Life and Death in Jakalla

Time: Friday 16th March 24.00GMT (or Saturday 0.00GMT, pays yer money and takes yer choice) = 19.00EST, 17.00PST etc.

Life and Death in Jakalla

New game (could be a campaign if people are keen) in the classic RPG setting of Tekumel. The streets are mean, the days are hot, the beasts are venomous and the shadow of the impaling stake ever present, but oh those Jakallan nights...

Tekumel newbies welcome, just make sure you let me know if you are new.

Rules: New and semi concocted Advanced EPT (Lamentations of the Flame Princess with shiny Tekumelani knobs on). A work in progress polished as we play.

See https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0YmlnWDqBSNUmpPZWlhcV9Ua2lnbUVuSE5BMlVQQQ/edit

GM: Barry Blatt (who looks remarkably like The Mekon, arch-nemesis of Dan Dare)

EDITORIAL ASIDE: Trigger Warning: This contains Carcosa material, rated 5 phosphorescent skulls.

On a planet 153 light years away from Earth, orbiting a star in the Hyades Cluster, you have been born into one of the thirteen races of men who were bred specifically to serve as components for the bizarre and horrific sorceries of the now-extinct snake people - not that you know any of that. However, even with those reptilian bastards gone, humans are still not the top of the evolutionary heap, and in fact are being held mostly in a state of primitive and ignorant "civilization" by the omni-present threats from Grey aliens, the Great Old Ones and their spawn, the mutated flora and fauna one finds around the planet, and the remnants of Primordial Ones' fallen civilization. Life is therefore dangerous, brutal, and short for the humans of Carcosa, and character death should be understood at the beginning to be a likelihood, especially for adventurous 1st level characters.

For those of that who don't know, Carcosa is an unquestionably mature setting, with subject matter that some find highly objectionable. And while I don't intend to linger on or embellish over-much the grotesque and inhumane rituals of sorcerers, they will appear at some point, along with their sometimes requisite components of torture, murder, and/or rape. If you think that's something which will ruin your fun then this is not the game for you.

As Jim Stutz summerizes: "What we end up with are dinosaur-riding sorcerous cavemen exploring ancient ruins and pursuing the Greys for their nifty rocket launchers while being pursued in turn by Nyarlathotep and some undead mummies.

Why? Fuck you, that's why."

Mechanically I will be using the Lamentations of the Flame Princess rules and classes, including the Fighter, Specialist, and the Berserker (a variation on the Dwarf), as well as an alternate Sorcerer class than the one presented in the Carcosa supplement (a variation of the LotFP Elf). In most every other way the LotFP rules will be followed, save that for experience I will be using Keys, as found here, with the experience charts being adjusted to reflect the smaller xp rewards. Each character will get to choose 2 Keys.

The game will be on Thursday the 9th of February at 7:30-9:30pm MST for the folks in North America, or is 2:30-4:30am GMT. I'm adam kunzang nyima on G+, with a picture of me doing a handstand on a beach, and my email is (here dot now dot relax at gmail dot com). I'm looking to make this an every-other-week game with up to four players per session. And while I may allow FLAILSNAILS characters in the future, at the moment I want to keep everything relatively close to the source material.

Legacy of the Bieth

Hi ConstantCon gang! I'm Humza "Allandaros" Kazmi, and am going to be
running a session of my campaign "Legacy of the Bieth" this upcoming
Thursday (26th Jan) at 9:30 EST/ 1:30 AM GMT. The setting aims for one
part standard D&D tropes, one part spaghetti western, and one part
post-apocalypse rebuilding. "When life meant little, death sometimes
had its price. That was when the bounty killers appeared." Feel free
to contact me at allandaros at gmail dot com. Add me on G+ as +Humza
Kazmi ; I'm the one in the black leather jacket. Cap of 5 players.

This will be using my "unholy fusion of LotFP and AD&D." FLAILSNAILS
conventions are honored; also feel free to bring in a new character
from level 1-4 if you're new to this whole ConstantCon business.

For more information on the setting, check out my (rarely updated)
blog: http://lotbieth.blogspot.com/

Oh, I've got the ulfire blues... oh, the ulfire blues

Editorial Note: Carcosa Warning: Rated Jale

If you think that's something which will ruin your fun then this is not the game for you.

Mechanically I will be using the Lamentations of the Flame Princess rules and classes, including the Fighter, Specialist, and the Berserker (a variation on the Dwarf), as well as an alternate Sorcerer class than the one presented in the Carcosa supplement (basically a tweaked version of the LotFP Elf).

Sydell

Hey all, I'm running a game on ConstantCon. This is the page for the LotFP rule version.

My blog is http://rpgrantsandraves.blogspot.com/

The game is to be run at 2 p.m. PST/ 11 p.m. in France starting the 24th of Jan and every week after.

The system is LotFP (which can be found on his website here.)

Going to be using Google Plus: you can find me at dragolite 1 at gmail dot com or Googgle Plus under the name Lon Varnadore (my avatar is my girlfriend and myself with sunglasses looking into the camera.)

players: 4-6 1st lvl. characters only please. FLAILSNAIL welcome.

This is a campaign that will be ongoing, I am looking for a group of players that will be able to get on week after week. I do not mind changing the time to every other week if necessary.

Sydell is a place of dangers and wonders. A land where most gods have passed on, and only a few grant power to their faithful. Where the riches are all around, if you know where to look. Where spell and sword might be enough to protect you.

This is a campaign that will be one of a number of plot lines. Choose your path. The only thing you know is that you have taken a caravan to a town called Mytheran. Here, you can get a job working for the Church of Theran, the Church of Sylenia or find some work in the local tavern of the Broken Spoke or the Three Coins Inn.

I'm not one for rules lawyers. THERE IS NO RAILROAD. If your party wants to go off an do something else, don't worry there is something else to do. But, be wary of leaving things half finished. Also, new to this online GMing thing, just a warning.

Nightwick Abbey Comes to ConstantCon

This is Evan of In Places Deep, and I will be running a LotFP game every Saturday from 2:00 - 4:00 PM EST.  This will be a FLAILSNAILS game, but characters brought from other game systems will need to be converted to the LotFP rules.  There is no limit to the level of existing FLAILSNAILS PCs, but new characters must be made at level 1.

Nightwick Abbey has lain in ruins for almost two centuries.  Built by power hungry knights and mad wizards, it is now home to only ghosts and goblins.  Peasants refuse to work in the shadow of the ruined church, and at night eerie lights issue forth   from its depths.  Many have tried to wrestle gold from the crypts that lie beneath, but few have returned.  Are you brave enough to seek your fortune in a demon-haunted dungeon?

Every week I will randomly select four players from a larger list in order to see who will enter the dOn G+ my name is Evan Elkins, and in my profile picture I'm about to slug Nicholas Cage.  You can email me at evanDOTvanDOTelkinsATgmailDOTcom.

Legacy of the Bieth

Allandaros over at Legacy of the Bieth is offering ConstantCon gaming, with some mutated version of OSRIC and Lamentations of the Flame Princess. I think he's honoring FLAILSNAILS Conventions. Check it out.
