Occupy Carcosa - Further Adventures On The Blasphemous Planet

On on isolated mountain plateau in the middle of an inaccessible mountain biosphere of Carcosa sits Mountain We'Rearura. This unique place sits between three of the most alien jungles ever seen & the place  is guarded by a unique set of geologic features   & are considered to be some of the oldest geological formations known, some dating back to two-billion years ago. The place itself is guarded by 3 hit point carnivorous plants & miniature dinosaurs. 

 The place is also home to a strange forbidden alien base with a ruined temple to some pagan alien god of unknown origin. The entire place is guarded by alien undead dwarves. They are capable of ripping a man in half with little issue or problem. 

 The Ruins Of We'Rearura

Underground is a different matter with huge hallways, store rooms, &  alien machinery. The entire operation is looked over by monstrous alien insecticidal creatures

The ruins are watched over by Occult tech gargoyles. Some of these may attack the unwary or the unaware.
The underworld of the Ruins of We'Rearura are twisting mazes of decay & depreciation. The full extent of these ruins is unknown. Strange minerals & such are mined here & sent off world via dimensional gates. Undead, ghouls, zombies, & far worse are found here. 

There are number of worlds, & Cthulhuian races who trade with these unknown masters of darkness & death. The Mi-Go, The Elder Things, & even the Yithians are known to trade with these beings for slaves, sorcery & worse. The long twisting hallways thread their way through the mountains & into places god was not meant to know. 

The mountain of  We'Rearura draw sorcerers like moths to a flame in search of the dwarves, the materials they mine, & the forbidden necromanctic technology they're masters wield with impunity. 

Care should be taken when entreating with these monsters from beyond the spheres of hell. The whine of their guardian spheres may be the last things your characters ever hear!

Mixing & Matching The Systems & Content of Carcosa 

Recently I was asked by Larry's group to develop a Carcosa campaign. Something different with a more 70s gonzo feel to it. Sort of akin to Star Wars on acid. I stumbled upon the addition to the Carcosian arsenal . Are some rules for using Jedi in Carcosa! 

You can find those right Here

Many thanks to Kesher over at the Original Dungeons & Dragons forums read about it right Here

S o after telling my friend Larry about this. He wants to play a Jedi along with his son as his partner/ appendice! 

The rest of the group isn't impressed by Jedi & wanted me to come up with a dungeon. I decided on something else from the 70s hence the Phantasm influence. 

They've been hearing me go on for a good month about Prometheus so the Aliens for now are on the back burner.
 I'm dusting off some of my West End Games Star Wars books as well as the D20 ones & looking at my old Marvel Star Wars Comics

I have a month to develop this campaign & in the meantime they can suffer in Transylvania. Meantime I'm going to be making massive use of Terminal Space, Swords & Wizardry, Planet Algol's resources, etc. 

Meanwhile some place else on Carcosa this is happening! Right Now!
