Hi All, I wanted to see if there was any interest in Beyond the Wall? If you're not familiar with it, here's a link to the game's homepage: BTW Homepage. I'd be running pre-made modules from a different game (The Hero's Journey) that should mesh nicely with BTW's concept of young untested individuals rising to meet challenges of increasing difficulty on the long road to becoming true heroes.
One of the charms of the system is that it has a rather extensive (and fairly easy) mechanic for collaboratively generating character backgrounds, relationships, and the setting of their home village, which is where the first adventure will take place. We can do all this in Session 0, after which you should all have a really good idea of who your characters are, how they know and relate to one another, where they're from and the important people and places that make up the village. From there, of course, these unlikely heroes will be called upon to save their homes, friends and families from utter destruction - you know, the usual.
If this sounds kinda fun or cool, let me know. Thanks! :)
