Here is the information about the campaign, you don't have to come to Peterborough or London to take part and there are some great prizes to be won! Thanks to
@CaptainDangerous and
@spafe who helped me put this together. Any questions about it please shout them out in this thread.
MEGA DOME ONE: A SONG OF DICE & SPYRE
CAMPAIGN BACKGROUND
The great yak herd is on the move!
Mega Dome One was a sleepy kinda town until the yaks turned up, other than the regular kind of trouble, most days were filled with gas toxification and sludge mulching!
But along with the yaks came the Yakskins, an ancient tribe of native Necromundians, known throughout Ratskin lore as being an elusive nation of expert builders, painters and complete drunken loonatics!
After many months of fighting, the townsfolk observed the behaviours of the tribe and sent a distress vox to the clan lords of hive city! They mentioned that other than a good drink, the Yakskins lead their yaks to areas abundant with fungus! Which was the biggest conflict between the two peoples!
And so the Gangs arrived!
Some in search of wealth, some in search of fame, some for the fight and some for the profit!
Whatever their reasons, there is only so much fungus to go around, but the question is, who is strong enough to take it!
Whoever has the most spore caves at the end of the weekend will be given the title 'Dances with Yaks' and will be given imaginary headwear such as worn by the great Malo.
YAKDAY MISSION PARAMETERS
If you wish to compete in the Yakday campaign you need a new gang made to the below restrictions. Then let
@Llewy know, and he will invite your gang to the campaign.
You must record the starting Gang rating in the Gang notes. After the weekend you must update the gang notes with the amount of games played and the end Gang rating (make sure you leave the starting gang rating in there too!).
Update! : You must discount any hired guns from your gang rating at both points. So if you spend 985 credits on your gang, have 200 xp and hire a ratskin scout, your rating will only be 1185, not 1260 for the extra 75 of the ratskin scout. This stops anyone (unscrupulous or unintentionally) throwing their rating with a flood of hired guns (I only thought of this on the way home yesterday because I was considering doing a large scavy gang with 2-3 HG, and the ensuring rating jumps). Spafe
The gangs
You must field a new gang to compete for most successful gang of yakday.
Gangs can start with up to 1200 creds to spend, but can choose to start with less to try and gain an underdog bonus (any money over the initial 1000 creds cannot be saved in the stash if unspent).
Gangs can buy d6 exp for 10 creds using the money from the extra optional 200 creds, but not out of the starting 1000 cred. A max of 10d6 worth of exp can be bought.
Most successful gang of yakday!
The glitz, the glamour, this is the reason these budding leaders are taking part in such a violent action!
After the weekend, all the gangs in the campaign will have the difference between their starting rating and their end rating taken and divided by the amount of games they played. The title of most successful gang will go to the gang with the greatest difference. There will also be braggin rights for the most successful gang of the north, south, and rest of the world (see participation below).
Whoever wins the overall campaign will be named mayor/king/overlord of yakday 2017 and given an imaginary hat decided/designed/imagined by the best hatter in town, Spafe!
But I can't make it to yak day because it is happening too far away!
We have you covered! If you want to participate all you have to do is create a gang in the above way, get in the campaign, then play games over the same weekend (find another player, family member, creepy guy off the street to play against), then record your games in the same way.
All players are encouraged to record games on this campaign thread afterwards, pics, battle reports, tabloid articles and short stories are all encouraged.
Finally, if you wish to just show up to Yakday and play some games/share some laughs, the campaign is not the only way to play, and players are free to just play pickup games or games from existing campaigns, however they are by default not eligible for the title of Most successful gang!
