As planned, this is a guided “sandbox” style mini-campaign that will initially be run from a short published adventure from Pinnacle’s Traveler’s Tales in order for the PCs to come together as a group and for the players to establish their characters’ identities and goals. The setting for this series of adventures lies during and just after the restoration of the monarchy following the English Civil War, when the authority of King Charles II is not yet settled, and conspiracies abound. Our story begins in in the south of England in the approximate year of 1660, though peradventure the PCs may travel by sea to the colony of Virginia on behalf of a strange fraternity known as the Royal Society to investigate “an unnatural phenomenon” associated with the long-vanished colony of Roanoke. The motivations for taking the voyage will depend largely on the players’ individual visions of their characters. Also, in true sandbox fashion, there will be opportunities to pursue side-adventures as they arise in play.
