Welcome to the world of the Hyborian Age, it is a low magic, high adventure setting.
I am hoping to find some more players for the game and add some new blood to it.
The story so far takes place in the city of Arenjun; also known as the City of Thieves.
The heroes hired on as caravan guards for a powerful merchant in Zamora known as Hadramas.
They have guarded from Shadizar to Arenjun, and now the merchant has told them that it will be a week before they must continue on, and that they should enjoy themselves during the week long festival known as Beggar's Feast.
The link to the session is here: http://www.neverwinterconnections.com/games/index.cfm/fuseaction/displaygame/id/31870.htm
There you will find a list of modifications, selectable races, and forums to write on.
Magic is very rare in the Hyborian Age, and mages get a modified spell table with reduced spell gain, and though this seems pretty underpowered....thing to remember is, that for the most part, a lvl 20 warrior still has basic armor and weapons with no magic properties....so a mage at high levels is a fearsome opponent in a world without magical defenses.
Well, feel free to post your thoughts or interest.
