Nestferatu

'Nestferatu..The Hell Pits of NightFeather'

• A Gloranthan game of Ducks and ...well....duck vampires.
• Using MGRQII or whatever we feel like

Concept

• An ancient evil has followed the exiled Ducks to their new home deep in the swamps of the Zola Fel valley.
• The heroes are a band of tough cigar smoking bad ass Ducks. Leaders of their new community of refugees. Each with their own story to tell of banditry, swashbuckling and daring do....
• A good mixture of archetypes please...Zoro ,kung fu, sombrero wearing bandits...katana wielding, Iron chopstick throwing with hacking coughs. Did I mention crossbows?
• Below are some rules to aim us in the right direction..sort of.
• Mention of canon will lead to being fired out of one...if you say it then its true.
• Remember You eat Uz for breakfast.

Duck cults
