[QUOTE="devilish, post: 2091057, member: 17552"] I've done it twice --- funny, I was just (yesterday) thinking about doing for the BBEGs as they are travelling from town to town but got bogged down with giving away too much meta-game information. Was trying to find a way to give the players urgency that didn't seem artifical. The two that I did were : 1) comedic value : the Warforged walked into a shop and the shopkeeper rolled miserably opposing the Intimidate check. I wrote an email to the group explaining how he packed up and moved out of town that day. 2) Time Saver: We ended a session where the party split up to buy equipment. I wrote them a narrative on what happened in each case and gave them some license to change what I had written. It was a bit of railroading, but they had the opportunity to say "I wouldn't have done that -- I would've done X .." and I eased it back in. It was more than it would've been : "You go to the weapon shop and buy a sword : and added some roleplaying opportunities when we got back to the table "...I made friends with Sven the Smithy who told me the tale of his dead wife ..." -D [/QUOTE]
