I’d be curious to hear what your homebrew looks like. I would love to incorporate it if possible. Cortex Prime has rules for mobs of npcs the players can mow through.

I did a prequel session with pre-built characters during the yellow turban rebellion and they were tasked with preventing a yellow turban garrison from reinforcing the last turban city which was besieged.

They ended up blasting their way into the besieged city instead and just ending the siege. They had a great time.

So we’ve done a ten year time skip and the players are assuming control of a fictional city/province after the previous ruler died at Hulao Pass. The coalition against Dong Zhuo has splintered and it’s every warlord for themselves.

The company rules from Reign allow them to run a city and interact with other leaders of the era and set their own missions in order to survive the era of chaos.
