Intro
Welcome to this first DL6 Stop the Spread – DireLands Adventure Actual Play! My name is Adam and I will be your storyteller. DireLands is a dark fantasy, system agnostic campaign setting I created. DL6 is the stripped down game system I designed specifically for DireLands. It features a basic roll-high on 3d6 mechanic with an innovative trauma system where trauma or damage you receive actually lowers your chances of success in the game, forcing you to consider your actions.
We will be introducing the players to the setting and system in this first episode, and as it is the first time I have ever run a game in DL6, we will inevitably break it, and correct it on the fly. So we appreciate your patience. Today’s adventure is set in the nation of Caelia, where the adventurers have been forced to travel across the steep, southern Carst Range, known to be Locaston’s territory. They are answering the call of the Kahutehe tribe’s chief, Fire-Fist, each party member having their own reason to answer the call. (describe reasons). They met up on the road, having come from different locations, but know that traveling alone in these DireLands is a death sentence, or worse, you may be caught and tortured as a spy by Locaston’s forces, or even sold into slavery, a practice this Kahuetehe tribe is known for, in addition to being cannibals!
But first they have to get out of these dangerous mountains and this storm cloud-covered night is only the most recent of hazards they have faced. We join the players at their camp.
About DireLands Fantasy Campaign Setting
DireLands is a system agnostic, dark fantasy tabletop roleplaying campaign setting. It was created by Adam P. Campbell in 2024. DireLands is set in a land that is in the final century of an ice age that saw the rise of the Witch-Queen who subjugated the three realms’ populations and cast out the demi-human races. The Triumvirate rose in the last century and liberated two of the three nations, but after their victory, they have become corrupt themselves.
