[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9314273, member: 27385"] I made a basic campaign a few years ago based in the Town of Leilon in FR. Since it was abandoned I placed a Inn/trader's post outside the town as a home base and just ran missions into the town each week. There may have been some rumors of places to go and possible treasure, but each module was a bit like a 5-room dungeon or just 3-5 encounters that we could finish in a night. There was some other stuff in and around town like wandering monsters or other adventuring groups that could help or hurt the PCs. One of my favorite parts was the Innkeeper's wife asking for all sorts of stuff like a shopping trip. "While you boys are out adventuring, I need a bread oven/copper kettle/clawfoot tub." It got to the point that the party was looking in other buildings for things and expanding on their own. I even placed two tubs outside the rival party's headquarters overlooking the bay like in those advertisements. One of the things I am doing in my current campaign is to give a quest to the players. I recently gave them a place in town as a free house, partly to keep them in town to finish the published adventure I am running. I made some quest cards to see if anyone want to look for stuff. Here is an example for the wizard/necromancer. [ATTACH type="full" width="435px"]357188[/ATTACH] Now the player has something they want to explore and do. They can build out the basement in their house as a shop and find a henchman to get the bonus after or before they find the item. The reward of all this is the 2 extra HD to zombies and such is not a big deal when they are around 9th level once they get all this. If it goes over, I'll make more for an expanded shop and 10 followers and such. [/QUOTE]
