However I do actually want to get something going here, and it seems most sensible to me to set up something up which allows a gradual introduction to the world.
I've done an awful lot of reading about Pavis, Prax and the Wastes. I could almost run a campaign here were it not for the fact that I'm missing Pavis and Big Rubble box sets. I could probably live with not having the second one, but the first details the single most important event / adventure to happen in this area (the Giant Cradle) - an event which I would definately want my adventurers involved in. I don't understand why that scenario was not re-published - I feel any Pavis campaign set at 1621 is sabotaged without it.
[sorry about the rant]
So - I'm thinking of starting things up in Pent - since it feels almost a blank land whose only contribution to the Gloranthan saga is the occasional invasion by the (mongol) barbarian hordes.
Pent seems like a good place to transport the AH Vikings box set. This is all pretty self-contained stuff which could be made reasonably Gloranthan (or at least not non-Gloranthan). I like a Scandinavian look and feel.
Characters could be Sun or Storm worshippers, and I can see possibilities for porting non-RQ stuff across which is relatively self-contained (I'm determined to shove the AD&D Giants/Drow stuff in there somewhere - what could Lolth be I wonder?). The intention then is to add more and more Gloranthan stuff into scenarios as I get to grips with it, and gradually migrate adventurers southward into the Wastes.
Finally, there's a nice link with a Pol Joni Barbarian and the Garhound Contest (in Sun County), and maybe by the time the adventurers are queueing up to get into Pavis (where, of course, they'll meet Arlaten from Strangers in Prax) I might have found that Pavis box.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
