[QUOTE="Jward4, post: 7218076, member: 6906311"] So here it goes. I've only played D&D 4 times and DMed once, all 5e. (For maybe a total of 20 hours). We were playing a quest from the book we bought from a local game store but my buddy that owned the book moved so we haven't played in over year. So... I've totally been winging it and creating a "one shot" for my buddies. So I'm hoping to get some feed back and maybe some ideas...? Sorry, I'm a newbie and i apologize if I murder the lingo... I've created a map using Dungeon Painter Studio. IDK if I should convert to PDF and print it out? or send it to my buddies (2 players) via e-mail and let them see it? Or if that will give too much away? I've created all the NPCs for the map using random NPC generators and given them each special little touches with personalities and quests to give the players. NPCS: Mayor, (main villain), his bodyguard, 3 town guards (2 evil in line with the mayor and they try to set up the good guard to get killed) , Inn Keeper that pay to 'get rid' of a drunk, Drunk (evil, in line with the mayor), that is in possession of a stolen item of the black smith, Blacksmith that hires the party to search for a stolen item, Ferrier, fisherman, Procurer (illegal weapon/drug dealer) and local church leader with his following. Story, the Mayor calls in 2 heroes to deal with a local cult that he is accusing of making people disappear. He points the finger at the local church (that worships an evil god to make the heroes kind of hate them) and says 'take care of them' the local church DOES worship an evil God but they arnt actually the cause of the people disappearing, the Governor is. I'm giving them the option to utterly murder this church and its followers or talk with em, find out its the Gov and go take care of them. I feel likes its kind of all over the place but I dont want it to be too simple I guess...? Any pointers? [/QUOTE]
