So I have 2 Campaign ideas, both of which would be lengthy games which would take quite some time to finish. The themes in both are completely different from the other, and the methods of how you should approach both are also different.
The 2 campaigns are "Arctic Nightmare" and "The Clockwork City"
Arctic Nightmare is a story about a band of hunters, (4-6) that are commissioned by a native village to hunt and slay a monstrous Wendigo, a creature that's been causing nightmares, not to mention stealing and killing the villagers.
The story is dominated by the sense of dread, and poor survivability in an arctic wasteland. Blizzards are constant because of the Wendigo's doing, and the wild-life isn't exactly forgiving either. Avalanches, Wolves, Dire Polarbears, and Constitution damaging from blizzards will make the game a true fight for survival as the hunters both avoid, and hunt the Wendigo, eventually resulting in heavy losses, a sense of being insignificant, and a final Predator-esque stand against the beast that wants nothing more than to kill you all.
The Clockwork City is a story about a band of soon-to-be heroes in a great, colossal, moving city made of steel, steam, and stone. It starts out rather safe, but slowly but surely things go from bad to worse as the clockwork constructs that patrol the city start to act weird. Guards start cattle prodding people for miniscule offenses, and word of a group of refugees inside the city leaks out, which puts everyone on edge.
What was previously a bustling, advanced city of its time turns into a war-hungry machine of death that runs on paranoia, and eventually begins to attack other villages. The goal of the campaign is to learn as much about what's going on as possible, and either join the refugees to destroy the clockwork constructs and usurp the current king, or simply find and remove the reason for the sudden hostility.
Either way, espionage rides high, and many backs will be stabbed, as well as unlikely alliances.
Which of these would you guys most likely choose, and if you have any questions inquiring as to what may or may not happen, please ask. It'll help me make the campaign itself better.
