[Deep Carbon Observatory] 4-5 session arc?

!!! گولڈ کی وادی میں عذاب

Doom Comes to the Valley of Gold!

[A trailer video! https://www.youtube.com/embed/icVt30uiagw]

(the video runs haltingly on my memory-starved laptop; hopefully you won't have that problem; yes the sound is supposed to be effed up)

Deep Carbon Observatory nominally set in Yoon-Suin, the Purple Lands (loosely inspired by Northern India and Nepal, though I confess the adventure is pretty self-contained and that stuff likely won't show up). Briefly: an ancient dam breaks, throwing a small river valley into apocalyptic ruin, and exposing treasures long thought buried with their vile subterranean makers. Rules would likely be AD&D 2e, stripped of almost all optional rules so that it plays pretty close to BX. Pre-Gens of approximately Levels 5-6 will be provided.

I'd figure this would last 4-5 sessions. Ideally we'd have a consistent group plus/minus one person or so. Any interest?

I will express non-committal interest depending on dates and times.

Hey!

I would absolutely play this! I I have Yoon-Suin and was thinking about what to do with it. I saw it mentioned on G+ today and looked it up and was going to get it and offer to run it for a group I just joined that plays
DCC on Wednesdays at cranberry cafe on 45th st.

BUT, if you are going to run it, I would play (so long as it isn't on Tuesdays or Wednesdays).

Rattle big black bones
in the danger zone!
There's a rumblin' groan
down below.
There's a big dark town;
it's a place I've found:
there's a world going on
UNDERGROUND.

They're alive, they're awake
while the rest of the world is asleep!
Below the mine shaft roads
it will all unfold:
there's a world going on
UNDERGROUND.

All the roots hang down,
swing from town to town.
They are marching around
down under your boots.
All the trucks unload
beyond the gopher holes:
there's a world going on
UNDERGROUND.

Same here.

Three non-committal players is a quorum of quantum doom. Let me figure out what I'd need to do to finish prep, and I'll figure out some dates.
