Game: Meanwhile... Into the Depths GM: @Rich D

Cast: 3-6 Players System: Meanwhile Stats

Description:

Your cousin Aiden is an infrequent visitor to Amber but is known as a master smith. He disappears for years into Shadow and returns with armor and weapons of unusual materials and designs. One can ask where he finds such marvelous materials but only the most optimistic or naive would expect a clear answer.

Lately, Aiden has been seen in Amber scouring through the library and bending the ears of greybeards and scholars. The rumor mill says he is asking about cities made of crystal and deciphering a strange language. Then, Aiden reaches out to you.

This scenario exists within the shared world of ""Meanwhile...""

It started a thousand years pre-Patternfall. King Oberon is on the throne with his queen, Paulette. Mirelle was recently born. Random is an asthmatic, teen-aged hood. Everyone has sworn an Oath to Amber's Crown, but not everyone works for the Crown. Secrets exposed in Corwin's Chronicles are still secrets. Amber is at relative peace in many senses, and is the center of Reality.

The desire is to establish a shared world with players who may also GM a session or two as the campaign progresses, focused on some part of their own character's impact or legacy, like an introduction to a personal Shadow, an invitation to see your character compete in some Shadow sport, a call for aid in finding just the right present, and so forth. There is an overall structure (derivative of West Marches or the 1632 series) in place, some of which will be shared as other GMs step up - Characters:

Returning players are encouraged to use their existing characters.
