Walldorn Characters


Strange events are about to occur In the nation of Walldorn.
Amongst this chaos, four men from the village of Hilltop may find
themselves lost in the tides of madness, or perhaps the regions
only hope.

Walldorn Campaign Setting

I think it's every Dungeon Masters dream to create their own homebrew setting. Also common is the DM with a setting he continues to add notes for, but never feels ready to unveil for his group. Such has been the case with me, but no more! I have officially unleashed the setting I've been  intermittently working on for at least 5 years upon my players. But before we talk about the game, I should give an idea of my world and the tone I'm going for.

As such I'll post from the players guide I gave to the players during character creation.

Further Update

Oh hey! This thing! Remember? no? yeah...

Essentially, I started this blog back in the dark ages as a way to document my hobby activities, particularly regarding pen and paper role playing games. Since then I basically forgot about it, until very recently of course.

At this point I've actually got lots going re rpgs and other hobbies, so It's the perfect time to start this thing up again. So without further ado, why don't i summarise where i am regarding nerd stuff?

 Regarding rpgs, I've been won over from Pathfinder by the 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons streamlined and old school approach. I have already run a campaign up to 5th level, and am starting a new one In my homebrew setting, which I'll probably be talking about a lot on this page. I'm also still a big fan of Warhammer fantasy roleplay's first and second editions, and will doubtless come back to the old worlde in the future.

Speaking of Warhammer, you might surmise from what little I've written on this blog that I'm quite fond of the old world and it's lore. So like a lot of people, I wasn't exactly pleased with the super sexy reboot Warhammer got in the form of Age of Sigmar. I own a reasonably large collection of Goblins, and I thought they would be relegated to occasionally being brought out for a nostalgic game of 8th Edition, until I started getting into Kings of War. It plays like the kind of rank and file game I remember warhammer being before it started to become more decadent (although still fun). It also helps that they don't care what model range you use, so my goblins needn't be relegated to boxes under the bed. My brother over at his blog, has also embraced the Mantic spirit, and converted his Skaven to Ratkin. He tends to beat me a bunch, but we plan on doing a narrative campaign, which will doubtless lead to some battle reports on our blogs. I am tempted to only post them when I win :-p

So expect some roleplaying content, painted miniatures and general gaming goodness.

Assuming I don't forget about this again.
