A question to all you GMs;
Have any of you tried a forbidden lands funnel in the beginning of a campaign?
I like the concept of a funnel and it should fit pretty nicely in with the dark and gritty theme of forbidden lands.

Elaborate.

Yes we have. I wrote a funnel into the Drakborgen kickstarter forbidden lands module.

However. It kind of goes against the Core of the game.

The only way to so a funnel properly is to say for example that the village has a problem with a monster and that a dozen villagers are villing to fight it. Who ever comes out alive will be the players characters.

But... it's not made for that game style at all tho.

//edit: the game is a hexcrawl and that is an important aspect of the game. So the funnel might be strange. I can share how I made one later if you want

I am definitely interested! I can kind of get backgrounds for a funnel with help of the "legends and adventures" compendium but a fully fleshed out, level 0 adventure is awsome.

Konungr; A funnel is a part of character creation with the help of a dungeon. Every player make a couple of weaklings and the group gets whittled down to maybe one character each which then becomes the PC:s.
+ The group have a great origin story to look back on and the gm has something to draw inspiration from
+ Players get a variety in both characters and in classes, maybe gets something they don't usually play

- The players may not be able to play the one creation they thought was cool because it died in the funnel

Just a quick reply. There are no levels in FL. Level 0 is not a concept as adventurers from start are quite strong.

ofc, I don't know why I said level 0
