System: Savage Worlds
Status: In development
Savage Future
- Main article: Savage Future
Adventures in the Dark Future of 1995. Players try to live the American Dream without any real hope of escaping the savage streets or the Great American Desert.
Inspiration: The old Dark Future novels. For urban adventures, neo-noir such as Sin City (comics and movie), 100 bullets (comic), Saints Row (console game). The first arc (perhaps named "Savage Streets") will probably be urban adventures in the NoGo of some unnamed city,
System: Savage Worlds

Concept
Agents of the Inquisition
- Main article: Agents of the Inquisition
The focus of the campaign is the retinue of an Inquisitor in the Imperium of Warhammer 40,000. One player character can be a junior Inquisitor. The campaign allows for a variety of character concepts. Abhumans and Xenos scum need not apply.
Rejoice! This is your opportunity to serve the Immortal God-Emperor of Mankind!
Gamemaster: Urban
System: Dark Heresy
Status: Rules and campaign material available, but lack of GM inspiration.[1]
Players: Familiarity with the setting is a plus.
All the King's Men
- Main article: Curse of the Crimson Throne
Sister campaign to Curse of the Crimson Throne. While the queen rules the city, the king fights to control the country. This would be the story of the professional soldiers he has as his personal army.
Gamemaster: Starfox
System: Action
Status: In development
Players: NOT The same group as Curse of the Crimson Throne; the campaigns might occasionally cross paths.
An Age of Darkness
The campaign will start in the Holy German Empire at Charlemange and continue until the fall of Constantinople. The player will assume the role of vassals (not necessarily nobles) to a Vampire lord. Some will be his childer, while other will be hostages exchanged with other Vampire Lord as part of a treaty, or others who have sworn allegience to him.
As the campaign progresses, characters will have the opportunity to gain power and prestige, perhaps in court, knightly orders, or the church.
Problems: Keeping the group together. A century or so of working together with smaller scale problems will hopefully establish a working relationship between the characters. Of course, this does not prevent rivalries or hatred.
Status: Concept.
Gamemaster: Urban Blom
Dragon Rising
15-20 years after the events in Purple Dragon the young king, Azoun V, decides to realize a bold plan of expansion.
System: D&D 3.5
Gamemaster: Panzerman
Ecclesia
A campaign in modern day world where the catholic church send out its agents, the players.
Status: Concept.
Gamemaster: TexaS
Hive of the Dead
- Main article: Hive of the Dead
Gang war and zombie horror in the Underhive of Necromunda. One or two of the survivors may be recruited by the Inqusition for the Agents of the Inquisition campaign. Of course, this assumed that there are survivors... Life in the Underhive is nasty, brutish and short. Players should be prepared to play several characters during the campaign.
If a majority of the players can agree on a gang, one of them will play a gang leader of slightly higher level. This is intended as a test of the party dynamics for the Agents campaign. The term gang is fairly broad. It is perfectly feasible to play a group of bounty hunters, miners of enforcers. All characters do not have to belong to the same gang. Group rivalries can make for interesting roleplaying as the group must put their differences aside and defend the settlement against a horde of zombies, or perhaps make the trek through the Underhive to safety.
This can be a short playtest of the Dark Heresy role, or a longer gang-based campaign.
System: Dark Heresy
Gamemaster: Urban
Status: Rules and campaign material available, but lack of GM inspiration.[1]
Players: Familiarity with the setting is a plus.
Into That Darkness
Sci-fi campaign in the far(ther) future of the Xyberpunk universe. The gates mentioned in Xyberspace reset after a few hundread year. The solar system braces for invasion by the Aliens but nothing happens! It seems the earth-gate now leads somewhere else. An armed exploration ship sets out to see what's going on.
Gamemaster: Panzerman
Martian Twilight
Science-Fantasy-campaign on a mars that never was in the spirit of Leigh Bracket. Add a touch of Geston for good measure. Possibly a very very distant connection to the Xyberpunk-world in a murky, mythical past...
Gamemaster: Panzerman
Mars Needs Women
- Main article: Mars Needs Women
Space explorers find the ultimate treasure -- women!
System: Star Wars Saga Edition or d20 Modern.
Status: Idea. Unlikely to get player acceptance.
Gamemaster: Markus
Mars Gets Monsters
The reverse of Mars Needs Women — instead of playing space explorers that collect women like Pokémon, the players are women kidnapped by those aliens. Women that just happen to be vampires, werewolves, mages, demons, and other supernaturals. Can they work together against the alien menace? Can they subvert the aliens in time to prevent the destruction of the Earth?
System: World of d20 or BESM.
Status: Idea.
Gamemaster: Markus
Mercenaries of the Moonsea
Remake of older campaign that died from inactivity. Possibly to be combined with Dragon Rising (below).
Characters are mercenaries slogging through the lands around the Moonsea and nearby regions, killing and dying for gold.
System: D&D 3.5
Gamemaster: Panzerman
Old World Order
Stock campaign for WFRP second edition. Setting is the Empire after the Storm of Chaos.
Status: Books, scenarios available.
Gamemaster: Urban Blom
SLA Operatives
The players are SLA operatives ("Slops" to the civilians of Mort). The campaign will use standard BPN mission assignment, but there will be a lot of focus on the operatives themselves as they struggle with the SLA bureaucracy, media and sponsors.
System: Toss-up between original rules and Savage Worlds.
Gamemaster: Urban Blom
Thunder on the Tundra - Demons of Anauroch
Barbarians in the Anauroch Tundra clashing with demonolators.
Forgotten Realms campaign taking into account events of previous campaigns.
System: D&D 3.5

To Fight the Devil
Was Church and State.
Campaign idea that could fit a variety of systems. Players are agents of the Holy See fighting mainly supernatural dangers as operators, warrior nuns, and magic priests.
Inspirational material: Warrior nun Areala, John Carpenter's Vampires, Anathem by Neal Stephenson.
System: Pending. Candidates include Eclipse Phase, MAGE, Shadowrun 4E, Aberrant, Aberrant d20, Mutants and Masterminds.
Status: Concept.
Start Date: Pending. I keep coming back to the idea, so I guess it will happen sooner of later.
