[QUOTE="mmaranda, post: 4103530, member: 55071"] [b]My idea of PoL[/b] Points of Light is a grand idea and as such it is really what you make of it. Obviously there should be lots of darkness that constantly threatens to snuff out the light. Often people assume it goes hand in hand with a lack of knowledge and understanding of what is "beyond" because most people fear what they do now know. Many people consider the light to be existing civilizations but it could be that the PCs are the light and their actions build a bonfire. PoL should be dark and should force the players to always ask questions. It can be a simple question like "What is over there?" something more complex "Gee, the dark woods of death seem bad, do we think we are strong enough to help the elves get back their captured prince?" or very complex "If we go into the village the pack of demons might follow us but we need to talk to the witch there and see the tattoo that will lead us to the artifact that will stop all the worlds demons. But if we aren't there to defend the people of the village they will all be slaughtered, but if we are there to defend the people we might be slaughtered with them. Of course if we don't go into the village then the tattoo map to the artifact will remain a secret and others could find out about it and stop the demons. But then how do we help stop the demons? What do we do?" [/QUOTE]
