The Princes of the Universe Mark IV campaign is the latest in a series of campaigns, played over the course of a decade, which involve the players' real lives in the fate of the Realm, a magical world. Called to fight once more, the heroes must nip a rising evil in the bud, lest the world be lost. It's played by email using D&D 3.5e, with optional rules from Unearthed Arcana and other sources.

The Princes of the Universe Mark IV campaign is the latest iteration of a series of campaigns based on the intertwining of the player's real lives with the history of the Realm. This email-based campaign started in late 2004 and is still going--slowly. The players play heroic versions of themselves, fated heroes who contend with the forces of evil for the fate of the world.

An accompanying musical score guides and reflects each of the Princes of the Universe campaigns.

Ground Rules

Character Creation

Ability scores were generated using self-evaluation questionnaires, and modified and normalized based on a point-buy system so that equivalent ability scores were used. Character classes, using the gestalt optional rule, were assigned at the beginning of the game, as was the Clone Construct template.

Synopsis

In 2005, Presto summoned Wes, Jeremy and Geoff from the mundane plane to battle a rising evil originating with the Unspeakable, son of Tiamat and the Dragonmaster. Presto was destroyed shortly thereafter, and the trio found themselves in new bodies of [[Clone Construct][manufactured flesh]]. After acquainting themselves with the Realm and their new capabilities at [[Floating Island][Merlin's Floating Island]], and meeting their unicorn steeds Lady Unifelle, Chandara and Shedoa, they proceeded to Kadish, where they suspected they might meet Robert, previously identified to them as an ally.

Shortly after their arrival, posing as "Doctor Weird's Traveling Sideshow," the party got [[Rose Hearth Inn][lodgings]] and acquainted themselves with the situation in Kadish. They found the city to be dominated by monks of the Order of the Silken Glove, and also found that Robert was master of the city. Their preparations were interrupted by an attack on the city by Warduke, who summoned the Legion of Heroes to lay waste to Kadish. With the aid of the city's regular defenders, monks of the Silken Glove and a band of thieves with suspicious military training, the Legion was destroyed and Warduke defeated.

At the ensuing Royal Banquet, Queen Ayisha arrived to bring to the party a message from Eulogos, master of the Oasis of No Return, charging them to make for the deep desert to arrive at the Oasis for the conjunction of the Realm's moons. They fight a pitched battle with a warband of lamiae, and later that day they find the oasis, where Eulogos explains that the Forbidden Tower has lost its great Keeper, leaving the powerful Keeping Stone unprotected; but even with the most powerful monsters gone, the heroes will need the power of the Talismans of the Races.
