[QUOTE="arwink, post: 1146772, member: 2292"] Or it happened so long ago that no-ones going to notice as long as I keep things remotely right ;) The good news is that this essentially closes what I consider "Part One" of the campaign. The next update will deal with the clean-up of the fire-cultists lair, and then we start on part two of the campaign, which was triggered by this conversation: Me: So, what do you want to do next session? (mutter mutter mysterious gate/gauntian spies and silver spheres/other assorted plot hooks mutter mutter) Capellan: Will Yip be back? Me: Yeah. Capellan: Then we're going to Borr. Geoffrey: Yeah Durhon: Sounds cool. -blink blink- Me: Okay. Um. Sure, why not. (mutter mutter puny players mutter mutter) Lesson: Never put rough notes in a campaign introduction and assume you'll have time to develop them. Players routinely pick the bits and peices you consider a throwaway line and obsess about them, then promply forget about the adventure hooks you've carefully planted. So what does Borr have? Ice, snow, small towns barely clinging to life, and a horde of gnolls. How in hell do you make that fun :D ? [/QUOTE]
