[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6999391, member: 20323"] Thanks for the great feedback! I love playing with folks who know what they want :) Quick summary of where everybody stands in respect to the 3 questions... [SECTION][B]1) Caravan[/B] Shayuri - detail, but wants rules support (and not in-character) Jago - DM handwaving Foxbytes - DM handwaving Thateous - interested in detail, but doesn’t see 5e supporting it VLAD - DM handwaving [B]2) Monster Lore[/B] Shayuri - knowledge checks Jago - passive knowledge checks Foxbytes - knowledge checks Thateous - trained knowledge checks VLAD - knowledge checks [B]3) High-Level Play[/B] Shayuri - political intrigue Jago - Sword and Sorcery magic and adventure Foxbytes - Sword and Sorcery magic and adventure Thateous - political intrigue VLAD - political intrigue / planar[/SECTION] Here's what I'm thinking... If anything I propose is very unappealing to anyone, please speak up and we'll figure out a way to make it work better... [B]1) Caravan.[/B] I'm mostly going to handwave planning the caravan / resource management (e.g. you don't need to think about tracking rations and water). All I'll need to know from you are the broadstrokes. Are you taking spare mounts? Are you going alone with just your party or with hirelings? Do you bother creating a "cover story" or are you very clearly a party of adventurers with two viziers of Tajar? [B]2) Monster Lore.[/B] It sounds like I'll be doing something similar to what I did with the current monster lore check, focusing on preserving your areas of specialty. Rather than anything hard-and-fast it'll be based on your character backstories, DM discernment, and skill checks. [B]3) High-Level Play.[/B] It sounds like you want to keep the focus on your party without getting into follower/stronghold stuff. You'd like for it to feel like Sword and Sorcery magic and adventure, not getting bogged down in details or tracking whose army or spies are where. At the same time, you'd like to explore the political intrigues specific to the Al-Qadim setting. [/QUOTE]
