[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Every generation a group of heroes would heed the call of prophecy of the time.  Sometimes two or three would come true, but they would be dealt with and those became legends.  Then twelve hit at once and the heroes couldn't keep up.  Fortunately, all the world ending events interfered with each other and the entire world wasn't destroyed, only civilization.

You have just arrived in a ramshackle town.  Indicate Age, Gender, Class, and Race.  Starting equipment will rolled for.

harvest the water from their bodies.

Or they could be annoying do-gooders fighting to stop said warlord, if you want to go with tired old cliches...

I guess it's probably best to watch the movie first.
Or just loosely base the game off a few vague points.

Put up something generic for now.  Keep ideas for the setting and equipment coming.  Only limitations for selection is to keep the race humanoid and human sized.
