Treasure Tables is on hiatus as of December 13th, 2007 -- after two years of daily posts, I needed a break. If you're looking for GMing material, I have two recommendations: the hundreds of posts in TT's archives, and my new project, the multi-author GMing blog Gnome Stew. Happy GMing! -- Martin

Evil Overlords: Free Treasure Tables PDF

Mon. February 12, 2007 

We’ve just released the sixth free Treasure Tables PDF, Evil Overlords: Faction Players in Your Campaign.

This PDF collects World Powers and Big-Picture Plotlines, my post introducing the evil overlord concept, and The Care and Feeding of Evil Overlords, Tom Bisbee’s post detailing how he implemented that concept in his current campaign (with his permission — thanks, Tom!).

Heres the short version: If your campaign features power groups and events in the background, and those elements have an impact on the PCs (the foreground), why not recruit a few gamers to play the factions and world powers via email?

Combined with our Evil Overlord Recruitment Bureau forum, this PDF gives you everything you need to try out faction players in your own campaign — I hope you’ll give it a shot!

    Hey Martin. We just finished Game 5 and I hope to update you on how the Evil Overlords system works shortly. In a nutshell: It works very well!

    As soon as I’ve started my new job, I anticipate things settling down enough to write it up.

    Thanks!

    -Tom

    That’d be great, Tom. I wrote up my impressions over in the forums, and I’m very pleased with how it’s been working as well.

    Tom, I didn’t know that you were this famous…Infamous maybe…

    This is actually very exciting as I am a member of Tom’s game. So I promise not to look until after he squishes my character.

    Regards,
    Walt

    The Overlords is a way cool idea.

    I’m taking back the DM seat sometime later this year, and I’m considering recruiting one or two overlords when that happens.
