Kraken's Ghost wrote: | For three months, ever since a solar eclipse dyed the sky red and black, the lands of the Shinobi Continent had been in turmoil. Not blatant turmoil that would hint at an outright problem, but rather a more insidious, vague hint of a threat that seemed to permeate the air all across the Shinobi Countries. Man and beast alike were on edge. Fights broke out in the villages over situations that would otherwise be ignored or laughed off. Hospitals across the Continent had been flooded by countless injuries, many critical and often having been caused by a close friend to the patient. Formerly docile animals would now snap or panic at the sight of any human. Mutilated carcasses of wildlife were not an uncommon sight for travelers and people had quickly learned that even a casual trip from one village to another in friendly territory was fatal unless it was in a group.
Streets became silent and deserted before the sun fully set. Children weren?t allowed out to play at all and soon the schools eventually had to close due to virtually no attendance. Disappearances abroad had increased, even amongst fully trained shinobi, though the survivors of the Third Great Shinobi Wars were sadly used to this. Disappearances at home, however, was quite new. It was one thing to not hear from a Chuunin who?d gone out after a rogue Missing-nin into hostile or borderland territory. It was entirely different when an ANBU team got divided on a routine patrol that circuited the Village at a distance of no more than five hundred yards and only one of the ANBU made it back. Watch duty had become dangerous during the day and nigh suicidal at night. No one went out at night and the few that did were always skilled shinobi. Even they made sure they traveled in groups of at least three.
Fear was everywhere. People became suspicious of foreigners, then strangers on the street, then their neighbors, then the Kages, and finally of their own family. Everyone suspected everyone else of some wrong doing. Everywhere people went, it was as though something was watching their every move. Watching them, not the person next to them, them specifically. Even shinobi felt like it, but not even they could divine the source of this tension. It was like killing intent was welling up from the very ground, leaving every man, woman, and child feeling as though thousands of razors were moving at lightning speed just a millimeter from their skin.
The world was in turmoil, society was being strained, the presiding government was being questioned, man was turning on his fellow man, and no one knew why.
Not a month had passed since the eclipse by this time... |
What is Return to Darkness, you ask? It's Naruto: d20's official campaign model, offering a new and original campaign opportunity in a way not unlike Shadow Chasers or Urban Arcana.
Return to Darkness is tengu, kappa, oni and other terrible creatures threading in the world of humans, seeking to expand their territories with their brutal, horrible ways. It's 2 new classes, 5 new demonic races and subtype, 2 new classes, a plethora of new techniques and demon spells, Aquelarre, and more!
Return to Darkness is stories from Kraken's Ghosts, demons from the bowel of the earth, feudal japan and Frankto's twisted mind. It is more than just a project. It's a thrilling new Naruto: d20 experience!

Nice...
That's a good sounding idea. Now, are the jutsu for thise campaign model (A.K.A. Cannot be used by humans) going to be with the mainstream jutsu, or will they have their own jutsu section? Maybe even own book? |

The techniques will be used by humans and not demons, as demon have their own ways to use Chakra. They do not employ it in the ways human do.
That is... most, don't. The techniques will have their own section in the campaign model, which will be both a standalone book and figure in the mainfile for convenience's sake. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

Okay, a couple more questions I have...
For these new races, assuming they have special qualties, are you going to make templates for half-breeds, or sealed ones (Jinchuuriki)?
Another question I have, is since I know the demons have a class system, are you going to explain the changes if one class advances to another hierarchy of the demonic ranks? |

I don't think it'd be necessary to add a Jinchuuriki template for each of the demons, but I might consider it. There won't be rules for half breed.
As for the changes, yes, I will explain them. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

When you say 'Kraken's ghost' you wouldn't happen to mean the Foxhound fiction writer, would you? |

Of course I mean him. The one and only Kraken's Ghost. That was just a teaser for the story. The real thing will be bigger. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

Ok. And, about the new classes.. Will they be 2 or 4? Because I sort of lost it when I checked it.. |

Just for curiosity Frankto, did you get any inspiration for this on the Anime/Manga Berserk (The Eclipse and Demon stuff)? |

You didn't saw it? I thought I was the only wearing glasses here
Yeah, I'd love when this setting come to reality. But I remember Frankto just 'meh'-ing my 'how is your setting going?' question. Sad _________________ Oden! Guide our ships, our axes, spears and swords! Guide us through storms that whip and in brutal war!

*whistles innocently*
Meiou Template, Tons of campaign unique Youton, Haradou added to the main file from the campaign....
I'd have to say most of the progress on this campaign setting hath come from making stuff for my campaign on requests.
No holy arrows though. Frankto hates bows. |

Then why is there a feat to make drawing a bow faster?
O well, we here can come up with a holy shuriken, or maybe there already is one that I missed? |

Haradou - Hakutou makes holy throwing daggers. Close enough, personally.
Kyuudo, the feat, was only made to shut the masses begging for archery stuff up. Frankto then threatened tons of stuff if you defy that rule.... on another note, I like bows, but don't use them that often. |

Bows are nice, but they're not exactly a ninja tool :p. Well, not a naruto ninja tool, in any case... _________________ Oy, this is going to be troublesome *sigh* |

Between "somewhat done" and "nearly done". I'll give a progress report when I feel a progress report is due. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

It isn't abandoned (I don't think so given last time I asked is just above and Frankto said it's somewhat done), but it is not fully done either. |

This is the kind of thing that makes Frankto delay the next update until Christmas '08 at the earliest. I predict that Frankto will inflict a punishment on you so horrifying and cruel that they'll name it after you. It will be worse than being hung, drawn and quartered, burned alive and being mauled to death by rabid NaruSasu fangirls COMBINED. Times a billion. |
