Player One:
I am considering rolling for my career or picking up something exciting;-)
But it's a good point, Lukas. GM, are we considering a more rural or a more urban campaign here?
That's a good question, and I've actually being trying to make up my mind on
where to start. Seeing what you guys come up with is helping!
The 'official' 2e campaign is called
Paths of the Damned which begins in a small Middenland village before moving on to nearby Middenheim. If we play that one both 'local' rural characters and more urban and/or exotic characters could fit. The village was cut off during the Storm of Chaos (a massive but ultimately defeated invasion of Middenland by Chaos armies in the recent past) so anyone might have been 'trapped' in the village.
I'm sort of in two minds about running
Paths of the Damned though, for two reasons. The first is that it is as I said partly set in Middenheim and I don't want to thread on your toes Player One since I know we are heading there in 'The Enemy Within'. The second is that it plays into the Storm of Chaos background and while the Storm itself has passed I know some of you aren't too fond of that part of the background (and even I might tweak it to be... less apocalyptic.) On the other hand it does have the advantage of being a proper linked campaign that was designed for newer players and moves about a bit.
Alternately there are a few fun looking adventures (both published and fan made) that I could try instead but they aren't part of an extended campaign so we'd be more seeing as we go along and I'd be bringing in more of my own material. (eep!)
Player Three:
Howdy player one and player two. :)
Howdy! :)
