Bands of Power [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
It was hundreds of years ago, in the northern territories ruled by the ancient dwarf lords when Gorffrey, a skillful fire master forged the bands for their king. They are encrusted with two dozen rubies of different sizes each. The face of the bygone king is sculpted on their surfaces. The ancient dwarven magic in the bands gave the king abnormal strength, vitality, and stamina. The intricate spells cast into the bands would help him outlive all his contenders.
The bands caused unrest in the kingdom. Word traveled fast, and it did not take long for assassins to appear. The king was murdered, and the bands stolen. Civil war followed, and before they knew it, all those involved forgot why they were fighting in the first place. The bands were stored away and were soon forgotten, hoping no one would ever seek their might again.
The arcane bands were lost to the world hundreds of years ago. Lost until a mage named Hartvigg, through arcane serendipity, perceived their energy. Hoping to find out more about them but not to risk his skin, he hired a group of foolhardy adventurers to help him explore the vault. Hartvigg claims the bands must be hidden somewhere inside. He describes what path to take in the woods and how to find the ancient dungeon’s entrance.

We're going to start with Level 1 Characters. A link to the Shadowdarklings site is below to create your characters. I was originally going to limit the selections to Zine #1, but figured we may as well just dive in and see what happens.

As this is basically a one-shot, you don't need to develop a complex backstory. Just have an idea of some basic characteristics and what their basic motivation is for adventuring, and more specifically why they might have agreed, been tricked or coerced into going on this mission. Feel free to do more than this as well, of course. Make up cities, towns or villages as you like. This adventure takes place near the village of Far Meadow. If you want to be from Far Meadow, have some idea how/why you gained your level/skills; why you are there/returned, etc.
Don't be surprised if your character dies. Maybe run up a second one, just in case. Not that it takes long to create a new one.
