This is something I'm currently doing, and while some may find it dumb or cheesy, I like it. So, I thought I'd share it. My idea is to find a poem. In my own case, I chose To Lucasta, Going to the Wars by Richard Lovelace. From this very short poem, I took a few phrases. My main campaign is called 'To War and Arms'. The world is called 'Shalador'. I am currently running a short campaign set 700 years before the events in TWAA called 'The First Foe'. The epilogue campaign will be clerics and paladins only, and will be entitled 'With a Stronger Faith'. Here's the poem:
To Lucasta, Going to the Wars
By Richard Lovelace
Tell me not (Sweet) I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind
To war and arms I fly.
True, a new mistress now I chase,
The first foe in the field;
And with a stronger faith embrace
A sword, a horse, a shield.
Yet this inconstancy is such
As you too shall adore;
I could not love thee (Dear) so much,
Lov’d I not Honour more.
Why? First of all, it sounds cool, and I assure you Richard Lovelace has a greater facility with the English language than I. But, second, should they come across this (fantastic) poem at any point in their lives, I have preloaded it with a few Easter eggs for them to enjoy.
Minor idea, but thar she blows.
