A bit more information on The Iron Kingdoms Full Metal
Fantasy This is the setting for the world of Caen. This is a steam punkish type of world where
magic and mechanics mixed together has produced trains, and constructs used in
battles by the nations of western Immoren (the location of the Campaign). Flintlock Pistols and rifles are available
and creatures unheard of in the standard realms of Dungeons and Dragon are
present. Some of the standard races are not available in western
Immoren/Caen. You will not find any
gnomes or halflings, nor half-orcs or half-elves. While there are elves, two types, the Ios and
the Nyss which don’t really care much for each other, and dwarves the setting
has a few other player races available.
Here you can find gobbers (goblins) and bogrin (a more savage and larger
goblin) which are a bit different than goblins elsewhere. There are also ogrun which are somewhat like
orcs though they are larger, and trollkin which are a fantastic race related to
the trolls of Caen, although they are intelligent and are able to live among
the human races. Speaking of humans, this setting has many ethnicities of
humans and players can take advantage of ability adjustments as well as other
specifics each ethnicity brings to the table. If you ever played any wargames, there is a game called
Warmachines (and another called Hordes) which was created off the RPG and has
had much success. I can’t explain all of
what western Immoren has to offer here but I can say that it has been around
for some time and even now has a new 5e book, though they change up the setting
a bit from 3.5e to 5e versions. No matter what world setting I use my desire is to run a
mature 18+ game where players join together to form a party with mutual
interest to gain experience and make a difference in their lives and possibly
the world about them. The game would be
rp (role-play heavy as I mentioned previously), but will also have plenty of
chances for combat and action as well.
Players may also add to the campaign by information they provide in
their background and possible actions taken within the world. The campaign starting location on Caen will be likely within
the nation of Cygnar, with the PCs starting out knowing each other or at least
one other pc. Players will have to come
up with how the PCs know each other and this can be as detailed as the players
desire to make.
I still can’t state a time or day yet, but as that will
depend on the overall common available/open days and times that players will be
able to play.
