[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 8208018, member: 36349"] So let's post some hypothetical ideas. 1) They go for a Gamer: Dorkness Rising story line. Starts off with a trio of kids heading to a store that's running various rpg games, have them encounter the other two who will serve as the dm and players of the game and they eventually talk deciding to meet up the next saturday using the week to design their character and their dm keeps in contact answering questions about their campaign. Lets say male dm running a variation of conan meets steampunk using the standard array of gods from the phb to make things simple. The backdrop is the kingdom is recovering from a war caused by an evil warlock and the king has two heirs and things seem rosy until he suffers a stroke and is kept hidden as those assuming his responsibilities are quietly seizing power so its becoming ruled by the Wizard's Guild who have control of the cities but lack influence over the smaller settlements. Anyway the players send him their characters and he queries parts so he can get the game ready and a new player is added at the last moment who initially seems to be deliberately upsetting the game but he gradually gets invested as the game helps them bond. MEANWHILE their characters in the game world have met at the inn they're a little uneasy at how they get talking as some aren't supposed to be friendly but the evening is upset when guards charge in trying to arrest two of them forcing the others to intervene and although initially arrested they're freed when the village sheriff advises them to flee into the forest as the local Magistrate a member of the Wizard's Guild wants them killed but doesn't know why. Heading into the Forest the village is set on fire by an arriving dragon and they understand something is dreadfully wrong. Probably nothing like that but you have to start somewhere! 2) Straight action adventure movie maybe they're shipwrecked and waking up on the shore they manage to reach the nearest town only to discover some unknown force is preying on the settlements and heroes are needed to help discover whats actually going on! Well it is a start! What to suggest a possible plot for this? [/QUOTE]
