Genes Campaign Precis
Scenario-a set of adventures for the P.C.s within a campaign

world, created by the G.M. Scenarios can last one session
or many sessions.
Session-one meeting of players, lasting anywhere between
hours and days.
INTRODUCTION
Why Role-Play?
Newly-met companions become fast friends and
encounter wondrous peoplesBold adventurers join wits to
explore spectacular worlds, using strange powers and
amazing devicesHeroes and heroines realize their destinies
while solving complex intrigues and confronting chilling
evil
This is why I role-play. Not only can we escape the

mundane world and enjoy socializing, but we can also
stimulate our imaginations and even learn about
ourselves and others through gaming.
I have been role-playing since my first Lego castle
and formally gaming since late 1982. I have played and
Game Mastered in over 30 campaigns and dozens of
worlds. My voluminous files contain maps, journals,
and statistics of hundreds of other peoples characters,
and each is part of an interesting tale. Our adventures
are just beginning!
Terminology
For novices, and so that we have a common frame
of reference, heres how I understand the following
words:
Campaign-the combination of a particular adventure setting
and a group of characters over a specific period of time.
A campaign world exists in the G.M.s notes and players
imaginations, and may continue through different groups
of players and characters.
Game Master (G.M.)-often the creator of a particular set of
campaigns, he or she is responsible for devising,
describing, and running scenarios for the P.C.s. In
AD&D2, the term is Dungeon Master (D.M.).
Non-Player Characters (N.P.C.s)-the G.M.s extras, they
provide a variety of fictional individuals for the P.C.s to
meet, befriend, or fight.
Party-the group or team of P.C.s that travel through a
campaign universe and interacts with the G.M.s
scenarios. Player groups also are often described as
parties, but groups common to several campaigns should
be described as a player pool.
Player Characters (P.C.)-the imaginary persona created by
each role-player who adventures within a given
campaign. P.C.s usually work together and are quantified
and described on Character Record Sheets. P.C.s
backgrounds and (mis)adventures often are recorded in
journal form.
Role-Playing-the activity of pretending to be someone else,
for entertainment or training purposes. Role-playing
games may be of any genre (Fantasy, Science Fiction, et
cetera), and are related to, but different from, board, card,
computer, and war games.
Rules System-the statistical and storytelling architecture of
most games. They often require rolling of dice for
random results of skill use and combat. I generally prefer
AD&D2 and GURPS because most of my players know
them and because they fit my campaigns.

For Player Characters

1. Step onecreate a diversion! When in doubt in a tactical
situation, distract your opponents.
2. Most Player Characters start out with little knowledge of the
campaign setting. Curiosity and an open mind motivate
most travelers.
3. Nothing happens unless the Game Master is aware of it.
P.C.s only sense through dialogue and the G.M.s
descriptions.
4. P.C.s are not aware of and should not discuss attributes,
Alignment/Ethics, or combat statistics. They should keep
track of where theyve been and whom theyve met.
5. P.C.s are never motivated to gain more points. Greed is
common, but most adventurers seek acceptance into the
ranks of experienced heroes.
6. Unless the party is certain of others intentions, it is wise to
ask first and fight later. Even soldiers avoid combat and
mystics prefer study to fighting.
7. There is always someone bigger or stronger than you.
8. Parties should choose a name and a nominal leader.
Standard operating procedures (S.O.P.s) make routine
tasks quicker.
9. Rational debate is good, but most personality conflicts
arent.
10. Do not test the will of the gods.
Sourcebooks
Scheduling
I generally prefer biweekly meetings of about six
hours each plus a meal. Depending on the size and
interest of the group, weekend sessions can be
supplemented by solo adventures, one-shot scenarios,
and play by e-mail. I also encourage rotating hosting
duties.

AD&D2 VANISHED LANDS

Settings
Genre: high fantasy
Summary In one ancient world, strange majicks
and demihuman races thrived in a region of Central Asia
known as the VANISHED LANDS. Mythical creatures
and warring creatures tested the areas inhabitants, as
travelers strove to become adventurers, and adventurers
strove to become heroes
The 1 million square miles of the lost continent
were named the VANISHED LANDS because of a
prophecy/legend about their disappearance at the dawn
of recorded history.
Bamor Mountains/Therud Forest-kingdoms of Gokuri
(Bakemono, Oni, and Nannuattan) and Zedu (Korubokuru and
Spirit Folk)
Halmed Desert-Ebir Sheikdom and Garku Nasit (Suthern
humans, Djinn, and Rakshasa)
Ivory Mountains-Zeda (Dwarves and Gnomes) and Zuromm
(Drow and Orcs) kingdoms
Sea of Nagendwa/Zarendo Islands-Salhonif Island (humans and
Sea Peoples)
Plains of Sathendo-kingdoms of Hifalendor (Hifalendorin
humans and Centaurs) and Saganim (Saganim humans and
Pernicon), Gusorin Confederation (Barbari humans and
Wolven), Principality of Silado (Tong Sheng; Asiatic
humans, Hengeyokai, and Shan Sao)
Wisalef Forest-Waletku Kingdom (Elves and Halflings)
History
The VANISHED LANDS is my oldest setting.
While over 300 Player Characters have explored the
strongholds and wilderness, much remains to be
discovered

Game Time
c. 1982 B.C.E.-Ruulok slower-than-light generation ship
crashes, marooning crew and slaves on ancient Earth. The
Chaldean city of Ur is sacked, ending the first true human
urban settlement. Minoan Crete flourishes.
c. 1950-Extraterrestrial genetic engineers modify castawaus to
be more humanoid and to be able to eat Terran food.
Certain subspecies escape and become the folk of myth.
page 4
Extradimensional visitors are known as gods or

demons. Alien livestock become the monsters of
legend. Hittites sack the city of Babylon.
c. 1900-The peoples described above settle on the plain of
five rivers, in what is known later as Central Asia.
Following the example of indigenous humans, each race
forms several kingdoms. While the demihumans have
longer life spans, Arcane Arts, and advanced technology
(including steel during the Terran Bronze Age), a gradual
decline of these abilities sets due to genetic drift and
isolation from galactic society. The cultures of the new
nations adapt to exile and become involved with local
politics, as the survivors forget their origins. Sumer falls
to the Amorites and Indus River valley civilizations grow
at Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro (not far from the
VANISHED LANDS).
1500 to 1465-Player Character parties A through E explore
around the city-state of Nadwi and the Gusorin
Confederation [also John F. and Reinaldo C., Jr.s Deathquest
I]. Aryans invade India, beginning of New Kingdom
period in Egypt, and bronze casting in China.
1345 to 1260-Parties F through H hunt for artifacts.
Phoenicians begin trade with the VANISHED LANDS.
c. 1300-Volcanic island of Thera explodes off of Crete,
destroying the civilization of Atlantis. Refugees come to
the kingdom of Hifalendor.
1286 to 1100-The Golden Age of the VANISHED LANDS.
1259 to 1241-The adventures of Aldarion and Thalissa [John
Z.G.s AD&D2 Greyhawk], parties I through K. The Iron
Age begins and Moses and Joshua lead the Hebrews out
of Egypt.
1244 to 1240-The adventures of Faelonia during the Six
Kingdoms War, parties L through P [also Bill A.R.s
AD&D2 Oriental Adventures: Kara Tur and Dexter V.H.s
AD&D2 Dragonlance/Palladium Fantasy Land of Lost
Souls].
1238 to 1236-Parties Q through U go on many quests,

culminating in the selection of the Champions of the
Elder Gods. [Also Stuart C.G.s version.]
1235 to 1233-Parties V through X encounter Dragons and
Giants. The Paragon secures Memir/Morbaltek before
reuniting to fight the dreaded Flying Citadel
1232-game present
1226 to 1205-Arlon and A and B Teams [John Z.G.s AD&D2
Greyhawk]. Doric invasions of Greece (Hellas).
c. 1150-Short peace in all of the VANISHED LANDS. The
Trojan war; Chou dynasty in China.
c. 636-Wars break out all over the region, as kingdoms are
toppled by natural disasters. In keeping with prophecy,
the lands vanish, demihumans die off or go into hiding,
and the human inhabitants disperse. The shape of the
known worlds changes as heroes and their homes are
forgotten...
c. 700 B.C.E. to 700 A.D./C.E.-The great religions are founded.

I generally prefer AD&D2 Player Characters to
begin at First Level with no experience points. That
way, they earn their knowledge of the world and other
skills. P.C.s joining an existing party must be one level
below the lowest previous member. I also encourage
players to choose different types from each other, and
recommend single-classed P.C.s because of the variety
of options. Many classes and subclasses/kits are
available:
Warrior-Barbarian, Bushi, Fighter, Kensai, and Ranger
Knight-Cavalier, Paladin, and Samurai
Priest-Cleric, Druid, Sjukenja, and Sohei

Game Time
Circa -140 to -40 G.E. (Terran Galactic Era)-The Archaic Era gives
way to the Cyberpunk era [see SHADOWRUN below]: Small,
idealistic metahuman groups are supplanted by more common
Cyborg mercenary organizations. Near humans granted some
civil rights.
-The development of bionics, Virtual Reality, and true neural
interfaces results in the growth of cyberware and C-space. True
Artificial Intelligences arise and advances in genetic engineering
lead to Andies and Synths. Secret orders of Mystics
consolidate through the hidden war.
-Wars result in the devastation of large parts of the Middle East and
South Asia; terrorists destroy cities in other parts of the world.
Nation-states decline in relative power as megacorporations and
regional governments rise in influence; the United Nations
collapses.
-EcoCrises I and IIenvironmental degradation from human
activities results in global climate change, mass extinction, and
famine. Fossil fuel reserves begin to be depleted, eventually
page 12
leading to technological breakthroughs in cold fusion and

warm superconductivity; aerodynes begin to replace
conventional aircraft.
-Terran population reaches 15 billion, cities become megalopoli.
Earths oceans and the Moon are colonized, L-5 orbital cities
begin to be constructed in response to population and industrial
pressures, and humans explore Mars.
-100 G.E. Laransu is devastated by a Zarkonian attack. First
interplanetary wars in the Sol system win partial independence
for Lunar, Martian colonies. The Kharvamid Alliance is founded
by Trinoids, Nethians, and a few Laransans.
-100 to -50 G.E.-EcoCrisis III, regional conflicts, and megacorporate
covert activities are restrained with the creation of the United
Earth Authority.
-Continent-states arise on Earth; the Sol systems population
approaches 20 billion. L-5 orbital cities grow, Mars is
colonized.
-85 G.E.-First Interplanetary War: Lunar Free State rebells against
Terran colonial powers, becoming a quasi-independent corporate
state.
-75 G.E.-Ecoterrorists disrupt research undersea and on Mars as
terraforming begins. The outer Sol system is explored by
humans, Venus is colonized.
-50 G.E. Synths gain limited rights after several rounds of civil unrest.
-30 G.E.-Second Interplanetary War: Mars Confederation rebels
against megacorporations, gains limited independence and a seat
on the United Earth Council.
-20 G.E. Jason Delmar is born near the North Eastern

American Megalopolis.
-10 G.E. Covert and unofficial contact between Galactic
agents and the Sol system. The Zarkonian Armada
resumes its expansion into the Orion Arm. The latest
wave of interstellar civilizations is immediately
threatened: Aquarians/Polarians and Terrans.
-4 G.E. Archaeologists discover ancient evidence of mystic
and extraterrestrial influence in the ruins of the Vanished
Lands. The United Ecumenical Movement is formed to
consider the implications.
-3 G.E. The end of the Long Hiding: true mystic powers are
revived by the U.E.M.
1 to 3 May 1 G.E. (circa 2194 A.D./C.E.) Trump Island Run: A
party of specialists and mercenaries is recruited in Lisbon to
retrieve a computer core from a mysterious enclave of attenuated
near humans in the North Eastern American Megalopolis.

from the computer core, the group purchases an old warehouse
in the Newark section of the N.E.A.M. as a base of operations.
The team reports, trains, and buys equipment.
9 to 11 June 1 G.E. Submarine Piracy: On the way to an
archaeological dig in Central Asia, the group and civilians
aboard a transport submarine are briefly taken captive by the
naval forces of Greater China. They ingeniously manage to
escape.
12 to 21 June 1 G.E. The VANISHED LANDS: The party races rival
expeditions and avoids ancient perils while exploring the 4,000
year-old subterranean ruins of the city of Hesolin. In the
meantime, open and official First Contact is announced
between the Sol system and galactic societies.

22 June to 23 August 1 G.E. Guardians of the Night: Upon
returning to its base, the party is contacted by a metahuman
vigilante group and municipal inspectors.
