Angry Goblin-Hating Posse (0-level funnel idea)


This is from 19:06 19 Feb'19 in my little OSR notebook
I just had an idea for a 0-level funnel a la DCC RPG. I'd maybe do GLOG, since it's easy, but DCC seems just as fun. DCC RPG has a lot more rules, and fairly strange and confusing ones, too.
Anyway, in this funnel, the 0-level heroes are a band of heroes who will boldly venture into the goblin lair. The goblins have repeatedly raided the village. The village is part of a crumbling empire and they've gotten no response. Townsmen have banded together to go to the lair and slay them themselves. The players will each have a small group and altogether represent this dour posse. After the dungeon, the survivors will represent the level 1 PCs.
After that, the PCs will go on to do probably adventuring and settling (AKA Dark Dungeons shit) on the frontier-land of the decaying empire. Probably they'll go to wizard school or whatever to gain their 1st level templates and assemble again in town ready to go on new adventures.
Probably the goblins attacks and almost killed a child. That was the last straw, so the posse out for goblin blood.
You should also mark the date whenever you write by hand.
