Welcome to Markshire

We have been playing, and developing this campaign world for over 20 years in Pen and Paper (PNP). I have reams of information about this campaign. We are also introducing some new concepts, to help populate this world. I never planned to create every Non-player Character (NPC) in every room of every building in every town, but now we are. FUN!

We have developed the forums to help you better understand Markshire and assist you in your role-playing efforts.

If you have a specific question regarding character development, please, contact me (Thrym), or post it to the forum. If there are questions regarding the scripted systems, please, contact me.

Before making a character please read the Player Character (PC) Races section of the forum. Half-orcs never existed before but we are using them now. Tolerance of half-breeds is high in this country but not everyone is tolerant. The Governor was a Half-Giant so it’s better than it could be. NOTE: Halflings are not Hobbits or Hin. They are Halflings here. The same goes for the other races.

All classes are available as well. Prestige Classes REQUIRE approval from the Dungeon Masters (DMs) before taking the first level. The character in question should be role-playing towards the prestige class they are considering. If you have fulfilled the requirements of the class and any of the DMs require then we will most likely approve it.

There are no restrictions to the spells available. There are no edits to the animations of any spells so things may lag from more graphic-intensive spells. DO NOT let that influence your decision to take those spells.

Starting equipment is exactly what the computer gives you when you arrive. The computer will also give you additional items on arrival (PC Objects, the “emote” device, and such). This means you might not have your preferred armor or weapon.

Above all, we hope you have FUN! So to help you with that I leave you with the campaign motto …

Some things in this world are tougher than you can handle. Run or DIE!

Random Merchant System

You walk into the city one day. You are prepped to buy. You need some crafting materials and your hood was removed by the local Guardsmen so you need a new one. As you enter the Common Market you see it is bustling with street vendors. They are hawking their wares all over the place. The conversations are deafening especially with the aqueduct running down the middle. With a bit of glee you dance amongst the crowd looking over the wondrous varieties of goods to be had.
