a better person, problems with authority figures, etc.
*Rivalries with other heroes in the world (I'll have a list of rivals put together).

As for powers, two things:
*These are beings with powers, not gadgets. I'd prefer not having people with powered armor and such.
*The Network provides a perception filter which conceals the fact that you’re perhaps a bizarre-looking alien to most of the world. It’s for use when you are trying to live as a normal human teen/twentysomething, although most of the time will be spent in costume doing hero-stuff. You get this for free and it almost never fails. Almost… I’m going to ask that you be relatively humanoid, though.

School of Hard Knocks

Caias Ward:

== Next Season, on School of Hard Knocks: ==

Earth, a backwater planet in the Sol System, Milky Way Galaxy is the home to a technologically limited society. The people for the most part are average, with occasional bursts of intellect or creativity. Still, an average example of a Level 3 society…

Except for the ‘superheroes’ and ‘supervillains’. These beings exceed the baseline of ‘humans’ by orders of magnitude. Stronger, faster, smarter. “Supervillains’ seek to dominate the world, commit crime for their benefit or utterly destroy anything in their path. Meanwhile, ‘superheroes’ adhere to various codes of honor, such as protecting the innocent and enforcing the law.

We’ve gathered a group of average teenagers with disciplinary problems but good hearts from across the cosmos and are setting them up in a house together. Here, they will live on Earth with their Probation Officers, assume the role of superheroes and learn to both care about each other and a world that desperately needs protection from villains, criminals and perhaps their newest saviors.

----

Alright, this is a call for players for a HERO System 6th Edition game set on modern day Earth (no, I’m not going to use another game system). You’ll be playing superpowered juvenile delinquents from around the cosmos exiled to Earth to serve as superheroes as part of your probation. With the help of your probation officers you’ll find guidance on doing the right thing as well as how to fit in on your new planet.

Oh, and you’re the subject of a reality TV show that broadcasts to over a hundred and eight galaxies. The last three seasons had stellar ratings and the producers hope to top that with this new twist on reforming the latest crop of malcontents and hoodlums.

We’ll be using the Standard Superheroic point scale (400 pts, 75 Points Complications, 40 Max for one complication) and the suggested power levels from the Character Ability Guideline Table. All characters need to take the following complications:
*Flawed Knowledge of Earth Culture: Character is an alien whose knowledge of Earth culture comes solely from reality television (Very Frequently, Slightly Impairing): 20 Character Points.
*Hunted: Various fans of the shows, local people you get in trouble with, your probation officers, the show cameras and real superheroes keeping an eye on you. (As Powerful, NCL, Frequently, Mildly Punish) 15 Character Points

Recommended Complications:
*Psychological Complications based around juvenile delinquency, looking to be a better person, problems with authority figures, etc.
*Rivalries with other heroes in the world (I'll have a list of rivals put together).

As for powers, two things:
*These are beings with powers, not gadgets. I'd prefer not having people with powered armor and such.
*The Network provides a perception filter which conceals the fact that you’re perhaps a bizarre-looking alien to most of the world. It’s for use when you are trying to live as a normal human teen, although most of the time will be spent in costume doing hero-stuff. You get this for free and it almost never fails. Almost… I’m going to ask that you be relatively humanoid, though.
