A few people have volunteered recently to assist me with the project that I'm working on to create a usable campaign for the Age of Legends/War of Power. I would love anybody's help that would like to contribute, and figured that I'd give everybody a heads up on what I have so far, and what I need.

First off, the link: Age of Legends

What I have so far (not all of which is up yet):
Character Classes: soldier, noble, wanderer, scoundrel, tech specialist, scout, initiate and a class for daishan aiel/ogier/nym that doesn't currently have a name
Prestiege Classes: (only one) Hegemon, see link for details
Feats: a few, namely for opertating jo-wings, sho-guns and shock-lances, though perhaps a few surprises
Weaves: a few
Timeline: A very base timeline from BoBA from the drilling of the bore to the end of the breaking of the world
Channeling: a channeling bloodline to deal with those who have small talents in channeling but are not Aes Sedai
Items: shocklances, glow rods, stasis boxes and more, if its been mentioned in the BoBA, I created it
Map: a really rough sketch of what I thought that continent of the Westlands might have looked like BEFORE, but I'm not cartographer

What I Need:
Skills - My idea for this is to update the skills from WoT Modern to reflect the AoL a bit more, probably using the D20 Future as a reference point
Backgrounds - Sa'Sara has offered to help me out here
Cities - there are tons of them from the BoBA, they need to get fleshed out somehow
Vehicles - jo-cars, sho-wings, hoverflies, jumpers
Encounters - we can always use more of these. what about one power creations that didn't survive?
Prestiege Classes - Amabassadors perhaps? jo-wing fighters?
One Power jobs - there are tons of them: restorers, those that controlled the weather, I could probably go on forever. How do we deal with them?
Nym - should they be able to be player characters? anybody want to do a write up?
One Power Research Rules - how would these work? I know this has been mentioned on the boards before...
One Power Creature Creation?

Honestly, its the AoL...use you imagination. Anything is possible. Space travel? Mirror worlds?

Well, for the Breaking and the War you'll want to look at Gamma World. And I think most of your adventures will take place during these two. Let's face it, Utopia is nice to live in, but it doesn't make much of a story.

I agree with you on the vehicles. That's what I have in mind, but with actually planning my game, I can only do so much at any point in time. basically, on my own I will do AoL stuff as I need it, or as the inspiration hits me. If somebody wants to take on the vehicles stuff, please do so.

Anything that you're interested in doing Niveus?

Basically, if somebody wants to do something, claim it now. if you change your mind, just let me know. That way I dont get thirty people all sending me maps or something.

e-mail to jenniless@gmail.com when you have a finished product, but I'd love to see things hashed out on the board beforehand, of course.

The accessibility of vehicles is uncertain. If you want my guess I'm going to say that civilians won't have access to them under normal circumstances. Why? Public transportation. You can get from city to city easily and you can easily travel within the city using bus services or a cab. Owning your own car would be an unnecessary waste of resources, just like it is today. Only hopefully by Utopia we'll have learned. Before the War it simply wouldn't enter their minds to be so wasteful, during the War all resources would be focussed on the war effort, and after the war....
In that event you'll want a feat for operation of these vehicles. Maybe like this:

Sho-car Operation
You can operate a Sho-car.
This feat allows the character not only to operate a sho-car, but also means that they understand the rules of the road. The character will be able to avoid accidents and correctly navigate the roads. They also probably have, or had, a license.
Without this feat the probability of a collision while driving a sho-car is increased by at least 30% even in light traffic.

ill do vehicles i guess both military and civilian


include some weaponary for the military weapons aswell as armour etc..

i will try to make a 1 or 2 vehicles a week but im busy with university and work sad.gif so it might be longer so by next friday i will try to have a few vehicles or at the very least a decent conversion guide


question on how to run vehicles in your Aol campaign did you want to have them powered by a channler directly or indirectly here are a few examples



option 1
large power wells (batteries) are used allowing vehicle operation by anyone not just channlers

option 2
everyone has the power to some degree and vehicles use 1 level 0 lv weave slot sacerfice to operate per day

option 3
one power grids set up to allow one powered items well on the grid for free but at a cost when not

all three can work together and would make far more sense

military vehicles would have power wells and can operate fully well off grids until well dries civilian vehicles would run off the grid but if a channler took them off the grid they could operate it with weave sacrifices

the power grid would allow for the convience of the one power like we have for electricity

since I mentioned a "power grid" here is a rough outline


One of the biggest break throughs of the age of legends was the "power grid" it allowed the masses to enjoy the benifits of the one power with out having to channel. Running everything from buses to central heating the powergrid allowed for the conviences that used to be reserved for the Aes Sedai alone. Giant ter'angreal designed to gather both sides of the source and pooling it were installed in every major city another ter'angreal immersed in the newly created well generates a constant level 0 weave slot that is sent out through a grid work of ter'angreal fibers connected to any number of task specific ter'angreal allowing them to function perpetually providing the entire grid is maintained.

I think I'll work up two systems if I can (so people have an alternative depending on how they want to do things) -- backgrounds (if I find enough stuff) and occupations divided into two groups (one that is all-purpose and one that can only be used during the War of Power)
if I haven't sent you the D20 Future SRD...I'll do so in a little while to let you mull over. There's a couple things that I think might be useful...

Niveus, I intend to have the vehicles run off of a ter'angreal type engine. So that the operator does not need to have access to the one power to run it. I figure that's pretty easily accomplished in the AoL. So I guess my answer would be power wells, although you may want to keep in mind that in the end, its still the one power.

Sa_Sara I have a copy of D20 Future, but thanks for offering. Unless you were offering it to Niveus, not me. Which now that I think about it, you probably were. unsure.gif

both of you actually...I'm not certain I have Niveus's contact info though...
We could all probably use a peek at it...some of it just doesn't work, but a few other things look very useful

r-kruger@shaw.ca

however I own all the books for modern its my favoruite setting oh yeah the web enhancment VRnet is now available on www.wizards.com how ever a srd version would rock too just ctrl f whatever:)


the power grid is still good for street lights and any other possible power using device that might be in a city

and why not treat the cars as electric vehicles when you plug them into the grid they "refill" the well.

Well, I'll try to work on encounters/creatures/constructs and maybe prestige classes.

I'm thinking of a technitian PrC maybe. Creature creation rules for creating constructs.

Great Cisco Li...

do you have the Revised Starwars Core Rule book, by any chance, or access to it? Basically, I'm using the StarWars Tech Specialist character class, with some adaption for the Age of Legends...I'll send you ove a copy of how I have it written out right now so you know what the base class is going to look like. Will probably help with the technition PC.

Sounds great! I cant wait to see what you come up with! biggrin.gif

Niveus....

I like your power grid idea. I think it explains things running off of the One Power very well, and why when things go sour during the War of Power and the breaking many of these good inventions didn't work anymore...as they power grid was shot.

Update...
Sa_Sara is doing a great job with the professions from d20 Modern, we'll try to get a list up here for your viewing and criticizing pleasure sometime in the next couple of days. I also want to get my Treebrother class up here as well.

for out of city usage of the Sho-wings and Jo-cars there are always the "standing flows" predirected lines of sadin/sadair that can be tapped by any ter-angreal (therby removing the need for any channeling) all you need to do is apply to your local Aes sedai for a access ring.

The military would have its own Aes Sedai attatched to all batallions who could service its Sho'cars and Jo'wings. Just my two cents on the matter.
