In the MTDAA comic series, the Wasp Empire was the threat. They were a tyrannical force that was, in no small part, inspired directly by the Empire in Star Wars. However, they have fallen. And, learning from Star Wars, it's not very effective if they just come back again. I've known since I started design work on this game that there was going to be a new enemy, the Termites. Late in the MTDAA webcomics run, I started to bring Termites into the backstory, setting the stage for their eventual role as a major player. That time has come.I have wanted to do a mega-dungeon environment for a long time - and I've taken a few stabs at it. I had a concept for one, the Citadel of Tomorrow, for Sentinels of Echo City, but I've never gone beyond a few pages of notes and a list of ideas for it.
So, I'll give it one more try. Insect mounds are organic and (excepting hives) generally disorganized. I happened upon Kevin Campbell's maps again via Dyson Logos' blog, and decided to try my hand at a level in his style. Going with the Greyhawk dungeons 'three different dungeons in one' approach, I have decided that the termite mound has three different chimneys, and three unique towers that all interconnect at points. I am working first with the least of these three, Tower C (which will get a cool name eventually). I'm going to be play testing some solo rules and some things for upcoming expansions while delving this mound.
I'm a big fan of the Dyson Logos maps. He's inspired several adventures just based on seeing one of his maps.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the Termite threat developed and the maps to go with it.
BTW, several months ago, I was working on a BRP (basic role playing) conversion of the Army Ants setting. I've used some version of the D100 game system for decades and it's easy to learn for newbies. I've also picked up a couple setting books for the Tiny D6 system and that seems like it would work well with the AA setting too. Of course, now there is Army Ants Twilight.
I started on a number of pregen characters using your art from the various RPG books. I used the character sheet from the River of Heaven RPG as a template. For example:
