[QUOTE="Errant, post: 2767388, member: 1926"] Thanks for the tips all, keep em coming. I'm searching the net for other inspirations but DnD specific pointers are very handy. I'm picturing a campaign in one of the Five Nations in Eberron where the PCs are recruited by their realm's spymaster firstly to investigate influential nobles with questionable allegiances. Nobles that may be innocent and too influential to confront directly regardless. Later the PCs will be sent into other realms to investigate links and potential threats to their realm. I'm aware my players like a fair bit of action in their adventures so one or two fights, hopefully out of public view, will be inevitable (or at least highly likely) in each adventure. Successful missions will just mean no-one knows or can prove they were involved after the event. I'm still fuzzy on details though, and I need more ideas to make a campaign out of this idea so more tips would still be welcome. I thought there'd be more movies that I could use for inspiration, but so far I'm coming up blank. Thanks again for the help. [/QUOTE]
