I'd like to run some Trilemma adventures, kind of a campaign, using either Schrödinger's Ghosts or 1400. Or even Tiny Dungeons. Or WoDu Breakers.
Trilemma is ... a collection of 55 adventure sites, regions, and settlement. Mostly one-pagers, some two- and even three-pagers. All in the same weird, weird setting called the Tristhmus where an ancient culture called the Martoi learned Powers and established an empire that eventually disintegrated into civil war.
The End of the Martoi says:
In the wars of the collapse, the Martoi deployed the three worst of their eldritch curses, strange weapons of last resort. Where Drops of Night were thrown into the air, the sun’s rays retreated from the earth. Where the Tears of Memory were poured into the rivers, people walked away from their lives to live as animals. Where the Water of Ending was poured into the soil, no children would be born. With these strange weapons deployed, the time of the Martoi was over.The Seree says:
Seree origin mythology claims that their sorcerous might was stolen from the gods, but clear-eyed sages point out that the word, "Seree" comes from a Varnan dialect and simply means, "collector." It’s possible the first Seree were truly from the sky, but their most likely origin is as an hermetic order displaced by the collapse of Varna. . . .Eventually, any benevolent pretense in Seree thinking fell away completely. Although their world was superimposed upon the patchwork of kingdoms, they lived apart from it. Able to ley-walk vast distances, lift whole fortresses into the air, and rule from the mountain tops, they saw their destiny playing out across the grand sweep of continents—not mired in the muck of goat-herding and the stink of the coastal cities.
The God Traps says:
At some point, a wizard attempted to snatch one of the gods from the heavens, and against all odds, succeeded. ... Within a few years, several "ensnarement pits" were under construction. The reprisal from the heavens was devastating.Last edited January 24, 2023 1:56 pm
