Well everything started well and then real life bogged me down (actually kicked me in the nuts a couple times). I decided QADD was to rules light for my tastes and tried a couple more systems before settling on Sacrosanct Games Altus Adventum. I adapted the characters and restarted the "Tunnels of Terror". It was okay although still not quite what I wanted but before I could write that up New Realms Publishing released Ogres & Underworlds a skill based system that integrates with the card decks I have been using. Grrr, not wanting to do the group again (it would have been like the 6th time as some other systems were tried as well) I decided to start again with new characters in a different part of the world. Head over to my Google site and you can get to the drive folder with the stuff I did. All is good and I made up the new characters; did a very brief history; decided to use Oone's Ruined Town which I stumbled over on my computer and was getting ready to finish adding the characters when I found my Arcana stuff.
Avalon Games' Arcana setting is on I quite liked 2 years ago when I breifly tried to run a Play by Post game set in it. It's moribund corpse is still on Roleplay Market under Northern Lights if you want to take a peek. Anyways I have decided I really like the setting there is an enormous amount of source material. Each month a journal comes out detailing a hex on the map with who rules there and the entire feudal tree with heraldry. Also there is an encyclopedia section which is very very cool as it is mostly a couple sentences about places; things and individual people which you can use for rumors or idle gossip and what not. It is a low power setting without gods and I am okay with the super deep dark world secret and how to use it. Lastly I love the maps. I also like the premise I was using for a campaign so I am going to go over and hide the threads were stuff had happened make up some new characters to fit the setting and post over there instead as it is set up really well to handle RPG's. I will leave the thread for of topic stuff open for comments from anyone in case you feel the desire to look over there and offer a suggestion.
