This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
are there frozen dead dudes strung out along the climbing course acting as macabre landmarks, piles of human excrement, and heaps of garbage too?

ReplyDeletegenerations of hatred for the local mountain dwellers, who try to forget their shameful history appeasing wrathful gods.
so that's a great example of concision over clarity, but at least they're not enlightened guardians of the mountain's purity?
I'm a little reluctant to judge (but not enough to not post at all), but maybe the adventure itself is fine? My idea of an Everest-inspired adventure would be a LotFP wilderness nega-dungeon with all the things Benjamin Baugh mentions. The only reward for survival being able to say you'd done it.
ReplyDeleteAlso good would be Counter-Colonial style, with the players being the locals seeking a way to stop all these outsiders from fucking up their mountain.
Casey G. I love the idea of a local faction killing climbers and making it look like accidents.
