Hi all!
In the 80'ies I picked up a box with a rpg in middle earth (for some reason I cannot write the name of it... why is THAT wrong in the forum? It is/was an ICE product as far as I remember!). ½ a year later Rolemaster was aquired. Many homemade rules to RM and other RPG systems later. A marriage plus kids later, and MANY MANY years later Im sitting here looking through my Shadow world books....
No reason to tell you guys why
.
I have played RPG with my wife and some friends for years now. On and off off course. I am a busy adult now :S.
Me and my wife talked about doing something else beside playing LOTRO and watching movies every night. Therefore I asked her about if she would be interested in a solo campaign. She said ok (shes not a dedicated roleplayer as you proberby all are) but she wanted to be POWERFUL for a change. That was a must....
Here is my idea:
Its in Kulthea offcource
. She wakes up with amnesia (details are still on the drawing board). She soon discovers that she is superior to others. She knows how to fight, armed and unarmed. She has mental powers and knows magic too. Her primary quest will be to figure our what she is and why she has the skills she has, and what have happened to her. Nothing more about the campaign story is at the moment decided.
Other than:
Shes a Lord of Essænce. She wakes up after a sleep (hibernation) lasting since the first age. I think of her as an assassin used by a powerful K'Ta'Viir in the first age. Why she was put in hibernation I have no idea about yet. Maybe she has a hidden agenda, even she dont know and is "programmed" to kill someone... like Andraxx
. I know she will play "good guy" and Im really interested in seeing how she reacts when she finds out she a cold hearted killer....
So. Actually Im writing this as Im sure you would bombard me with ideas! twists, adventure ideas, background idea and such. Dont hold anything back! This is the brainstorming phase!
My wife knows a little about SW (she has seen my books and is a good listener of my nerdy passion). But its been like 10 years since I played a campaign in SW and just as long since I have looked at the SW books. She knows what a K'Ta'Viir is (as I tried to convince her I was one, a month after we meet... hey she still married me, I guess Im just a lucky guy
) but I dont see that as a problem.
Thanks in advance for any input. And Ill try to read through some of the other topics here and join the talk
