Expedition: general discussions. Auto-translated

vampires suck!
why is other undead so underpowered? I think it's not very fair.

Revan doesn't often have zombies or skeletons available in the game. I would even say that they are available as often as vampires. There were also awesome Nya'Shi. Unfortunately, Revan never reused this concept anywhere else. Nebka's last two games feature the same skeletons, zombies, and an additional option in the form of liches. The latter are one of the few ways to create a playable mage without taking obviously overpowered branches. In my third expedition, there was an option to play as a walking armor, while in the fourth, there was an option to play as a necromancer who jumps on the corpses of his minions. At certain points, there was also an idea to create an option to play as a ghost character, but that didn't work out.

what about mummies? and who else is there? I'm still waiting for the opportunity to play as the Undead. In general, we need an expansion where we can create characters from evil races/creatures/factions, and thus represent evil from the very beginning.

If paladins kill us after the first hundred posts, will that be considered a happy ending?

We usually have about half, if not more, of the players fitting your description anyway.

Leaving that aside, my third expansion initially had a similar concept, but then "something went wrong." There was also a concept for an expedition where all the player characters would be not very good people, each with a distinct and prominent negative trait, who become victims of a curse and are forced to find a way to break it. Moreover, the game was supposed to be hardcore, and the curse would give good combat bonuses (at the cost of reducing the character's freedom of action) and would intensify if the character indulged in their flaw. The idea was to somehow balance all of this during the search for a cure.

It’s better to die at the hands of a paladin than at the hands of a bandit.

An expedition, but instead of exploring the surrounding world, we learn about the GM's fetishes.

This isn't even a joke; it's the reality of Revan's latest expeditions...

(at the cost of reducing the character's freedom of action)

Doesn't sound very good.

It wouldn't be a direct consequence, but rather through either a greater number of checks or more complex ones, and if the character failed, they would be forced to act in accordance with the nature of their own curse. However, if a character accumulated the maximum number of curse points, that would be game over, at which point they would completely lose their humanity and transform into a non-player monster.

I'm proud of myself 😎

Continuing the topic that Alex started about jokes regarding working on expeditions.

 

When you sit down to write a new set:

When you finish working on it and reread the result of your efforts:

I took the old setting from the expansion and developed it into a comprehensive lore guide :cool:

And when were you planning to gather, in January?

And when were you planning to open it, in January?

If you're asking me, as I said, I'll open it in mid-December and start in early January. I still haven't decided whether to create cards for you.
Of course, you can open it next week, but I won't be able to manage it properly in December anyway. It's better to spend a month polishing the setting and start properly in January.
