My wife was a great cleric. Adina was a powerful wizard. Vic was a noble knight and me, well, I was a scoundrel – I refused to be called a thief. Antarac had no proof behind the theft of the Inzul jewels.

This time, however, we had gotten in over our heads. We had entered the ruins of Uthrong beneath the spine of the world and had come face to face with a Lich. 

Given the effort it had taken Adina to counter the magical seal that had protected the opening to Uthrong, we probably should have known there was something very bad in there. In short order, we were dead.

The Lich, I presume, would have gone on to wreak havoc on the poor kingdom that Uthrong resided in. Being dead, that was no longer my concern…

In Elemental…however…

It would most definitely be your concern. Now you’re the sovereign of said empire and now you have a high level monster running around the world thanks to these “adventurers”.

In Beta 1, we introduce the occasional lone NPC named “hero” to test out the plumbing. In beta 2, they get “the treatment”. 

Champions in Elemental are not random. We define specific parties or individuals of champions with their own 100 character history, stats, and items.  If the player’s diplomatic ability is greater than their battle rating, you can recruit them (if we have time, we’ll allow other means to encourage them to join too like good old fashioned bribery).

Now it’s your turn…

Have you pre-ordered Elemental? If so, feel free to comment on this thread with some of your favorite RPG experiences whether that be D&D or Fantasy Hero (my personal favorite) or something else entirely along with the name of your group, the name of the characters and a little bit about them.  We, in turn, will try to fit as many of them into the game.

We’ll want to know what types of quests you guys went on. What sorts of trouble you caused or what great things your party did. Of course, once you’re running a kingdom, these pesky adventurers may be looked at in a whole new way.
