[QUOTE="shadowlight, post: 468990, member: 7084"] I think you've got a great intro... I'd definitely try to leave a lot of clues and unanswerable questions in the first episode (things you can build on and try to resolve in later adventures). I'm currently running a d20 Modern campaign that sounds sort of similar. One thing I recommend is to type up a character background for each player and throw something weird in (if the players want to they can type up their own background and you can do a little editing and add the weirdness). It adds a lot of intrigue if the players have secrets about themselves that they don't share with the other players... It also gives them something to look forward to (a mystery to be solved over the course of several adventures), and gives them a reason to go on the adventure in the first place. One of my players is typing up our adventures on the story hour thread (look for the Shadowlight Chronicles). Hopefully there are some ideas you can use there. -[URL=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=346936#post346936]http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=346936#post346936[/URL] One last thing. Definitely use the d20 Modern rulebook (as opposed to the polyhedron mini-game rules or Call of Cthulhu rules). You'll find that the people who don't play the fighter types will be able to contribute a lot more. I hope that helps. I've also got a bunch of handout (including character backgrounds). Let me know if you're interested. [/QUOTE]
