Steam and soot darken the skies above the city of Flint, and winds sweeping across its majestic harbor blow the choking products of industrial forges into the fey rainforests that dot its knife-toothed mountains. Since the earliest ages when the people of Risur founded this city, they feared the capricious beings that hid in those fog-shrouded peaks, but now as the march of progress and the demands of national defense turn Flint into a garden for artifice and technology, the old faiths and rituals that kept the lurkers of the woods at bay are being abandoned.

The Unseen Court, the Great Hunt, and the many spirits of the land long ago conquered by Risur’s kings no longer receive tribute, but they cannot enter these new cities of steam and steel to demand their tithe. The impoverished workers who huddle in factory slums fear monsters of a different breed, shadowy children of this new urban labyrinth. Even their modern religions have no defenses against these fiends.

Times are turning. The skyseers – Risurs folk prophets since their homeland’s birth – witness omens in the starry wheels of heaven, and they warn that a new age is nigh. But what they cannot foresee, hidden beyond the steam and soot of the night sky, is the face of this coming era, the spirit of the age. The zeitgeist.

In this campaign you are part of the Royal Homeland Constabulary (RHC) an organization which is designed to protect and serve the city of flint by order of the King, due to the nature of the campaign please only join if you are a fan of role playing and enjoy playing characters that have flaws as well as strengths, also as stated above this is a full 1-30 campaign so please only join if you feel that you can commit to that. During the course of the campaign you will partake in various investigations, espionage as well as possible assassinations and other spy/agent activities.

Woot! This will be a long running campaign! 30 levels by Text - awesome work! You might need to bump your post every couple of days as the text only posts sometimes slip down the page.

Hey Ruso, thank you for your interest, however sadly I cannot bump the start time to 8pm Eastern for a few reasons, sorry :(

With 5 players this campaign is now considered full, however if you are still interested in joining then please do not hesitate to let me know, as I may decide to increase the player pool to 6 or more players, and in the case where a player needs to drop out for whatever reason then I will contact those who have shown interest for replacement :)

Hey all, sadly due to unforeseen circumstances, I am in desperate need of a fifth player, preferably someone who would be happy playing either a Leader or Controller.

To re-iterate what is said on the first post, the campaign runs on Tuesdays at 7PM Eastern time and is text only. You should enjoy RP when joining this campaign, as though combat is relatively frequent, this campaign is predominantly RP based. The characters are currently level 5.

If you are interested, please shoot me a PM, or reply here :)

We have a really friendly group, myself and a few others in the group have been playing together in various campaigns for over 3 years now.

Are you open to people relatively newish to 4e? I have a basic grasp of how the game runs, but have only ever played from level 1-3 once.

Hey guys! Been a while since I posted in this thread. Figured I'd just post here instead of making a new thread. This campaign is still going strong, however we require a new addition to our team! If you are interested, please look at the first post for all the relevant information.

Quick overview - This campaign is on Tuesdays at 7pm Eastern time (6pm Central) and the characters are currently level 9. We are on the fourth module.

If you are interested, please PM me, or post below with your interest and I will get back to you ASAP.

Just to add - All of the group are very friendly, and very accommodating to new players to FG and 4e! So as long as you show a willingness to learn, you are more then welcome to join no matter what your experience!

EDIT: On second looking, I can't commit to this for as long as I'd like to. :(

Its a pretty fun game, but we could really use another person so I can quit playing two characters.... Im spending too much time talking to myself... and there's a giant Rabbit... oh, and cookies... and cowboys... and trains...

Basically its a ton of fun, and we need more people to share in said fun. :D
