What is a Living Campaign to us?: To the staff at Knowledge Arcana a living campaign is a world that we are sharing with the readers and fans of our magazine. Through the quarterly magazine we will provide chapters of the story arc allowing readers of the magazine to play in the same world. With each new chapter of the story the campaign world will change shape and the readers can adapt these changes to their current campaigns. The story arcs for the magazine will not be written by just members of the staff. In order to make this campaign come to life we are going to allow the players to submit their adventure results to us which may change the story arc's next chapter. In a democratic fashion the world and story will change based on the votes of the players. Readers may also submit villains, story lines, or any other form of content to change the story line.
The Campaigns: There is currently one living campaing taking place. The start of the adventure is in Issue 13 of Knowledge Arcana and the second chapter spans the entirety of Issue 14. The current campaign starts in a small country called Domer'el that was founded by a powerful wizard. Unfortunately for the region an outcast dragon with three heads desires to enslave all of mankind. And even though the wizards had fought the dragon and imprisoned it into a small phylactery, the dragon continues to manipulate their world. There are currently two other living campaigns that will be released, Cauldian, which is scheduled to debut in Issue 15 of Knowledge Arcana, and the Vinnoc'i Empire. As campaign building progresses we will work towards writing campaign guides. Right now everything is pretty locked tight in the Laboratory until release date.
Getting involved: We are making it really easy to get involved in our living campaigns. Knowledge Arcana will be used as an outlet to provide the current story line including any changes that may have occured. On the Knowledge Arcana page we will provide polls for readers to vote on their outcomes. Players may also submit thir designs via the , or by joining the page and sending one of the staff members an email. You can also use the Contact Us page. Another way to get involved is to just play in those settings or adapt the content to fit yours. By playing a character in the setting your campaign story can run along side our campaign story. Adapting the content to fir your current campaing wiorld will work just the same and we will accept the results with no prejudice. |
