Ascension of Duran: Dissension

Post by Whiplash! »

I thought this would never be made. I though I was done.

Things happen, people change, situations come about that put people off course and change their tracks in life. Sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.

Withdrawing from the Campaign Creation contest due to major illness left me with a bitterness in me that can only be fixed by one thing. Making a campaign and finishing what I stared. With Starcraft 2's release being pushed to 2010 I feel like I will have ample time to finish a campaign before SC2, or even the SC2 beta hits.

Picking up where the last campaign left off, Duran has been instructed by his mysterious masters to downsize his army of Protoss, Zerg, and Terran and slip away from all the commotion he has recently caused. Although Duran is a very powerful force, dissension has arose in his ranks. Xereus has broke free of Duran's control and is leading a rebellion against him. Captain Quetz has grown disillusioned with Duran's experiments on the hybrids and wishes to leave Duran and reunite with Jim Raynor's forces. With the second Overmind's recent destruction on char almost all Zerg have directly diverted over to Kerrigan's control, leaving Duran with nothing but a small force of Zerg under his command. Time is running out for Duran, can he successfully complete his experiments or will he face annihilation by the races he once controlled?

Bit of both. I plan on reusing some of the unfinished content from my old campaign, so I have some nice stuff to pull from.

Unfinished content?  Dark Purposes had a pretty solid story, imo. :)

I'm definitely looking forward to this, but I have to play Dark Purposes first. Did you read DTS: Twilight? That book tells you a bit more about Duran's hybrids if you wanted to incorperate your own spin on that in it. Well, you might have already...... I'll go play Dark Purposes now.  ;)

Yes I did read it, which certainly puts Duran as a much more enigmatic character. I will try to explain this in a way to the reader in the campaign if possible.
