Players' Club,
I'm considering a launch of an Old School Renaissance (OSR) game using Adventurer Conqueror King System (ACKS) by Autarch Games.
If there is enough interest, I would aim for the game to be a throwback feel to the 1980s/90s versions of D&D (1e, 2e, Box Sets):
...pulp imagery, some intentional use of nostalgia RPG campiness and tropes, retro on the style and aesthetics.
...danger in the air, intermittent imbalance.
...creepy monsters, detestable villains, variety NPCs, action-oriented sets.
…lure of treasure, carousing, fame, and eventual power for bold adventurers who rise to the challenge.
...DM striving to work with creative Players to create badass memorable scenes throughout!
Will use the ACKS default setting, the Auran Empire.
...shortest descriptive summary: Rome in decline.
...overall will be a Heroic Fantasy / borderline Sword and Sorcery style, NOT High Fantasy.
References:
ACKS (core system rules)
Auran Empire Primer
PCs starting at low level - probably level 1. Coming up as nobodies from nowhere, taking a shot at becoming LEGENDS.
Tentatively planning a small scope introduction adventure (estimate time: 1 month) to test drive the rules and setting - familiarize all of us with the system, the group, the game patterns.
With success of the Intro, would move on to a medium-term next episode (estimated time: 2-3 months).
Seeking Old School Gamers from the early days and/or New Era Gamers who have an interest in and respect for the older versions of the game.
Also seeking interactive and creative Gamers who enjoy making interesting posts to showcase the character, to cooperate with other Players, to paint the scene and tell the collective story.
General posting goals: 1 post per day / 4-5 days a week
Thanks for considering.
Let me know - any interest?
