Heh heh, summon bigger fish... :p I'm happy for the PCs to sally forth and disrupt the attack, that could work just as well as a last stand at the castle itself. Thanks for the headsup, I'll have to plan out a surrounding area map just in case!

Thanks for the feedback, some very nice ideas in there! I'm thinking of a limited attack path, but not a moat- perhaps a hill or some such, with some steep, almost clifflike sides? I very much like the idea of the last bastion of defence- most probably the chapel, as suggested. I had indeed...

I forgot to mention that the village is some distance from the castle. I'm talking about half a day's ride? So it's just whoever is at the castle, basically. Also, I'm thinking a smaller castle, like a keep with a wall, and not too much more than that. The goblin numbers are undecided. I...

Hi all, I'm running a GURPS Fantasy campaign in my own game world which has a strong medieval and feudal feel to it. There is a scenario coming up which I have an idea for, but I'm not sure how to implement. First, a quick rundown of the situation: - The PCs have been installed as the...

Me personally? I'd read 50+, but I think I'm an abberation. When getting into a new campaign, I LOVE to immerse myself in the setting, learning and reading as much as I can. That way I can create a character that is connected to the world in many ways, rather than creating a character and then...

Great idea for a thread! My most memorable moment was from my longest running character in a Cyberpunk 2020 campaign. I'd played him for yeeeears, and as a fixer was not the most combat oriented character. In a crazy final encounter, he was facing off against a clone of the love of his life (a...

Thanks for the advice! I also posted this question on another forum, and Jurgen posted a reply there, hence why he's not said anything here. I have decided to go with GURPS, and I hope the players will like my decision (otherwise it may be rethink time! =P)

Hi, I am planning a new fantasy campaign soon with a bunch of friends. Originally I was thinking about running it in 4E D&D, but upon further reflection, I'm not so sure. There are a few reasons why, including (but not limited to): - Essentials & 4E, and all my confusion between the two - The...

Thanks for the vote of confidence jbear. That's how I plan on doing things for the most part, and hopefully steering things towards the Demon Prince plot. I've posted on several forums this exact same topic, and as a consequence I've come up with alternatives to the imprisonment. I really do...

Thanks for the headsup! Will look into that for sure...

Thanks for the comments everyone, please keep them coming! It seems that a fair number of people feel like my campaign is a railroad, or too much of a story. In response to this, I'd like to say that my campaign descriptions are large arcs in which many adventures will occur. But I find it...

In part 1, the players would be taking an active role in helping the populace- with local militia and knights called away, the people are turning to whoever they can to help them. I have the first adventure pretty much set up- they investigate the kidnapping of a town's children, tracking them...

Hi all, I'm after some comments, help and suggestions on an upcoming Dungeons & Dragons 4E campaign I'm about to run, and would really appreciate any and all help that can be rendered. This post is quite long, hopefully you can bear with me... A while back my regular gaming crew...
