Sorry about the longer than expected down time. It turned out I needed more time away from weekly updates than expected, plus some Real Life stuff was going on as well. The Real Life stuff is mostly under control right now and we are working on a more permanent solution to the issue. If you want to help, maybe purchase a copy of my RPG, Adventures in the Green? I've just reduced the price on Book I and Book II to $6 each. I don't have a Patreon of Kofi account, so this is currently the only way to get me some help and I would greatly appreciate it.
In the meantime, I've paused my playtest game using Adventures in the Green, partly because I've accomplished everything I wanted to do as a playtest but mostly because I ran out of ideas on where to go next, story-wise. I'll eventually figure something out and resume that campaign, possibly with a time jump over the part I'm having issues with.
To keep that group together, I'm starting a new campaign. I polled the players what they might be interested in and the majority wanted to use the HERO System rules for whatever happened next. One player bowed out as he is not fond of that system, but offered assistance if I needed non-system specific help.
I decided I did not want to create yet another new setting, so after brainstorming for a while I decided to place it in the same world as my Sudden Sea campaign, but in a different location. I also decided that this campaign would have a fixed end and not be a forever campaign. I settled on a search for lost treasure at the behest of an unknown patron. I then worked out how the treasure got lost and where. From that I'm working backwards for the storyline and clues. I've revised the background twice already and after the first session (a prequel shakedown) I realized I need to rework the beginning of the actual adventure some to mesh better with the PCs skills and capabilities. I think I'll be doing this all the way through so the PCs are most engaged with events. Keep an eye out for session notes for In Search Of to see how it goes.
Later!
