After reading about Jervis Johnson's Dark Conspiracy in White Dwarf 205 I decided that I could go one step further by creating a campaign based on the plot of the Dark Conspiracy.

The campaign would follow the efforts of the Lizardmen, helped by their allies the Orcs & Goblins, in recovering the stolen scared plates from the Bretonnian hamlet of Lourdon.

I decided that the best way for me to create the campaign was to write it in such a way that the results of one battle would decide which armies fought in the next battle. The best way to do this was to make a flow-chart diagram with all the battles with regards to certain armies winning and losing their battles. The result was a fairly complicated tree of battles that could be followed as the players progressed through their games.

While the massed Lizardmen armies were being sent to the main centers of the Old World to raid the larger cities Lord Kukulkan of Xitaclan sent a small force of Skinks and Saurus' to attack the hamlet of Lourdon which lay in a quiet corner of Bretonnia, near the Grey Mountains, which was reputed to hold a large number of the sacred plates that had been stolen from the temples all those years ago.

Lord Kukulkan's used his powers of mind control to command the weak minded Orcs & Goblins in the vicinity of Lourdon to assist the Lizardmen by attacking Lourdon itself and then, after removing all the sacred plates, to meet the Lizardmen and transfer the plates into their possession.

So, as the stone circle began to shimmer and changed places with it's counterpart in Bretonnia, the Lizardmen strode forth to begin their task of retrieval...
