Editing Landsoftheblacksea:Main Page/campaigns/blackport adventures (section)

== Campaign Overview ==

This will be a city-based adventure using [https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/Advanced_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_2nd_Edition_Wiki '''''AD&D 2E'''''] rules; emphasis is on role playing, I try to do most of the bookkeeping for the characters so they can focus on decisions.

An ongoing campaign (3+ years) in the same world setting can be found [https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/ad-d-2e-lands-of-the-black-sea-southern-campaign-continuation-i.907923/page-23#post-25418912 '''here''']; the main page of this [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page | '''Wiki''']] covers the basics of the campaign setting, including realms, geography, and the like.  

Information about Blackport itself is found on the Wiki [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/realms/Blackport| '''here''']].  This, along with the map, will evolve as the game progresses – the game will be defining the setting as we go.

I’m looking to run one or more adventures in Blackport. Neutral or evil characters will have the easiest time integrating into the evirons; good characters are allowed, but they will be swimming upstream in this setting.

The city is modeled after an amalgamation of content from: Judge’s Guild ''City-State of the Invincible Overlord''; Golotha from the ''Cities of Harn''; elements from ''Lankhmar''; ideas and themes from Steve Jackson’s ''Khare: Cityport of Traps''; and the overall tone of Robert Aspin’s ''Thieves’ Word'' series, as well as other sources. All integrated with some homebrew elements.

This activity is primarily focused on role-playing to help me develop the city environs, NPC’s, and setting – there will not necessarily be a lot of dungeon crawling, at least not at the beginning.

Characters can be of the following races: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Orc, Half-Orc, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Ogre, Half-Ogre, Bugbear, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling. We'll use the [https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/The_Complete_Book_of_Humanoids '''''Complete Book of Humanoids'''''] to create characters for the non-standard races.

Any character alignment and class is allowed (for any race); we’ll figure out how to mod the rules for non-standard races. Note that the setting is predominantly lawful evil, but very tolerant of any religion or alignment so long as taxes are paid and rules are followed. That said, I would expect a Lawful Good character to be pretty miserable in this setting.
