Hearty Hail and Well met!



 Welcome to our gaming world of Barra. Created initially toward the end of 1988 using the 1st edition AD&D rules this game has seen several editions and other systems, like Castles and Crusades, to facilitate building the experience.  The game has taken various groups to the far north seas on a small island of small kingdoms called Skagin, to the far east of Mu Asia where there are secret societies fighting among themselves to see who will hold pre-eminence  and as well as fighting the oppressive ruling body of this great continent.  They have travelled to a small kingdom called Anglund which was recovering from a war with a neighbouring kingdom.  They have adventured on Thix, another continent (where the original colonists of Skagin came from) to the wild Werris continent becoming involved in a centuries old war against the Orcs and there allies versus the Elves and various surviving human nations.  During all these travels the groups have encounter high magic, ancient artefacts, dangerous magics and mysterious items as well as groups that would seem to be themselves from a future time.  The ancient Orroculi group, the Star Farers, the Elysium, the Shek Hong, they have met mythic beings from far history, the immortal Brah, Tyrys an ancient  Ent who serves with the Warrior Eternal at the Chronomantic Pool on another vast continent Rangar and creatures of incredible evil - the Sheol, Devyls, Daemons and Societies of Vampires. They have played in various time periods from 'current day' Barra to 400 years in the future, 10,000 years in the past, over 140,000 years beyond that.  A lot of fun and story has been created and shared with the almost 50 players involved

.  So now we delve back into Skagin's history to explore another unsettled time, some 1500 years past.  The story that hopefully will end up on this blog.  So until then...Game On!
