Is posting about Silverclawshift's campaigns still cool?

[Zsephyr]

Would anyone be interested in hearing a campaign log on how me and my DM have decided to (after reannacting all the other SCS campaigns with our own flairs, chars, and endings) pick up on the 3rd story by her? The Undead City, Dragon City etc story? Plot twist: The Evil Doer is someone you'd never suspect :-) 30 years of game, both homebrewed, straight up DND Ed books, and now SCS, this is the best yet.

Do it.
I will be happy to read about it as long as they're good :P

Always happy to read campaign journals and stories. As for Silverclawshift specifically, her D&D tales are among my favorite and definitely inspired me, so it's nice to see how it inspired others as well.

Silverclawshift's campaigns will always be cool. I'd love to hear about your group's past and present campaigns based on hers.

now don't get me wrong, we're not necessarily attempting to copy everything her party did, more just follow the storylines? been playing her horror campaign as the dm and starting to really get somewhere with it! gonna post that now in a swift synopsis just to get some ideas! and my dm of 20yrs and i just read her Faceless Threat campaign which sadly was cut short :-( and over a night of poor sleep wondering who the enemy would be (i poUr over a single big bad unfortunately because i'm a big baby but i know her dm normally does NOT) and my dm and i sat down and decided we would STEAL that world and the villain would be very unexpected :-) will post that when it starts but i'll do the horror one first!!

they're not



psych, i was very impressed and pissed with my party, they totally knocked my plans out of control and i'm beyond proud

[Zsephyr]

very very fast synopsis, no need for supreme detail especially for character backstories because they get shared in game, no one knew anyone else's race, class, or backstory until they met/were revealed via player

world is based on some youtube videos and some plot i came up with when i was like 12

Spoiler: da world

Show

in a quick sum up, the world is HEAVY undead based, but has been for an unknown hundred of years, the undead problem is blamed on an old war that stemmed between two rival kingdoms, and one cheated using magic to win, but the result was utter loss and the rise of the undead, as the major races (humans, dwarves, orcs, goblinoids and the like) banded together in a final stand before their utter extinction, they finally drove off the undead and saved themselves, arcane magic is now tabooed en masse and a 'burn-at-the-pyre' 'witch! heretic! pervert!' etc situation, (divine magic from the clerics, paladins, and druids are seen as "gifts" from the gods themselves,,,, which they are... elves are also a hated delicacy, as when the other races banded to fight together, the elves said and i quote, "bunk this" and went into hiding, they at this point are a myth, a bad bedtime story to tell your kids so they behave near christmas time, like the 'telephone' game their appearance and abilities and even life choices have gotten mixed up and confused through the stories shared, some people remember them being cannibalistic monsters, some remember beautiful but evil seductresses, some describe pixies, so on so forth. in a wrap? zombie apoc, elves and arcane magic bad

[GreatDane]

Looks promising! It's a big group you've got. Is Vecna different in this setting, or is Anju dedicated to a different deity (perhaps Wee Jas)? Vecna's a pretty evil god, and doesn't seem to fit Anju's MO.

The writing could use a grammar/spelling upgrade.
