“It makes good on D&D's largely unfulfilled promise to take characters from lowly insignificance to the heights of power. There are rules for building castles, establishing and ruling domains (as well as wizard's sanctums and thieves guilds), and trading -- just about anything a high-level, power-hungry fantasy character might be interested in pursuing. Adventurer, Conqueror, King is a very cleverly designed game whose rules are quite compatible with most retro-clones, particularly Labyrinth Lord, making it extremely valuable to any player or referee looking to add any of its rules to their existing campaigns. This is good stuff and well worth a look.”

| Description: The Empire has fallen. Long Live the Empire! Five hundred years have passed since the magic that powered the ancient Empire of Valas faltered and died. Civilization has fallen to ruins and only the brave can hold back the steady encroachment of Chaos before all light is banished forever. The Old Empire of Valas seeks to reclaim what it has lost and seeks heroes to be the arm that wields the sword of it's might. But is the old empire worthy of salvation, or should it be allowed to die so that something else can take its place? Only you can decide. | ||

| Description: Real life issues has made getting a gaming quorum difficult of late and my group is looking to add a few players to our group. We are looking to start a new campaign and are planning on using ACKS. I've been gaming for nearly 30 years, getting my start with the Erol Otus version of the D&D Basic Set. The campaign I have I mind is adventurers beyond the current borders of a once great empire, an empire that has told its frontier outposts to look to their own defenses. You can find more info at my blog post: http://19thlevel.blogspot.com/2012/05/wanted-adventurers-in-search-of.html Give me a holler if you'd be interested. We are a pretty easy going group and would love some new faces at our virtual gaming table. | ||

| Zabala |
Open Campaign? Yes Location: Modern Myths- Mythos Room (Northampton US) |

| Description: Life is hard in the border lands of Zarbala. The stink of the nomads and their camels. Stale water and iron rations to eat. Rubbish and dung every where. Beastmen raiding the camp. Mercenaries drunk on the horrible green liquor called "Goblin Water", telling the same stories over and over. Thrassians picking fights out of boredom. Pestilence running rampant. Cadaver men scratching at the palisade after dark, searching for flesh. Slavers snatching the able bodied from their bedrolls. None of that is quite so bad as the sanctimonious rebels seeking a way to destroy the Doge and bring a new age of freedom and equality for all. Replacing his corruption with their own, more likely. The Doge of Zarbala is purging his city of all perceived threats to his rule. Anyone who has the means is getting out of the city and heading for what ever safe haven they can find outside the Doge's reach. So much gold in the ancient and corrupt city there is for those who can win it! A stable of gladiators, selling slaves in the slave market, wine from the south, lotus from the east and the sword arm of the mercenary are all for sale in the greatest of the ancient cities. When the Doge's lust for the blood of his rivals has been sated, you may return without fear of being caught up in the slaughter. Then! Then there will be wine, pleasure slaves and glory! For now, there may be wealth to be gained here amongst the ruins of the Durian empire. Long did the Durians rule over these lands. Zabala is the last of their ancient cities. The rest were destroyed by nomads, rivals to the south and the west, internal strife, plague and decadence. Perhaps not all of the treasure of the ancient world were carried away by barbarians and beastmen. It is said that lurking in the ancient ruins are abominations of Chaos, ancient dragons and warlocks seeking the true names of demons. What treasures are they hoarding away! Nearby, caravans from the east bring their rich haul to the Azure Sea. Some do not make it and are slain and pillaged by beastmen. That wealth can be won back with the bite of an axe! Old barrow mounds hold treasures for those who have gone to the afterlife. The dead cannot spend their coins. That wealth could buy many skins of wine while waiting for the passing of the Doge's fury. | ||

| Description: The world of Lenore is place contested by both men and gods. It is said that a King with too many heirs is as cursed as one with too few: this is especially true of the royal family of Oroboros. To keep the infighting to a minimum, the King has sent his children out to the borders of his kingdom to found their own, hinting that whomever is the most successful shall have his seat when he is gone. Meanwhile Chaos moves in the world, ever eating away at it’s edges. The Free Cites of the Periphery feel the growing threat of both. To the north east the Exiled Princess Lamasara has conquered the Cities of Glass and Jet. The north west is slowly being covered by the hungry woodlands of Morfairsing, creating a diaspora of Elves into human lands the likes of which have never been seen. Missionaries of Iss vie for the people’s faith and Crusaders of Yarmot threaten to put heretics and heathens to the sword, all the while old blood gods lurk in the woods, driving their servants to ever greater acts of depravity. The remaining Free Cities of the Covenant and the Witchlanders struggle to keep their independence in the south, leaving settlers and travelers to struggle alone in the face of raiding barbarians, bandits, and worse. All the while the ruined city of Black Corinth, devoured a century ago by the carnivorous woodlands, slowly comes back to life with new residents… More at: http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/oroboros-rising | ||

| Description: Sandbox hexcrawl through a setting of my own invention which is based on D&D lore, the odder bits of history, Sword and Sorcery novels (especially Jack Vance), fairy tales and Arthuriana. The level of magic is fairly high and it skews towards the weird and melancholic. For more information see my AP thread here: http://www.autarch.co/forums/actual-play/ap-shrouded-lands | ||
| Schedule: Once a month on weekends with play by email side quests for players who want to do that. I'm very open to new people stopping by and no long-term commitment is required but let me know ahead of time (we coordinate schedules through the Tabletop Gaming in Korea facebook group) as DMing more than five people at once makes me crazy. | ||
