[LongCon] Longcon 2024

[Whirlmeister]

It's a bit too long from my reading of it - you'd probably need to trim it.

There are 12 major story beats, and Longcon gives about 18 hours of gameplay:

• Sat 10am - 11pm with 2 x 1 hour breaks = 11 hours
• Sun 10am - 6pm with 1 x 1 hour break = = 7 hours

So you would have to hit one beat every 90 minutes.. which is completely implausible. Definitely far too long... but probably condensible.
It would make an amazing weekend if I can keep the substance and trim only fluff. I'll have to read through it in detail to work out if I can. Maybe some beats can be combined.

I need to do similar the ‘The Stealer of Souls‘ and ‘The Black Sword’. I think I need to order a print copy to get my head around them.

Game Pitch: Stealer of Souls
For 5 players. Tripod.

This is a hack of the classic Stormbringer RPG campaign, the “Stealer of Souls” to run using Tripod (Wordplay2). The characters are hired in a quest for vengeance in Illmoria by Freida, the daughter of the merchant Nikorn of Bakshaan, who was slain by Elric of Melnibone having made the mistake of allying himself with the Pan Tangian sorceror Thelen K’aarna. Freyda wants revenge upon the merchants hired Elric to kill her father, before she plans to go after the White Wolf himself.

Why Tripod? The system runs faster and is more narratively focused than the original game and I’ve successful used its predecessor Wordplay to run Stormbringer based adventures at Furnace on multiple occasions.

Great campaign by a truly great writer.

Yes, I ran it using SB before. I'm going to work through it and see how I can structure it over two days. I'll explore whether I can actually cover the Black Sword as well.

"Times were the Boyd family ruled these hills, running guns and drugs and turning the profits back onto the towns and ranches bringing the old lie of the New South to life.”
“But things end, and when the FBI raid put torch to the operation the four of you were able to escape in the chaos and forge new lives elsewhere.”
“But the News is saying the infamous Raylan Boyd has died in prison, the family patriarch who made it all possible.”
“Whether it’s to pay your respects or exorcise your demons, seems now is the time to return to Copperhead County.”

I have selected mine, but holding off as I might play! Expecting some more games to be submitted to enlarge the programme.

Think this is going to be a magical event.

Safety Tools: None specifically. The GM will encourage a completely open dailogue at the table and an open table.

In that unfathomable Hyborian Age, you emerge unto the stage to stain the seas crimson in your wake. In this high octane campaign, we will be using the Modiphus campaign book ‘In an Age of Waves Stained Crimson’, but stories tailored to the characters Players will craft these before the weekend.

I have never played a Stormbringer RPG, so really need to find an opportunity.

The 1983 cover of Elric by Julek Heller is the one I like best.

Stormbringer/Elric! were part of my staple gaming diet in the 1990s.

For the true Elric roleplaying experience you need to play a beggar from Nadsokor…

PLAYING STORMBRINGER
So if a 1d4 roll triggers two rolls of a d20 that result in an 18 (grossly fat) and 19 (grossly thin), is the final result just Felonious Gru?
