Re: TFT Campaign Ideas
Right? There are some changes I'll need to make obviously, but reading thru the materials over the last couple weeks, it is much less than I initially thought. I even think many of the setting's meta-plots will mesh nicely with TFT background elements (i.e. the Spire was created by the Mnoren). So far, I'm just making a bunch of mental notes right now, but I plan to share my conversion notes with this group once I start formally writing everything up. I need to finish my revisions to the core rules first though.

Re: TFT Campaign Ideas
As an interesting aside, I think that Monte Cook and I must've loved a lot of the same things growing up. He created a leonine race (originally for his Unearthed Arcana RPG) called Litorians which are also featured in his Ptolus setting. Back in '85, I created a similar race for my TFT campaign based on the lion-men of Mongo from that cool Flash Gordon cartoon that share many of the same attributes with Monte's creation. There are several elements like this that line up nicely with my own preferences and designs which makes Ptolus that much more attractive to me.

Re: TFT Campaign Ideas
I have vague ideas about a DF setting where the player characters are all inmates in a magical prison floating in the air above the sea, imprisoned by a fantasy India that is at war with fantasy China. The prison is huge and "hands off", so the PCs can journey to obscure wings of the prison where portals to pocket dimensions to gather treasure to pay off work gangs and corrupt guards, to get new gear.

Re: TFT Campaign Ideas
I'm thinking of using Chaosium's old "Sanctuary" setting from the Thieves World stories as the opening locale. Whether it's on Cidri or not is an open question. And (digs out old boxed set), it even has conversion notes for TFT! The old version, of course, but, still.
This should be fun. (Hi. This is my first post here. Nice to meet y'all.) |

Re: TFT Campaign Ideas
Sanctuary is a good choice, especially if you aren't used to putting together NPCs on the fly. If you do feel confident whipping together NPCs as you go, 2nd edition D+D's Lhankmar is an excellent and very well supported set of materials that are also good. I've run both, but am now in up to my neck with a home-cooked setting broadly like those (but about 10x bigger).
