Tharkold: The Coreman Legacy

System: Dark Conspiracy

Started: 3/1990

Several years back (early 90s), I put together an idea for a campaign after running a few strung together one-shots in Dark Conspiracy. It started with a couple of short adventures I threw together and then an adventure out of Challenge Magazine #62, Kafka (which now can be found on Dr. Michael C. LaBossiere’s web site http://www.opifexphoenix.com/).

The THEME to the campaign was corruption and there are things even worse then the known Dark Minions. Tharkold was a totally separate “Core” dimension that was breaking through and corrupting our own, including corrupting the Dark Minions that were already here. I was using examples of the corruption of what we hold sacred by the Dark world of America as a contrast to the further corruption the Brothers of Tharkold could bring.It was to be a journey across America to find and destroy the 7 Coreman Devices that would bring forth the Tharkold dimension. They would also face the 7 Brothers of Tharkold, creatures inspired by Tharkold sourcebooks (TORG RPG) and Hellraiser.I never got to finish the campaign because I simply could not continue with a certain couple of players. I got through to the second device and just had to stop. I was stringing along more of the Challenge Magazine adventures and linking them all to my central plot. Dr. Michael C. LaBossiere has several good adventures that I was able to work with.
