(Dark) Ptolus campaign advice needed (Tarlyn keep out)
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2012 9:59 am
Hi,
I am running the Madness Rising campaign (with RL twists and NPCs thrown in - Weathermays, Toben the Many, etc.)
For those of you who know of this little gem of an adventure, I am thinking of running Blood of the Gorgon from Open Design in my current Ptolus campaign.
I got a couple of questions...
*****SPOILERS***********
1- I am thinking of running our evil bad guy as written in BotG, but, the catalyst for Armand coming to the forefront is (on top of his madness) contact with Liquid Shadow (From the Ptolus setting - in my campaign someone [BBEG] is using liquid shadow to infect people and turn them into semi-possessed killers). There would be a strong connection with Shadows and Chaos Cults.
2- Also, BBEG would be behind one of the Chaos Cults, the Cult of the Ebon Hand (deformities and such).
3- I can't find any helpful reviews of the adventure Night of Dissolution anywhere... So I am debating whether BBEG would use the Chaos energies released during BotG to release the Galchutt (Night of Dissolution adv) or should I go full on with The Banewarrens adventure? I don't think I can pull both off at the same time...
Those of you familiar with BotG and Ptolus, what do you think?
And yes, this might be kind of obscure to some... Sorry.
Thanks!
Patrick
