    Fiction Writer's Thread

    Hello. Just thought I'd join the thread given the topic. I've self-published two novels and a collection of short writing. I won a literary award for my second novel, A Greater Monster--received a Gold Medal as Outstanding Book of the Year in the Independent Publisher Book Awards the year that I...

    D&D General How to approach hostility (in the background) between in-world countries caused by players?

    Oooh, i like number 7. One of the players is a Wood Elf from one of the two countries. His adoptive mother could have been kidnapped by a Kobold war party. Cue the rescue mission.

    D&D General How to approach hostility (in the background) between in-world countries caused by players?

    These all make sense, I'm struggling a bit figuring out how to get them involved in this without being just "telling them" about this. Right now, they are in a 3rd country. I could at least inform them some of this is happening because they are about to have a conversation with the royal family...

    D&D General How to approach hostility (in the background) between in-world countries caused by players?

    Oooh, that's hilarious. "Could I suggest that you also de-stabilize the Dwarven alliance with the Orc nation...?"

    D&D General How to approach hostility (in the background) between in-world countries caused by players?

    Haha! That's a great idea! They do have a growing reputation, mostly positive. I love the idea of smacking their character's egos just a little bit with a reminder that they have inflamed aggression between countries. I guess that's what happens when you steal the Royal Wizard's spell book...

    D&D General How to approach hostility (in the background) between in-world countries caused by players?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I think in this case, it's likely to go a different direction because one of the nations is also involved in some nefarious doings while they other isn't. But you've sparked an interesting idea...if this detente does happen in the future, and by that point, if the PCs...

    D&D General How to approach hostility (in the background) between in-world countries caused by players?

    These are great ideas! Thank you. And yes, my world is very cosmopolitan so while nations tend to be primarily populated by one species or another, there are diverse significant populations across species, and there is no racial enmity or racism in my world.

    Whoops. I've tried to clarify in the title now. It's a bit convoluted to summarize...

    D&D General How to approach hostility (in the background) between in-world countries caused by players?

    So the players in one of my campaigns in my homebrew world kind of...accidentally started hostility between a Kobold nation and a Wood Elf nation. Whoops! It's not to the level out outright war, like massed troops, it's primarily diplomatic hostility however I'm envisioning that some skirmishes...

    Since I see them in my Feedly, I would have to click through to report each one, and that takes too much time. Plus, I don’t want to actually land on those posts. It’s bad enough seeing the Titles.

    Yeah, I saw a couple this morning in my feed. They are like roaches, these spambots.

    Or you could restrict someone to have to post only comments for a given period before they can start a new thread. That’s a common type of restriction. And they have to post a certain number of comments too before they can start one.

    If it makes you feel any better, I don’t think they are after you, they are after your passwords.

    I haven't seen any of the spambot attacks in two days so hopefully they have finally been squashed.
