GM: Bjoern-Erik Hartsfvang
System: DragonQuest, with modifications by Bjoern, hence, ”
A BjoernQuest© Campaign”
Years: 2009 – 2009

Due to many circumstances, this was a short-lived campaign, lasting only one or two sessions. Bjoern has recently indicated he hs an interest in returning to the world, although he may be updating it for GURPS, rather than keeping it set under DragonQuest.

The peoples who lived during this time knew neither war, nor disease, nor hunger; they built spectacular cities, that shone like crystal under the light of the Sun and the single Moon. They were masters of all the arts, all forms of craft and sciences, and even their children knew the greatest of magics. But then the Triumvirate came.
…
But then, just as it looked as if the Triumvirate’s victory had become total, the Gods Themselves intervened—in the form of the great comet known as the Hand of XAX.

And then the Hand of XAX struck the Homeworld, shattering it into thousands of pieces.

He could neither read or write, and so when a scribe took down his citizenship information on a form he … Continue reading →
