This may only be tangentally related, so I apologize if this seems to threadjack. I started a 1st level game several months ago with my players in the Greyhawk setting. The Big Bad Evil Guy (behind the scenes) was looking for a component to complete an artifact that opened a rift between...

"Favourite intelligent plant" I was gonna say George Dubbleyuh, but there's that pesky 'intelligent' qualifier in there.

In good conscience, I can't sell you on it. There are parts of it that are cool, especially the intrigue and some of the nifty races, but it tries to shoehorn everything under the sun into a mish-mash of conflicting tropes and genres. Eberron just doesn't blow wind up my skirt.

(I can't believe I'm saying this, but...) I'm with him ^ on that one.

Awww, little undead Paizoes! How cuuuuuuuuuuute!

Touché!

Do editing/proofreading errors drive you mad, too? Yes, it makes me mad. I refuse to buy Mongoose products due to this issue. Even after they claimed to hire more proofreaders and editors, their books were rife with weird grammar, sentence structure, mis-spellings, etc. So I washed my hands...

Oh, and thank you - EVERYONE - for trying to help.

I edited the original post to help clarify this. "Steampunk" by definition indicates "advances in tech earlier or deviating from actual history." First, this isn't *actual* Europe, so I can change & mutate events as I see fit. Technically, my 'setting' was once Greyhawk--but Greyhawk...

"Who can illustrate an epic battle?" The Candyman can. Or so I've heard.

Midnight Syndicate has pretty atmospheric stuff too. (And by 'atmospheric' I mean 'spooky'.)

Do you seriously believe that France's, err, Dementlieu's govt won't manufacture more pistols? Yes, it will. Oh yes it will. Vive le Fracios!* MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA * it's been 15 years since I took Frech in high school, so pardon moi if that's incorrect

Yeah, but not as friendly merchants, lol.

I <3 you! Thanks, I'll see if that spin works. Actually, the idea of the Guild hunting them down will also work for me, after I considered it, and may be better for the players.

Long one shots...? Mini campaigns...? Somewhere in the middle, as I usually burn out before the players get past 5th level, lol

As I see it, the options are this: - The Dementlieu Guild covers up the gun sale by rubbing out the players--the players are the only 'wild card' in the situation, and if the players talk, the Guild takes the fall. If the players are 'removed' the Guild keeps the weapons and the conspiracy...

I'm just looking to do some brainstorming, as I've created the bare bones of a setting but I'm a new-ish DM and feel like I'm barely treading water in the middle of a stormy ocean. Setting: .ALT post-Renaissance Europe, specifically France. The Industrial Revolution is in it's infancy--foetal...

I feel mostly the same way. I'm no dummy, but I'm not THAT smart, and I actually think my players will find loopholes in my plots...or find them to wonky to follow. I'd prefer to create smaller, short-term plots that are maybe a little less Machiavellian but faster to resolve.

Yeah, there was a technomage splatbook.

Agreed, and Q'ed for T.
