Mini Campaign details have moved to a new site!

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

Mini Campaign details have moved to a new site!

Unread post by Silveressa »

As per the request of Severnus when I referenced my DR campaigns in another thread:

Severus Snape wrote:This sounds like one hell of a campaign. And I'd love to keep hearing details about it. Any chance you can post the happenings for this much like Iczer is doing with his heroes campaign?


What started as a short write up has gained in popularity over the past few months, and now can be found at its new home at the roleplayingtips.com website blog area:

http://www.roleplayingtips.com/campaign ... venture-1/

Why has the campaign synopsis changed locations?

The reason is two fold:

1) I recently have started work as co-blogger on the roleplayingtips.com website, and find it more convenient post there as part of my weekly input, and like the idea of the campaign synopsis reaching a wider audience then it does here.

2) By posting the campaign synopsis on a different site then Palladiums forums, it gives Palladium Books and the Dead Reign setting some free publicity, and hopefully generate some extra interest in this rpg and help give them a boost to their sales. (and incentive to release more DR products)

While this may mean a few weeks before current readers see new content, it does mean that content will flow on a much more regular (weekly) basis without the current lags due to real life and appear in a more polished format then then seen previously.

So.. Is this something people want to see more of? (If so I'm happy to put more up, if not I won't clutter the boards with it.)

Just a small update letting people know the synopsizes are on hold for a little while since a trip to the dentist today resulted in a pulpectomy, $4 a pill Biaxim antibiotics to kill off the necrotic abscess full of antibiotic resistant bacteria (which survived both Amoxicillin and Keflex treatments unscathed) which combined with Vicodin has left me pretty messed up and not able to focus on much of anything.

Expect more next Thursday or Friday. :ok:

:lol: More that none of them besides Riley had the WP for auto rifles, yet most of them (especially Jessy) insisted on using full auto fire because of the massive damage they could inflict and the sheer wall of lead usually allowed them to get a multiple head shots without having to spend melee actions to aim.

I always rolled to see if bullet ricochets hit anything important (and ruled ricochets only do 1/2 - 1/4 damage) as well as the inevitable wide fire arcs from full auto fire used by an untrained person.

It was hard to tell some adventures if the heroes were their own worst enemy compared to the zombie threats, but they seemed to love the wild gun play despite the often unfortunate consequences. (as will be seen in later adventure synopsis's)

In the second campaign (that used the Cortex rule system) guns were a lot more deadly and effective, which resulted in the players handling them with much more care making for a nice change of tone.

First off my Apologies for the lengthy delay on this update, but paid writing work has to take priority over unpaid writing.

Remainder of post removed by user for a polish and minor editing.

Generally I use a common sense approach and on occasion a quick % die roll to see if anything important got hit. Bulking down combat with constantly rolling and consulting tables tends to ruin the horror feel of the game and slows up the frantic pace of combat too much for my groups liking. (Another of the reasons why I switched from palladium's rule set to Cortex, much faster combat)

Greetings!

I have been PM'ed by Siveressa, and she has granted me permission to tell all that her long absence from the Boards is due to caring for a loved one at a hospital. As she has no laptop, she has been unable to post, but she IS ok. So please do keep our fellow gamer and Dead Reign expert, and her loved one, in your thoughts.

Thank you,
