Deep in the heart of the Old Country lies a kingdom long-thought defunct: the Empire of Bones. Hundreds of years ago, the Empire of Bones waged war against the entire continent, only to be defeated by an army of brave soldiers and legendary heroes. In a final, decisive battle, the Lich King was slain and his kingdom sank underneath the earth, never to be seen again.

Recently, however, it seems that strange and evil changes have been going through the Old Country. The sinkhole that used to be the Lich King's kingdom has miraculously turned into an immense mountain that none have ever returned from. The kingdoms surrounding the Old Country, worried that these rumors might be true, have sent you to investigate!

This is a dungeon crawling adventure centered entirely around exploring a vast system of dungeons under a mountain range. Each dungeon is controlled by a powerful lich, and destroying them is the key to defeating their king. You are part of a party of adventurers dedicated to saving the world from the Lich King.


This will be an adventure focusing on you!!! Each dungeon (and, as a result, each lich) will actually be controlled by one of the players, giving us all a chance to flex our creative muscles. You'll be able to make your own story, and flesh out the setting in your own way, or, if you don't want that, you can happily play along with the other players who do!
You can make practically any character you want, with any background you want! This setting is designed from the ground up to be as modular as possible!

Leave a post if you're interested, I'm hoping to have at least four or so players before starting!

'sup

I'm interested in this.

Ehh sure why not? I'm in.

What a relief!

Why the heck not? I'll join.

One question, though: How serious in tone is this RP?

I am asking because I'd like to join something that's not too comic.

Wait if I run a crawl does it have to be a lich?

@Sigurd I'd say the general tone of the setting would be somewhere between Warhammer Fantasy and Munchkin. The villains should, as undead warlords, be eccentric but threatening. The rest of the setting should probably be at the same general level as Lord of the Rings. Something somewhat dark, but not too dark, you know?

@Jerkchicken The main villain of your crawl should at least have gained their power and authority from a lich, either the king himself or one of his minions. Like, say, a bandit king who's managed to find an artifact of unbelievable power in the Lich King's tomb, or a powerful vampire lord who usurped his master's throne for his own means.

Exactly what I've been looking for.

Bump! We could use a couple more players I think.

Bumping again!

Just so no one has to search too hard, here's the link too.

Another bump for the morning and afternoon crew. The more the merrier!

I'll bump just one more time to see if anyone else is interested.

Nobody wants to play with us. :-(

Definitely not a shameless bump. To anyone interested, we have a group of people, but are looking for more to come and have fun and party! That's right, you don't want to miss this opportunity...
