Submissions must be fantasy characters designed to be used in an AD&D 2nd edition campaign setting. See bottom of page for submission specifics.

  


In the early years of current reckoning when the peoples of the reach were realizing the potential for this new land to the west, a group of mages calling themselves the Dark Society sought to usurp the power of a lesser god. The god they chose was Venturi, god of air and weather. Although the mages did not gain Venturi's might, they did manage to loose his power on the world and now Venturi's Wrath visits all who would follow the path of magic and his curse all who live on Stormwind.

"The setting doesn't just exist for my character to do stuff. I get the feeling like things were going on before I got there, and will continue to go on after I leave. The setting has a life of its own ."

Submissions
There are currently 3 openings for my Windstorm, Curse of Venturi campaign. It has been going on an off for approximately 10 years and has a complete player section on my website with background information, maps, etc. 

WindStorm is a game for human and half-human characters only. Due to factors in the world Demi-humans are looked down upon by all the human races. They are seen as being arrogant and the cause for many of the problems that plague The Long Reach, which is the area where the players will be operating.

PC submissions must use a portion of the world history in their backgrounds with those more closely integrated into the game world given preference. Submissions will undergo a three step process.

  • Initial submission of your character concept that includes a rudimentary background. Since you may not have access to the main site during this stage be as general as possible.

  • Once your initial concept is approved you will then develop your background more thoroughly using the resources within the main site. Only your characters background should be submitted at this stage and it should be world specific.

  • The last stage will be you character sheet, submitted in core rules format or as a word or HTML document. In general once you have gotten to this stage your character will have been approved.

    If you have any questions about anything you cannot find on this site e-mail me and I will try to answer them. 

Character submissions should be 1st level. I will award bonus experience levels, magic items, and equipment to those with especially good backgrounds that are tightly integrated into my world. 

Your PC can enter the game as high as 5th level depending on the quality of your submission and integration into the campaign world. Players will start with nothing except what they have been awarded from the background review. 

I am looking for good writers who are prepared to write in 3rd person past tense posting at least twice per week, not including responses to other players. You should be fluent in English and be able to communicate effectively. Effective players will not be afraid to embellish the environment when they post. For instance if your PC is in a forest you can describe the tree the PC sits next to, or you can add dialog from an NPC you create on the fly to role-play a shopping trip as long as you are not taking control of an existing NPC already introduced into the game.

Combat will exist as a means of injecting suspense into the game, but it is not the main thrust. Experience will be awarded for participation, content, role-playing, and if the post draws others into the game by generating interaction between the players, as well as for combat and puzzle solving awards. Bonus experience will be given to those that embrace the game world and the terms used in it. For instance orcs do not exist on Stormwind, they are called ogres instead.

Currently the game is being played using a list server from this site. Private posts will use standard e-mail and the DM should be included in all of these. A summary will be available on the main player site, and the DM will update that information periodically. DM posts will go out at least twice per week to the main group and promptly for OOC questions and world background information requests unless I am waiting on player action. 

Also, this game does not have a fixed plot for the characters. Stormwind is a world in motion and things are happening everywhere and will continue to do so even if the players decide to move on. If the players as a group decide to pursue a course of action outside of the offered adventures, that will be allowed. Individuals setting out on their own will also be allowed but keep in mind that posts may be slower as game time will pass between the two groups at an equal rate.

Stormspace is the location for my original AD&D campaign world that has been active for over six years and is still going strong. Originally Stormspace was designed as a place for my Spelljammer campaign to operate in, but was later expanded to include Stormwind, the dominant world in the system. For those people that do not like or prefer Spelljammer keep in mind that Stormwind is a standard AD&D gameworld, though with the distinctive flavor of Stormspace. This world is detailed within this site in both public and non public areas as some material has been contributed from players and some of it is copyright Wizards of the Coast. The latter material is for use in describing the campaign material as it should be for the AD&D 2nd Edition rules system. All items not belonging to Wizards of the Coast are copyright James McCall 1998 with the exception of those items contributed by players.
