Battle Hymn of the Grey Company
Premise: The Grey Company was one of the last of the Free Companies operating across Midgorod. Founded in the shadowed past during the wars with the Dark Lands, no one alive remembers that forgotten age, save perhaps the elves. Now the Company traveled throughout the Circles of the Known World seeking to sell their services to the highest bidder.Yet the name of the Company had fallen into disrepute in recent days, driving potential recruits to other military orders or companies. Meaning also that the Grey Company could not be too picky about their next employer, feeling less than certain about where their next meal would come from.
Can the Grey Company regain its former glory as the premier mercenary band across the Known World? And what sort of dark deeds will they be forced to commit along the way?
Notes: This game is a military and political fantasy. Instead of delving into deep dungeons and slaying monsters, you play a member of a mercenary company. Within the perilous world of the Circles of the Known World, your main adversaries are other military factions. However, it will be just as important to use skills of diplomacy and strategy to curry favor with the local populace to secure supplies and quarters in a village or to retreat from a bad logistical position as it will be to hone your martial skill to fight against intelligent military foes.
Though there will still be wandering monsters that you must deal with, of course. :)
System: I am more interested in characters and story than in system mechanics. As such, while this game uses a home-brewed system, the fiction will often triumph over mechanics. I will always go the path that makes for a better story.
