OSR Commentary - The Ascendant Rpg, FASERIPopedia's Crom , & the Unofficial Marvel Superheroes Cannon Project's Marvelous Myths & Monsters volume 6 The Otherworld By Andrew Goldstein

 So let's pick it up with our current Ascendant rpg campaign & Ginger aka The Pink Fey & her PC's connection to the Marvel  Otherworld. here on the blog.  Going through my older campaign notes I noticed that there was mention of  FASERIPODIA's Crom supplement. 


So what is Crom?! Well it's FASERIPopedia game's Sword & Sorcery supplement mixed with a healthy dose of Saturday morning cartoons of the Lords of Light variety. 
Last time we talked about mixing in the Camelot rpg supplement for FASERIpodedia's into 
the Unofficial Marvel Superheroes Cannon Project's Marvelous Myths & Monsters volume 6 The Otherworld By Andrew Goldstein  as a part of the Ascendant campaign setting to back up the Pink Fey's origin.
Me being the terrorist dungeon master wants to fade back into our Crom notes for our Ascendant campaign. Crom has more of a Thundarr meets He Man meets Marvel Super Heroes rpg feel to it. 
Camelot in our game touches several legendary locations in England and Wales. These locations also overlap into the Sword and Sorcery post apocalypstic world. And there may be more going on here with other hero's origins in our campaign then at first meets the eye. 
Crom has a ton of interesting details and bylines within it that crosses into the gonzo post apocalyptic asthetic of classic Bronze age Marvel style comic books. Crom's world is deadly and more then a match for several of the knight style super heroes we had last campaign. 
There are several meet points within Crom and The Otherworld supplement. This folds in nicely for our campaigns and it's going to be matter of deciding how deeply we want to go into the gonzo.

OSR Commentary - The Ascendant Rpg, FASERIPopedia's Camelot, & the Unofficial Marvel Superheroes Cannon Project's Marvelous Myths & Monsters volume 6 The Otherworld By Andrew Goldstein

 In our current  Ascendant rpg campaign, the Pink Fey whose portrayed by Ginger one of our regular players has been going on about her PC's mysterious origins and her connection to the Otherworld. Well, thanks to the Unofficial Marvel Superheroes Cannon Project's Marvelous Myths & Monsters volume 6 The Otherworld By Andrew Goldstein  we've got our Otherworld adventure campaign setting location. The  Otherworld campaign setting goes entirely through the entire Marvel Celtic & English patheon with the comicbook mythologies, monsters, Fey, etc. 



The only issue is that the party doesn't currently have any 'real magic users' per say. Which has one of the other PC's thinking he might quest for Camelot?! Our Camelot changes each time it's visited due to it's strange Fey nature. And for this we've used FASERIPopedia's Camelot.  And there is a ton of good tools in  FASERIPopedia's Camelot for really filling out your version of Camelot. 


Camelot in our game touches several legendary locations in England and Wales. These locations provide an interdimensional focus for the forces of Camelot and the Celtic powers. Now comes the choices that I have to make on foes, adventure locations, side quests, etc. for our Ascendant rpg campaign. 
Marvel comicbook elements that I want to include: 
  1. Captain Britain and the Captain Britain corps because it was such an iconic Eighties comic book run in Excalibur.
  2. Morgan Le Fay because of the fact that she is such a great comic book villainess. 
  3. D&D cartoon crossover because the players have been angling for it. 
  4. New hero origins and callbacks to our WWII Marvel Super Heroes rpg campaign. 
  5. Our heroes beating up on a few Celtic monsters..  
  6. Sidequests and journeys into several loose campaign threads that need to be wrapped up from our WWII Marvel Super Heroes rpg.
