UVG Session 0 Play Report | "1,000 Camels" and Outfitting a UVG Caravan

A couple of days ago, I kicked off a much anticipated campaign of Luka Rejec's Ultraviolet Grasslands (UVG) with a session 0. I laid out the 5-foot-long Grand Long Map and postcards from UVG locations, and printed out sheets and packets from the UVG book so multiple players could review the glossary, languages, and gear. I also introduced players to Hakaba, my homebrew Adventure Hour! hack for UVG (rules one-pager here).

Here's a quick play report:

UVG Factions and Random Events

As I said the other day, I'm gearing up for a UVG campaign. I've just finished a write-up of Mausritter-style factions with resources and goals, along with a table of random events. This is inspired by this post on d66 Classless Kobolds :)

Hakaba - an Adventure Hour! Hack for Ultraviolet Grasslands

Hakaba v0

I finally finished reading every bit of UVG 2e! I'm putting it beside The Critique of Pure Reason at the top of my most difficult (and most beloved) books. It had me not only trying to picture strange scenes figured in a fundamentally different reality, but also working out how to present them at the table. It also sent me to the dictionary more often than any book I've ever read - beautiful prose!

I've invited a few friends to start up a UVG campaign - which I plan to record and share on YouTube. Looks like we'll be starting sometime in the next month or two :)

This is something I've long been looking forward to, and I've worked up a homebrew system (naturally) to play UVG. It's a mash up of Adventure Hour! - my go to system - and UVG. Here it is: (This system uses Adventure Hour!, Magitechnica, and UVG 2e. Page references are to UVG 2e, unless noted otherwise)
