Message: <blockquote data-quote="touc" data-source="post: 9675840" data-attributes="member: 19270">No continuity, no plans to run a future campaign here, so it'll be a true wrap up.  That's where my initial thoughts went. We went to the Dragon Age setting, and the best of them all (Origins) did a fantastic epilogue based on player decisions. My brainstorm map is forming of:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">And then it was over. Sum up the immediate repercussion of defeating the BBEG, stopping the horde, and the sacrifice of the player character. Shamelessly steal any pre-written material from DA that directly applies because they had great writers.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Coronation (Epilogue part 1). The country needs a new ruler (not the PCs), and this gives a chance for them to see old VIPs before they mingle with the masses and see their sac'd friend's body off to its home, a trek across the country. Slain PC needs some reason to interact, maybe he can assume the persona of some NPC?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Visuals. I thought it'd be nice to print the major NPCs and painter's tape those pics to the game room wall so they can "go chat" with them. Easier to remember and visuals are nice from time to time.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Funeral (Epilogue part 2). Time for a PC speech about their fallen comrade? On way home, visit a town they saved, more NPCs from the less than VIP crowd. More wrapup stuff, long term years-down-the-road stuff, PCs can pick what they want to know about and interject if they intervened.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tragic Calling (Epilogue part 3). There's a reveal. Anyone who took the ability to permanently destroy the BBEG (old gawds) don't get to live long lives. They took tainted blood into their bodies, and slowly and inevitably this will corrupt them. 2 players had this feature, 1 "lost it" (very long story involving necromancy). Let the players play out how they handled this.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Final homage & Inside Joke. Anything else the PC who sac'd his life to destroy the BBEG once and for all wants to say, and then maybe an inside joke (our player convinced(?) the other gamers that in this setting, dwarves reproduced by laying rocks heated in lava and that's why you don't have dwarf-human relations).</li> </ul></blockquote>
