 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/rythanis_plague_of_the_new_age</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;A basic lowdown of both the characters involved in this RP, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b &gt;Kravis&lt;/b&gt;: A portal wizard who was raised by Neanderthals (or, &#039;Flatheads&#039; as the people of Rythanis call&lt;br /&gt;
them) found in the Jomine Mountains. He is only  21 and has limited battle experience. He was given his War Hammer and his knowledge of portal magic by a nobleman who he had saved from the claws of a Cave Lion.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The Sword of Enlien</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/the_sword_of_enlien</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;I keep meaning to get around to this - so at last, thus begins the saga&lt;a href=&quot;glossary#term52&quot; title=&quot;campaign: A campaign is an ongoing storyline revolving about a continuous group of characters. It is generally made up of a series of adventures within a specific setting.

Since the word &amp;#039;campaign&amp;#039; implies a series of military conquests, games wishing to distance themselves from such martial pursuits have alternate names for their campaigns. For example, Ars Magica campaigns are known as sagas and Vampire: The Masquerade campaigns are known as chronicles. Several games, attempting to invoke the serial dramas of television, have used the term series. &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;modules/glossary/glossary.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of The Sword of Enlien.  This was intended to be a classic dungeon crawl&lt;a href=&quot;glossary#term79&quot; title=&quot;dungeon crawl: (adj, n) A style of gameplay or gameplay session wherein the main activity is the mapping and conquest of pre-determined regions. Such regions are usually man-made &amp;quot;dungeons&amp;quot; wherein various different creatures make their residence with little regard to ecology, economy, or common sense. Generally a very combat-oriented type of gameplay; usually a subset of Hack and Slash.&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;modules/glossary/glossary.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; set in the Birthright setting&lt;a href=&quot;glossary#term66&quot; title=&quot;setting: (s) The setting of a campaign is the game world where it takes place. For a historical campaign, the setting might be the court of King Louis XVI, whereas for a superheroes campaign it might be the fictional city of Metropolis.

Many RPG publishers create settings for use with their products or the GM can create one from scratch. The setting is usually presented as an atlas or encyclopedia of the area where the player characters  are expected to be, with lists of important people the PCs might meet and locations they can explore. 

The game tries to create a fictional reality. More flexible GMs will tweak details of the world to suit the players&amp;#039; character concepts, but the larger and more complete the setting, the more difficult this becomes. On the other hand, a deep and well-developed setting such as Tékumel or Glorantha allows the players to feel that their characters are experiencing and exploring something larger than themselves.&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;modules/glossary/glossary.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of Cerilia.  You will see what I mean by &lt;b&gt;intended&lt;/b&gt; as the story progresses.&lt;/p&gt;
