Blackjack Heritage Campaign Overview

The Blackjack Heritage campaign follows the journeys of the Changeling Skyship Blackjack and her crew of adventurers. The campaign began when Niamhi Silversång inherited the title Baron and the family skyship, Blackjack, upon the death of her father. She summoned her group of close knit friends to be her crew.

Together they travel from the Zone and throughout the Sovranty of Lozar carrying a wide variety of cargo. They attempt to unlock the mystery of the skyship's origin and become embroiled in the re-emergence of the Six Lost Moons.

Theme & Mood

I'm running this campaign for a group of veteran players online. I knew one of them from work and joined their weeknight game. I was able to hit the ground running with them and ran a very complex campaign.

  • Political intrigue mixed with some Firefly
  • Do old gods fit in the new magitech world
  • Re-emergence of lost moons
  • Heavy roleplay mixed with bathroom humor
Goals & Inspiration

This campaign is also hitting high levels and endgame territory. They've ended up fighting the invasion of Infernal Forces after one of their own fell to the God of Lies.

  • Close out Mecha-Tiamat storyline.
  • Leave room for confrontation with Malfador on the Hidden Moon.
  • Start reigning in storylines
  • Plan a Bachelor/ette Party adventure for Lance/Nia
  • Plan a Double Wedding adventure
