Farmer plows over a dungeon entrance, is devoured by monster.<br /><br />2. Farmer plows over dungeon entrance, is soon possessed by ancient, freshly-released evil, makes his way to the big city.<br /><br />3. Farmer enters dungeon, emerges with ancient artifact which he takes home to his farmhouse. Entire area becomes epicenter of unearthly Color Out of Space awfulness.<br /><br />4. Farmer gets hammered on scrumpy at local tavern, flaps his jaw to anyone who'll listen about the weird hole in the earth he found the other day, and how he brought back a gold coin as big across as his fist. Area soon overrun with vile murderhobos on the make.<br /><br />5. Farmer makes a drawing of the strange symbols he found on the door to the dungeon entrance, and shows it to the local priest. The priest is a secret M-U and is into all kinds of weird, horrible shit. Farmer and his family inexplicably disappear soon after, to be replaced by new tenants -- the M-U's cultist pals.<br /><br />6. Farmer's meddling releases a horde of slumbering/captive monsters who track farmer back to his village and begin systematically laying waste to the countryside<br /><br />and so on...Jeremy Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155761802144571888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786088692697066600.post-6143019482555825852012-03-14T23:43:00.679-04:002012-03-14T23:43:00.679-04:00Hopefully by next week.

I started on The World Between setting back in high school...but now only a few place-names remain; everything else is vastly different. <br /><br />Also, will your dilettante get both the fighter's increasing attack bonus and the magic-users spell progression?
