WFRP, and color me intrigued.

>>5107759
>>5107766
I am now so incredibly aroused.

>>5107766
Would you recommend first or second edition of that?

>>5107787
Glad to see approval for the idea!

>>5107766
I would play it in WHFRP in a heartbeat.

looking for players, OP?

>>5107759
I ran Boatmurdered D&D campaign once.
Players first saw big field of bazalt with occasional iron items sticking out of it.
Then they found huge doors - clogged with bazalt.
They entered through side doors - one near the passage with traps. Most of the traps weren't functioning by that time.
Then they found a starving dog in a room filled with stench of decay (I used screenshot from late Boatmurdered - there was miasma in the room).
After that they got to the main corridor. They saw creepy engravings ("Tentacle demon laughs at dwarf. Dwarf is in fetal position.") and fought dwarf zombie/ghost/thing (houseruled, not much of a threat).
They got to "FUCK THE WORLD" lever, which they didn't pull. Then they fought some goblins, undead Sankis the Beardless and finally an elephant, which kicked main gate open.

>>5107819
I was planning this for some friends of mine, but if /tg/ loves the idea (and it looks like that's the case), I'd definitely consider running it online as well.

Needs tree hugging, cannibalistic, elves.

>>5107828

Boatmurdered is a surprisingly good D&D dungeon, especially since its all mapped out for the DM's convenience.

all good except for one thing.

A whole generation that's never seen the sun? Hello sunlight sickness!

>>5107856
Possibly more than one generation. Although one dwarven generation still would be a long amount of time for things to happen outside.

A suggestion: Boatmurdered shouldn't be the one that's safe. It should be a different one. Nist Akath, perhaps.

FUCK YES BOATMURDERED, YOU ARE THE MOST FUCKED UP FANTASY SETTING EVER.

>>5107841
How would they survive? Trees don't.

>>5107856
Sunlight sickness kicks in only a second after seeing the sun and then sporadically after that.
It can be cured.
The dwarves also could have some glass ceilings or even open air "rooms" to prevent cave adaptation.

You know, a magma apocalypse takes a much shorter time to "get better" than a nuclear one.

>>5107886
It's not a setting. And, to my knowledge, only the Unified Setting has it as canonically extant.

>>5107902
Even if it covered the entire world?

>>5107919
This is /tg/. EVERYTHING is a setting for us. Like your bedroom.

Because the floor is now lava.

>>5107939
FUCK I HAVE TO MAKE IT TO THE STAIRS
WISH ME LUCK GENTLEMEN.

>>5107895

Trees can live in lava, actually.

>>5107879
OP here. There will be a number of dwarf forts that close their doors before the incoming magma pours in. There may be some other races that survive, either by living really high up or having some other manner of survival (there are a few I can think of). The players will probably come from a different fortress, but Boatmurdered will be the one that ends the world.

>>5107934
yes. It has more surface area the bigger the area of landmass it covers.

>>5107949
irl or in dorfort?

>>5107965
Of course, Boatmurdered should end the world. Though, depending on what your players know, you may want to look up what its name is in DF language. I was just saying that Boatmurdered shouldn't be safe. It would also be a bad place to start from, due to the kind of shit that's in there.

This thread is supported because of it's potential awesomeness.

Proceed.

Make your players find some masterwork cat bone armor.

This shit is awesome. Best thread I've read on /tg/ all day.
Stress the legends of Boatmurdered, and explain how long the fort has been around. It is the center piece of a cycle of destruction....

and if the party doesn't pull the lever...... someone else will...

>>5108037
>>Stress the legends of Boatmurdered, and explain how long the fort has been around. It is the center piece of a cycle of destruction....
>>and if the party doesn't pull the lever...... someone else will...

This gives me a very Fallout-feel. I like it.

>>center piece of a cycle of destruction
Fuck yes.

Give your players The classes in Dwarf fortress?
SUper DWarvenly tough? Carpenter, stone hauler and....milker?

>>5108104
If they're adventurers, more like Axedwarf, Hammerdwarf, Wrestler, Marksdwarf, etc.

It is rumored that before Boat murdered doors were shut... 2 cats were left inside

>>5108133
Oh shi-

>>5108133
>>5108037
>>5108016
OP here. Liking all of these ideas.

Again wondering if /tg/ recommends the first or second edition of WFRP.

>>5108282
Motherfucker! you better let them go into rage and add a new feature. FEY MOOD.

>>5108309

Well yeah, of course.

>>5108282
I don't know either, but my advice is that, all other things equal, the most recent edition is usually the best.

>>5108133
Dreadcatclaws....

Housecats evolved to the size of trolls, with razor sharp talons and hides as thick as chainmail.

>>5108431
/tg/ continues to impress.

>>5108431
>>5108431
A sprawling scary cat based ecosystem evolves!

Undead Sankis the Beardless, on fire, riding a dire elephant.

You must have this.

>>5108606
That's evil. I like it!

>>5108606

That's Emperor Sankis to you.

>>5108606
Make it a dire skeletal elephant.

>>5107987

Koganusan.

>>5108486
I'm picturing something like maine coon cats. They are very large.

Has anyone used Boatmurdered as a dungeon in D&D4e?

I mean, it's all laid out in a logical manner in a grid

D&D is played on a grid...

I mean, imagine describing to your players, as they walk into a hallway, the images of striking elephants and burning dogs engraved into the dust covered walls...

>>5107759

I have been looking for a way to run an all dwarf game in DnD, and this is just the seed I need. Everyone will be a dwarf, of the fighter/rogue/barbarian/ranger/paladin type, in a low magic setting. I am just gonna have a ball. I will crack open DF and make a couple dungeons with it. Yah, they will take a while, but after I use 'em I can enlarge 'em and change it a bit for a new map. Ah love it!

>>5108685

And a cheese. Don't forget a cheese.

>>5108685
Someone has. RPGnet had a thread about it. Apparently it went pretty well.

>>5108703


Return to Boatmurdered, the 4e Campaign

anonymous, please create it

Speaking of 4E, I'm in an online game and we just ran into some wights that DRAIN A HEALING SURGE WHENEVER THEY HIT YOU, JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK, IT'S LIKE I'M PLAYING 2E D:

>>5108723

No. OP here, I'm going to try out WHFRP for it, or barring that AD&D. I've tried 3e and 4e and like neither. Please don't turn this into edition wars, we have those threads all the time.

>>5108740

Hey. in 3.5 they take a level. Hit points, saves, feats, spells, they take the works man.

But I imagine either or is just as bad in either system.

>>5108759

ADnD with Dark Sun rules man. It would be perfect. Potion fruits! Plant Genocide mages!
But fuck the psionics. Hate that shit.

>>5108685
My DM ran us through Boatmurdered, used the Dwarf name.
It took me about 5 minutes before I knew where we were.

Requesting the map of Boatmurdered.

It seems so interesting that I might use it in my horror campaign.

>>5108829

Here: http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Boatmurdered/chapter1-2.html

Continue through the chapters, and you have the whole thing from start to finish.

>>5108842
Thanks, this is awesome.
I don't know why I haven't tried this Dwarf Fortress before.

What was the dwarven name for Boatmurdered again?

>>5108887
>>5108671

>>5108759

WFRP is the way to go. It's one of the few systems that covers everything from the mundane to the heroically glorious without being clunky as hell.

Maybe after the magma cooled, as the dwarves hunkered down in their fortresses, the undead Emperor Sankis the Beardless took his army of skeletal dire elephants on a crusade of conquest against the decimated populations of the world. His crazed self now intends to turn the entire world undead, with himself as the undying leader of the undying populace. Brightly burning for all eternity.

And all the while, his skeletal elephants maintain a gestapo-style watch over the populace.

where do the carps fit in

I love how everyone suggests for the OP to use WFRP, but nobody has answered his question about which edition to use.

>>5108988
Carp are a dwarf's natural enemy.

>>5108988

Carp make every river crossing exciting!

>>5108977

So Sankis is essentially the Enclave of the post-magma flood world?

>>5109108

No, more of the Master from FO1.

>>5109126

This is awesome.

>>5108929
Personally, I feel the mundane is more heroic in WHFRP than the heroic itself.

Something about saving a village with a bunch of streetbrawlers and drunks from beastmen that's incredibly heroic, even if three of your buddies died to typhus, and your girl just died giving birth to your child, and you can see giants rising up above the treetops and can hear a faint "WAAAAAAGH" in the distance.

It was pretty epic and emotional.

>>5108759
1st edition if you can get it.
WFRP would work wonders with DF because of the criticals tables.
Hell, If you could get ahold of them then use even more brutal critical tables.
Halarious fun.

Not to be captain obvious, but OP just took the intro to fallout 3 and made it epicly dwarfy

>>5109277
>>Not to be captain obvious, but OP just took the intro to fallout 3 and made it epicly dwarfy

>>tl;dr: Campaign to explore the world as dwarves, after dwarf-caused apocalypse of lava. Inspiration taken from Fallout, Boatmurdered, and /tg/.
>>Inspiration taken from Fallout

I think we were pretty clear on that, yeah.

>>5109250
Do you mean 1st edition WFRP is better than 2nd? Or are you recommending 1e D&D?

>>5109202
Yeah, I can see where you're coming from with this. There's something about the ordinary man rising up against all odds and fighting back, win or lose, because "fuck it, I'm not going to just lay down and die" that has a very melancholic ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER feel about it.

That was the whole point behind the whole "IMPERIAL GUARD; WE DIE STANDING." thing in Winter Assault, after all.

Cage traps.
Elephants.
Carp.
Magma.
FEY MOODS WITH SHELLS
BERSERK LEGENDARIES
HIDDEN FUN STUFF!!!!
!!BOOZE!!

>>5109696

YES.

THIS MAN GETS IT.

You have to make legendary weapons engraved with doodads and if anyone gets adamantium armor make them somewhat invincible.

Other than elephants and carp (and the dreadcatclaws), what should these dwarves encounter/fight? What's repopulated the wastelands?

>>5109907
Fire imps
Burning Lignite Bins
Insane crafters who demand shells

>>5109925
I was hoping for some suggestions beyond dwarf fortress--there's only so many enemies from there, and my players all play DF. I'd like at least a few new things to surprise them with.

Although insane crafters demanding shells sounds like a winner. When they get refused, they'll berserk.

I support this thread.

I thought about doing a post-Boatmurdered (Koganusan, I think it's called in dorf-nonsense).

Imagine a new settling of the Boatmurdered we have come to love and fear. Dwarf resettling the horrid chambers and halls of boatmurdered, trying to re-establish the glory of the early fortress. You know, the twelve seconds before everything turned into ELEPHANTS AND MAGMA.

Of course, the sheer spirit of Boatmurdered seeps out from the horrible engravings, and the screams of Sankis, the Lich Engraver, begin to emanate from caved-in corridors. After a few years, the new Boatmurdered is on edge, fearful and wrought with the guilt of what they may have resurrected.

The bright dreams of resurrecting one of the most famed fortresses in dwarven history has turned into a lovecraftian nightmare of screams, paranoia and ghost elephants trampling through the meeting halls, echoes of unholy trumpeting mixing with the insane whispers of the Master of the Place: The Unholy Sankis.

If done as RPG, the players could be representatives of the mountainhome, who arive to liase with the inhabitants of Koganusan. Expect to not live. And to hate Elephants.

Good spirits could be some of the other rulers of the first boatmurdered, but Sankis should either be the BBEG or at least someone the players can align with in order to flood the fortress with lava and release him from his eternal torment.

A torment that mostly consists of engraving images of his own failure.

An added NPC could be a mysterious dwarf female, who tuns out to be the last survivor of the first boatmurdered.

I've always gotten a little-sister morality pet vibe going on between the last living Dwarf of Boatmurdered and Emperor Sankis. As in, she's the only thing the mad lich cares for at all, and with violently and permanently destroy anyone who touches her.

>>5110394
>An added NPC could be a mysterious dwarf female, who tuns out to be the last survivor of the first boatmurdered.

Who would also be a fucking psycho. She was a child when she witnessed the end of Boatmurdered, and the single swordsdwarf who survived sane just left her there in the burning depths with a bunch of weapons and sadistic engravings.

If that's not enough to turn you into a hunter-in-the-dark, I don't know what is.

OH THAT DORF IS FA-LAMING!

>>5110574

Oh yes. I didn't say what she should be used for, but the horribly scarred meets repressed memories meets ALL HAIL SANKIS! NOW KILL! is a swell idea.

>>5110620
I was more thinking of the PC's occasionally hearing sweet nothings whispered to them in the dark, their torches/supplies being stolen, waking up to find the walls covered in bloody, inane messages, etc.

Eventually, they would find her, only a shadow of a dwarf, thin and strong and very sober. She would be a legendary wrestler from having to fend off the other horrors in the dark, and all she can think about is how best to "play" with her new toys.

>>5110394
What say Sankis is a lich then and his phylactery is the last engraving he did before The Burning came.

>>5110651
>thin
She would be a naked mass of tangled, dirty, bloody hair and huge muscles.

Also DON'T allow players to use any kind of projectile weapons. They penetrate anything.

>>5110865
Alternatively, allow everything to be used as projectile. If a player removes his shoe and sock and throws the sock at an elephant it should do max damage.
