In their world, ancient trees bore the wisdom of time, and the world was alive with spirits. They possessed a language of such haunting beauty that its echoes stir memories within us of a people we once were.

Originally <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/313449/Castles--Crusades-Codex-Celtarum-2nd-Printing?src=hottest_filtered" style="color: #333333; text-decoration-line: none;">the  Castles & Crusades Codex Celtarum 2nd </a>Printing kickstarter passed me by. But luckly we were able to get in on the action for this book. So what's different about this book then the original edition? Pretty much just about everything:<br /></span><ol><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">'<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/313449/Castles--Crusades-Codex-Celtarum-2nd-Printing?src=hottest_filtered" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;">Castles & Crusades Codex Celtarum 2nd Printing</a>'  has expanded PC options,monsters, & spells. </span></li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Beyond most people's awareness there's lots of expanded adventure options on the table top. </span></li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The artwork is very well done & so is the cartography. </span></li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The role of the Celtic spiritual, supernatural, & even realms of the gods have been expanded upon in the form of the mythological spirit realms. </span></li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Lots more artwork in between the pages. .</span></li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The role of the Druid & other traditional Dungeons & Dragons classes has been expanded with the Celtic framework of 'The <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/313449/Castles--Crusades-Codex-Celtarum-2nd-Printing?src=hottest_filtered" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;">Codex Celtarum 2nd Printing</a>'. </span></li></ol><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The role of the Fey expands across the world of Celtic myth & its done right.

The overall book speaks volumes for a campaign that utilizes a Celtic or Druidic theme as its base. For example the '<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/313449/Castles--Crusades-Codex-Celtarum-2nd-Printing?src=hottest_filtered" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;">Codex Celtarum 2nd Printing</a>' is a perfect book to use for an Arthurian themed campaign. The material fits the mythos so well that it blend in perfectly. <br /><br />For a classic Advanced Dungeons & Dragons campaign such as Greyhawk, '<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/313449/Castles--Crusades-Codex-Celtarum-2nd-Printing?src=hottest_filtered" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;">Codex Celtarum 2nd Printing</a>' could add in an extra layer of material. This is  especially true if the dungeon master is using Castles & Crusades as his or her base system. <br /><br /></span><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></p><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOePymL5t9lWVwBc04jp8CR-Vm9W48GYLQZHUIk2w7OysO7neLp69Xtd8L9aERmWX5iU9KxsG_ViURoLfSbpQLUjlFj4UUyr7NTVHi6H4ViSW_BISNlGs-MdnQ6DVpiG2SGMqO4dmDW6Q/s702/download+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #28a8e1; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="702" data-original-width="570" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOePymL5t9lWVwBc04jp8CR-Vm9W48GYLQZHUIk2w7OysO7neLp69Xtd8L9aERmWX5iU9KxsG_ViURoLfSbpQLUjlFj4UUyr7NTVHi6H4ViSW_BISNlGs-MdnQ6DVpiG2SGMqO4dmDW6Q/w520-h640/download+%25281%2529.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="520" /></a><br /><br />The <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/313449/Castles--Crusades-Codex-Celtarum-2nd-Printing?src=hottest_filtered" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;">Codex Celtarum 2nd Printing</a> gives Greyhawk a much more Celtic mythological edge to the campaign world.

This is a small manor and fortress that was tucked away on the far side of the map. This session report picks right up from <a href="https://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/12/vampire-queen-5e-and-10-year.html">here on the blog. </a>And this brooding small stone walled fortress surrounded a central manor house.

And these things were nasty! The hobgoblins were slightly stronger then normal doing an extra +2 to all hand to hand damge due to vampire blood. The things guarded a manor house and we made it over the wall into the lower tunnels under the place. That's when we ran straight into the orc shaman and his horde of zombies!?! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">And then there was another stone coffin that we only caught a glimpse of before our cleric got nailed by a poison blow gun dart! Fortunately it was only sleep toxin other wise we'd be in in deep spit. We fought past two orc skeletons to retreat back into the woods. Fortunately we didn't alert the whole place to our presence. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJkEoizdLMxmJoDlX7JNL8PBYyEUtjsQAp0Hcpihb9zypI68CTD3-53G32uxDOB6fB02bN6ZsfwhxFKmBMAUtCHsCnGhyGJCv2HJ1yy90ilqzZybmk659R3Ty8TmW2TgE0_24HK-pVrUtxXYHgcDG7ydV3ONwWTzWSVQS2sO0aV7CjhorkcSnQcFob7pI/s640/TLG-80109-Players-Handbook-Cover-Front-scaled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="502" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJkEoizdLMxmJoDlX7JNL8PBYyEUtjsQAp0Hcpihb9zypI68CTD3-53G32uxDOB6fB02bN6ZsfwhxFKmBMAUtCHsCnGhyGJCv2HJ1yy90ilqzZybmk659R3Ty8TmW2TgE0_24HK-pVrUtxXYHgcDG7ydV3ONwWTzWSVQS2sO0aV7CjhorkcSnQcFob7pI/w502-h640/TLG-80109-Players-Handbook-Cover-Front-scaled.jpg" width="502" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Now we're in the woods and licking our wounds from the damn orcs and the shamans.

We finished off the last of the zombie bandits from last game. This wasn't an easy fight to say the least. But then we came across the bandit king's lair during the daylight hours. And the bastard was a vampire and that lair was guarded by giant rats and giant bats. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRclhKb0EQllOTw4DTV-cKtw29JIQbpxZwkfSkSoj6TGopv0_RBZq7LEfYBUrXCdMPNXVVMLHn49SUK-ltqbXJDwfPvZJ7_KQHziynI1jAdbnV0NoQPWl2qZW3Vif9mzha2xfeOvZVkZQduds-03wT1UTzA-fnLFVr2F9G3p_T73pDaVPlLnCHahwOu0Q/s821/vampire%20queen%20cover.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="821" data-original-width="639" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRclhKb0EQllOTw4DTV-cKtw29JIQbpxZwkfSkSoj6TGopv0_RBZq7LEfYBUrXCdMPNXVVMLHn49SUK-ltqbXJDwfPvZJ7_KQHziynI1jAdbnV0NoQPWl2qZW3Vif9mzha2xfeOvZVkZQduds-03wT1UTzA-fnLFVr2F9G3p_T73pDaVPlLnCHahwOu0Q/w498-h640/vampire%20queen%20cover.jpg" width="498" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We're playing a variation of <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Hanging Coffins of The Vampire Queen.

We were conserving our mages and so forth. So it was down to dirty tricks and two caskets of burning oil down the enterance of the cavern lair. <br />The free willed intelligent zombies are part of the vampire queen's mercenary forces and have been one of the hazards that we've run into twice now. This part time we were ready. There were passive dangers from the bandit king's lair including dart traps, pit traps, green slime (always a crowd pleaser), and rot grub pits. All passive defenses. And then there were the numerous giant rats, and bats to contend with not to mention the unintelligent zombies and two intelligent ghoul body guards. We had to think our way past everything. And we had to do it by sunset with all of the traps designed to slow us down. And finally we got to the stone coffin and it was a false set up with an intellgent slime monster. And here's where the wizard's fire ball spell came in truly handy. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglLuYpu6Bqt2wepgmAf3IPo_KnFCzE5dTaadm22RHdpobbCx3u2UJjv2H-qrFKc9MSrAXBV-WTB4I7TDg2hsQxvRewdATOvNrF-_ksckwzYAX7SAH2m7C-dBU9S-Ec42duOuY6z7dSYovGAOcSc0Sy2xb75Fszwjk1C8H_hokhDhniRaKPUzn4f6X4Mno/s640/TLG-80109-Players-Handbook-Cover-Front-scaled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="502" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglLuYpu6Bqt2wepgmAf3IPo_KnFCzE5dTaadm22RHdpobbCx3u2UJjv2H-qrFKc9MSrAXBV-WTB4I7TDg2hsQxvRewdATOvNrF-_ksckwzYAX7SAH2m7C-dBU9S-Ec42duOuY6z7dSYovGAOcSc0Sy2xb75Fszwjk1C8H_hokhDhniRaKPUzn4f6X4Mno/w502-h640/TLG-80109-Players-Handbook-Cover-Front-scaled.jpg" width="502" /></a></span></div><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This is so DM Steve, slow us down and let the NPC rise to finish us off. Not this time, we have two thieves and they found the secret door to the bandit king's tomb behind a false mozaic of the undead bastard who was apparently some minor knoble in life. We staked hime, cut off the head, stuffed the head with garlic, and then staked the body out for sunrise while we waited in the bushes for his forces to come! This is where we ended the session. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/12/vampire-queen-5e-and-10-year.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/12/vampire-queen-5e-and-10-year.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2023-12-09T19:12:00-08:00'>7:12 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/12/vampire-queen-5e-and-10-year.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=6115538357968975350&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=6115538357968975350&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=6115538357968975350&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

And these things have been tough but the real headache was running into a party of pig faced Orc adventurers! These things were mercenaries working for the vampire queen. And scattered throughout out the vampire queen's lands have been her mercenaries and forces. We've recovered some treasure but it's mostly been supplies and such! We're on the outer edges of the vampire queen's domain. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQURSSgbOt599YGpX6YObiuB6x5VKM2_CN2GklBx7xMPSQ18SYTljSkbAnDy8xUuqrUSaFhcdXCvtq-CpHDq9HVAcrns89Ary9c5F8mT3FPkxlo3wCnnPUjap9fzOQW9IUrarW7Ed_rvJODBnNPWa_7Rn8pPy-RLuqhPZbX80vs5Lq_bGkobt3IikTh4o/s2560/TLG-80109-Players-Handbook-Cover-Front-scaled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="2006" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQURSSgbOt599YGpX6YObiuB6x5VKM2_CN2GklBx7xMPSQ18SYTljSkbAnDy8xUuqrUSaFhcdXCvtq-CpHDq9HVAcrns89Ary9c5F8mT3FPkxlo3wCnnPUjap9fzOQW9IUrarW7Ed_rvJODBnNPWa_7Rn8pPy-RLuqhPZbX80vs5Lq_bGkobt3IikTh4o/w502-h640/TLG-80109-Players-Handbook-Cover-Front-scaled.jpg" width="502" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We were going to hook up with the local resistence to the vampire queen and instead walked right into an ambush by undesd bandits. And these things are free willed and intelligent zombies with passion for violence and an appetite for flesh or brains. We were ready for them this time however! <br />This is a Tainted Lands version of Greyhawk where the lands have been subverted by the presence of dark lord like rulers. And the Tainted Lands has extended its reach across Greyhawk. Castles & Crusades is ideally suited to this style of campaign. But it has been tough going to say the least! </span></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/11/vampire-queen-5e-and-10-year_28.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/11/vampire-queen-5e-and-10-year_28.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2023-11-28T22:30:00-08:00'>10:30 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/11/vampire-queen-5e-and-10-year_28.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=194798344693766378&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=194798344693766378&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=194798344693766378&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

And we've been forced to flee the skeleton forces of the Vampire Queen & go deeper into the wilderness whilst circling around back to the track where the vampire queen's lair & castle are. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ05iMHZ59IDofNSR_tPdTdrMkTJ8qF1P7TXva15QGsIT3kJf0x9mc8vMlDWrEEaSsBshF55uKP0cMrj-_5-6G9T8Zw8yHre3ewfklUa_XiHiku7MBCy9XLjN9-2YyUOu5NV12kvgFPuJ0w9kIfNClW5H6wgzQ6doHeaON7IVmsBhXachVkntQvmAw-bk/s640/Vampire%20queen%20II.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="496" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ05iMHZ59IDofNSR_tPdTdrMkTJ8qF1P7TXva15QGsIT3kJf0x9mc8vMlDWrEEaSsBshF55uKP0cMrj-_5-6G9T8Zw8yHre3ewfklUa_XiHiku7MBCy9XLjN9-2YyUOu5NV12kvgFPuJ0w9kIfNClW5H6wgzQ6doHeaON7IVmsBhXachVkntQvmAw-bk/s16000/Vampire%20queen%20II.jpg" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">During session two we've encountered packs of wolves and had been forced to flee toward a trapper's cabin to restock and supply. Even with higher level PC's this has proven to be a bit on the daunting side with lots of dodging and weaving. Our two cleric have been put upon for both martial and first aid while we found the trapper's cabin with no one home. We've left appropriate gold coin as recompense as we've gathered new arrows, torches, etc. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXiKyc-8IHWE9Jf4P31A_jzW8ZgAPxC4QxJBc7Z4vUwFPn49isJv5Mes520VKjWhs7gV-UPfAbJ-SJgFXEwxgmUFYHdcKJOukpjftz57aZNWiZOF-O5i1eLi-LirPmA_DqLHD8IwPYXX5UB5dqw3UQgU75X_XdDSeONm4Lq9CLnFpuV5CuD7mpEknv8lI/s640/Vampire%20Queen%20III.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="498" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXiKyc-8IHWE9Jf4P31A_jzW8ZgAPxC4QxJBc7Z4vUwFPn49isJv5Mes520VKjWhs7gV-UPfAbJ-SJgFXEwxgmUFYHdcKJOukpjftz57aZNWiZOF-O5i1eLi-LirPmA_DqLHD8IwPYXX5UB5dqw3UQgU75X_XdDSeONm4Lq9CLnFpuV5CuD7mpEknv8lI/w498-h640/Vampire%20Queen%20III.jpg" width="498" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We left the cabin as soon as possible and fled into the woods at daybreak at break neck pace with the wolf packs on our tail. The night found us in a cave back on the trail we needed and our backs against the cavern wall. We're counting torches and conserving arrows. We heard pig faced orcs down in the valley below and saw that they had a shaman. This is bad news. This means that the vampire queen is using mercenary forces to shore up her own. We ended here for now. <br /> This is beginning to feel like a horror movie instead of a Castles & Crusades game given that we're using James Ward's Tainted Lands as a sorta of a background element for Greyhawk this isn't a bad thing. </span></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/11/vampire-queen-5e-and-10-year_14.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/11/vampire-queen-5e-and-10-year_14.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2023-11-14T09:50:00-08:00'>9:50 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2023/11/vampire-queen-5e-and-10-year_14.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=6288182884187992922&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=6288182884187992922&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=6288182884187992922&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Two of our number bought it with cross bolts to the chest.<br />We retreated with the skeletons giving chase. And then sounding a horn for reenforcements. Needless to say that things were not going as planned. We retreated deep into the woodlands and hastely buried our dead. <br />The sounds of horns awakened us! The undead were on our trail! This was not supposed to go like this. We stumbled into an ideallic looking cabin in the woods and a full array of skeletons camped out by it! Our party had to get back on the offensive and attacked immediately. This time we were able to defeat the skeleton warriors. <br /><br /><br /></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghGK4iiyKqAp0LUwlr44ZZkAAF6rjStINEM5PCO8o2F81dHf-HV3AA_-iyo3OoB5PxsTmFbj6l3ljlGaZQt-dUzYcVyiNxWfCrT3zAZcyflD0F76XlMwKGOEYVCFW1-H-c6EZbLikrAXIq1BkV6nRYioSufh4hI4RCeIDUhCMEix-l4wF9pb8XIxb4Xl8/s820/Vampire%20queen%20II.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="820" data-original-width="636" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghGK4iiyKqAp0LUwlr44ZZkAAF6rjStINEM5PCO8o2F81dHf-HV3AA_-iyo3OoB5PxsTmFbj6l3ljlGaZQt-dUzYcVyiNxWfCrT3zAZcyflD0F76XlMwKGOEYVCFW1-H-c6EZbLikrAXIq1BkV6nRYioSufh4hI4RCeIDUhCMEix-l4wF9pb8XIxb4Xl8/w496-h640/Vampire%20queen%20II.jpg" width="496" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> So we're using a combination of Castles & Crusades with higher level PC's.

Sorry, Trolls but its true even though there are place where the campaign setttings can & should overlap. And this is where Greyhawk Adventures and The City of Greyhawk shine.

Hanging Coffins has the PC's in peril right out of the gate; "Death or freedom? The Vampire Queen has challenged a small band of her worst prisoners to escape from her wicked dungeon lair. With all of your original weapons, magic items and possessions, it is up to you to outwit and fight your way through terrible traps, beastly monsters, and all the horrific surprises she has arranged for you! The Module that started it all is sure to delight and challenge the most skilled players!"'<br />We set 'Hanging Coffins' in Greyhawk just outside of the city of Greyhawk ruins. The vampire princess recently woken up by the movements of the humanoid tribes just outside of her hidden valley. And this lines up with material described in James Ward's Greyhawk Aventures. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEgSqp3xxyO4BwXaZfUzT6F8NwiTIshAx2FBvtjqeKr-mTBhSAcFxciMgZI2XIZUDt2log8L_C7kWX_1W8OUVFel-DsuTaRLN8ugxUb4ucke9X6jPG_sGuKkAij4OLepdMMxG6pya4R_6Q8boCH4yU-HxZHxGqX2_Bx4Zxh3zDhpW5ZNt1sx4uRaAJbFg/s640/17407.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEgSqp3xxyO4BwXaZfUzT6F8NwiTIshAx2FBvtjqeKr-mTBhSAcFxciMgZI2XIZUDt2log8L_C7kWX_1W8OUVFel-DsuTaRLN8ugxUb4ucke9X6jPG_sGuKkAij4OLepdMMxG6pya4R_6Q8boCH4yU-HxZHxGqX2_Bx4Zxh3zDhpW5ZNt1sx4uRaAJbFg/w480-h640/17407.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">The vampire princess is trying to reassert her power base around her hidden valley. She's been capturing adventurers to shore up her knowledge of modern politic of Greyhawk. And there's plenty of evidence of this in <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/marktaormino/vampire-queen-5e-and-10-year-anniversary-1e-softcovers"> 'The Hanging Coffins of the Vampire Princess'</a><br />'Hanging coffins' isn't for the faint of heart clocking in at levels 10-14 which is going to be the middle 7th and above in Castles & Crusades. The vampire princess's dungeons and ruins are definitely build to test the adventurers. What makes 'Hangings Coffins' solid is really good maps, encounters, cartography, etc. and it made it a formula that Dark Wizard Games has followed. <br />And this is something that allows a DM to really take advantage of the Greyhawk campaign setting. A fact that  could be used to simply drop 'Hanging Coffins' into Greyhawk ad hoc.  <br />'Hanging Coffin' is solid as a high level mid level adventure & is perfect to introduce the vampire princess as a reoccuring  NPC villainess. An NPC that can return again and again as a villain who can't seem too be put into her coffin. 'Hanging Coffins' has </span><span style="background-color: white;"> demons and other vampires in the wander monster table. Liches, demons, succubi, greater devils, nearly 50 vampires in total. These can end a party of adventurers without any problems. <br />The Greyhawk angle plays well with the vampire princess as a minor evil influence manuplating several minor humanoid army. The demons, liches, vampires listed in the random encounters could easily be the vampire princess's royals and former family. These minor royals could play a larger part to the party as the vampire princess gains more of a foothold within her former kingdom. While the vampire princess might be a minor royal in the grand scheme of Greyhawk.

font-size: medium;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">"Dave Arneson decided to begin a medieval fantasy campaign game for his active Twin Cities club. From the map of the "land" of the "Great Kingdom" and environs -- the territory of the C & C Society -- Dave located a nice bog wherein to nest the weird enclave of "Blackmoor", a spot between the '''Great Kingdom" and the fearsome "Egg of Coot". Gary Gygax, Introduction to D&D, 1 November 1973 </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /><br /> So it seems that after countless hours of writing & back breaking fan work 'The Hidden in the Shadows' blog is done with <a href="https://boggswood.blogspot.com/2021/">their fan project of 'The Weird Enclave of Blackmoor'. </a>This is a fan project of placing & fleshing out of Dave Arneson's Blackmoor within the realm of Greyhawk according to the one hundred & two page project's introduction ; "This book presents an overview of Blackmoor for Greyhawk players; it's major places, people, and events. The goal of this book is to provide just enough detail for the Game Master to build adventure, while avoiding the mind-numbing text dumps too often found in sourcebooks. The information is not intended to be thorough or highly detailed, but sufficient to provide a Game Master with just what is needed to run a Blackmoor campaign grounded in tradition but allowing for creative freedom and imagination. It is a framework upon which many different styles of dress may be hung. It is system neutral, so it may be used with any ruleset, and it is adapted to the Greyhawk setting so that Greyhawk referees will have access to the wealth of Blackmoor material in a familiar and readily useable way." </span></p><div class="separator" style="background-color: white;

The sourcebook does exactly what it says on the cover. It delivers a history of the Braunstein game, Arneson's Blackmoor history, Gary Gygax's part with Greyhawk, then delivers the goods with a full overview of the region that eventually was covered over in the Black Ice. This work is both a what if & what the Hell giving us a region steeped in conflict & chaos. <br />'The Weird Enclave of Blackmoor' takes the veil back on<a href="https://greyhawk.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Ice" style="color: #28a8e1; text-decoration-line: none;"> the region of Black Ice</a> & then doubles down by giving a solid overview of the region, its NPC's, areas, major powers, and even how the technological devices of the 'City of the Gods' fits into the Greyhawk area. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">But is it good?! </span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">In a word?! Yes I believe it fits the bill nicely for a fan sourcebook that brings the Greyhawk region alive with a viable Blackmoor setting that could be added into or used as a viable campaign setting. The ideas here are fleshed out with history, hooks, NPC's & with places described. Take for example the classic Castle Blackmoor itself; "Castle Blackmoor Rising over fifty feet above the town, the black rock upon which Blackmoor Castle is built is an impressive geological edifice. On the lake side it is a sheer cliff, but on the town side it is a mix of steep rises and low cliffs with a single narrow road winding up the hill to the castle gatehouse on the eastern wall. In places here and there, cracks and fissures in the rock ooze an oily black tar. The rock has a dull sheen and will glisten in bright light, but curiously seems to drink light in at the same time - perhaps due to a high lead content. It is magical in nature, but drawing on that power requires years of study. Many a magic-user has found the rock to be more of a hindrance than help to divination spells being unable to penetrate the stuff." You get the idea that 'The Weird Enclave of Blackmoor' was both love letter & source book for its author. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">But the fact that 'The Weird Enclave of Blackmoor'  ties directly into The Greyhawk box set & campaign setting is the icing on the OSR cake. </span></span><div class="separator" style="background-color: white;

The DM brings to life the regions, peoples, etc. that the sourcebook talks about and then sets all of this within the Greyhawk that we all know and love. All of the rules and reference within the Castles & Crusades Castle Keeper's Guide make this process pretty easy. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB0opnl82cNkRQgq0VQMuxf64C3GfrqdcRuzU-16tXTorOk3x7BHritKlwA23XzHmTNpt3jjuWRg-8MEERQjfdE6IT3ETk80ynsa_c_97lQ4DuJovdMRYpZyTdWlc3q6qdjxe91XGh_3Ijx_bXlYAbN53yLxj-4W4SYdhTPPNDPoaUXvCJhOPfbkztr4s/s380/Castles-Crusades-Castle-Keepers-Guide-650x842.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="380" data-original-width="293" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB0opnl82cNkRQgq0VQMuxf64C3GfrqdcRuzU-16tXTorOk3x7BHritKlwA23XzHmTNpt3jjuWRg-8MEERQjfdE6IT3ETk80ynsa_c_97lQ4DuJovdMRYpZyTdWlc3q6qdjxe91XGh_3Ijx_bXlYAbN53yLxj-4W4SYdhTPPNDPoaUXvCJhOPfbkztr4s/w494-h640/Castles-Crusades-Castle-Keepers-Guide-650x842.webp" width="494" /></span></a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">But is the 'The Weird Enclave of Blackmoor' a viable campaign setting?!
