Topic: Carcosa - Campaign Kick-Off Ideas
As I was thinking about what kind of starting adventure I would like run in my - yet upcoming - Carcosa campaign, I realized there is no real "base of operations" kind of place, partly because different coloured people distrust each other, partly because there are only small villages scattered throughout the landscape, trying to survive (merely living is hard enough on Carcosa).
The other thing I came to know is that Carcosa is more than a weird setting as there is no normal (normal in our IRL terms) part of it to create a normal-weird opposition but a completely different, alien place. As in planetic romance, it might be easier to introduce newcomers to the setting letting them play outsiders, who are new to this world themselves.
So, I came to the conclusion I should use one of the spacefaring OSR books to create the PCs, namely: Terminal Space, Stars Without Number or Humanspace Empires (I think I will use HE, with only human characters and maybe some other small changes).
What do you think? How would YOU start a Carcosa campaign?
