Message: <blockquote data-quote="ericpat" data-source="post: 3716143" data-attributes="member: 34156">I'm starting up a new game. The geography and history are based upon G.R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.Each of the characters will be a new recruit into the Night's Watch. I'm diverging from the books in a number of ways. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Women are allowed to join - There are female players and it's just easier.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">All D&D classes are allowed - Again, it's easier for me to just allow all classes.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Undead are frequently seen beyond the wall, but it's minor -- Skeletons/Zombies</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It take place several hundred years prior to the events in the books - Don't have to worry about continuity with the books.</li> </ul>I intent to run them through the free adventure "<a href="http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20040529a" target="_blank">Frozen Whispers</a>" for the first session. I'll probably tweak it a bit to fit the settings, but the meat of the adventure will probably be the same.We've got four characters<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Boma - Ranger1 [sblock] Boma is from a small back-woods village that at some point in its history received a blessing from the Children of the Forest. So long as a son or daughter of the village serves willingly at the Wall the village shall remain blessed. [/sblock]</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tomas Whent - Maester (Archivist1) [sblock] Tomas was a minor son to a minor noble family, went to the OldTown for training to become a Maester, and while there began to delve into dark arts that caused a scandal. He agreed to go to the wall to save face for his family's sake. [/sblock]</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sage - Spellthief1 [sblock] Sage was a orphan who grew up in Flea Bottom. She was caught stealing and "volunteered" to go to the Wall. The strange thing is that while she's stolen plenty, she has no idea what she got caught with -- she hadn't stolen anything that night. [/sblock]</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Adian - Monk1 [sblock] Adian was raised by a Vale innkeeper and his wife. Believing he was their son all along. One day he learned that his father was an Arryns, and that he was invited to live in the Eyrie. Instead he went to the Wall to volunteer. [/sblock]</li> </ul>I'm not looking for anything specifically(yet), but I love to spitball ideas around and hope to get something fun and interesting for the players.Any plot hooks/complications for the characters, or interesting NPCs to serve alongside at the wall would be greatly appreciated.</blockquote>
