LFG Thread . New Players welcome, by Crom! System / Setting: modiphius’ 2d20 Conan In An Age Undreamed Of
Adventure Series: As the title implicitly states, exploring the life of a
brigand living in and around the steppes between Khauran, Turan and the
Vilayet Sea is the story.
Tone: Gory Gritty Pulp, with visceral detail.
We will be exploring the lives of player characters who are brigands in all of their gory glory.
You are all members of the KOZAKI:
Of all the brigands west of the Vilayet, none are as well-known or
feared as the kozaki. A relatively new appearance tainting the political
winds of Ahgrapur, the kozaki are known as wastrels, from whence comes
their name. They share no blood but rather circumstance. Deserters,
murderers, thieves, former slaves, and all manner of other scum comprise
the ranks of the kozaki. They follow no flag nor a single leader, but
are arrayed across desert and steppe in small bands.
They strike with the ferocity of desperation and the cruelty of rogues
forged on the savage anvil of the earth. They retreat as quickly as they
attack and are notoriously hard to pursue. The kozaki know their
limitations, though their greed sometimes overreaches their ability.
Still, they are rarely foolhardy in the targets they select, and, to
date, have not banded under a single hetman.
Like the Hyrkanian nomads, the kozaki are quick to move and always
mounted. They sleep in tents which are collapsible and easily moved. Few
kozaki bands live in an area for very long. They sell their goods
through fences in varying towns or through the less scrupulous traders
with whom they forge alliances. For an enterprising merchant, it is a
great bargain to buy kozaki loot rather than fall victim to them as
their caravan marches across kozaki territory. Of course, merchants who
bargain with the kozaki may find themselves betrayed, for these dogs
have little in the way of honor and live only by the law of the blade.
