[QUOTE="Grymar, post: 5083615, member: 41371"] Try making a short newspaper, it worked for my group. The key is to get them involved in the setting by included them in the world. Let them know that they are making a change while getting them to read about the rest of the setting. Main Article - Some world event that doesn't directly involve the PCs. Aundair and Thrane are moving troops to the border. Dhakaani soldiers are massing to move against Lhesh Haruuc. A Zil airship disappears on its maiden voyage. Next Article - Something the players did...make them look good. "Heroes save the village" etc. Praise them. Next Article - A mystery that ties into the setting. "Jorasco Heir Kills Patient - His Dragonmark Inexplicably Cast Inflict Rather than Cure" Give the players an opening to want to investigate. Maybe they've met the Jorasco in the story and were recently cured by him. Next Article - Something Interactive - "Sharn Watch Auctioning Off Recovered Items" The party can go and bid on everything from china sets to homes. They can even bribe the auction officials or buy something that someone else REALLY wants back. Want Ads - Your chance to drop a few funny or small hooks. "Rat Killers Wanted - Ye Olde Inn has rats in the basement. Seeking plucky young adventurers seeking first experience" "Pirate Captain Seeking New Crew - Must like rum and cutlasses. Peg legs and eye patches a plus. Must supply own parrot. No ninjas." [/QUOTE]
