Message: <blockquote data-quote="amerigoV" data-source="post: 5084603">Just a thought for ya - do you have the Stormreach book? Stormreach is set up as a microcosm of Khorvaire. Although not a town of village, it is not the Sharn/Waterdeep/Greyhawk/Ptolus megacity either. Just big enough to have everything, but small enough that by L6 or so (3.5e) the PCs would be pretty well known names in the city. Since it has a bit of everything, you just emphasize the parts you want (say simmering rivalries between Cyre and Karnnath). So you can have your Xen'drik and Khorvaire too!If you can sniff out the player in the group that is task/list oriented, this approach might help prod them forward. Make up some quest cards. Something simple like a picture, a catchphrase, and a goal. As soon as the event occurs that would trigger the quest, hand it out. I also did this as a player not too long ago in a rather unfocused group - just treated it like WOW quests. If it remotely sounded like a quest, I wrote it down. I know some will automatic cringe at this approach (too video-gamey), but this group had no other WOW/heavy vid players and worked like a charm to get the group moving forward, which is what really matters.I am doing the quest cards now as my group (different from the one mention above) is currently alternating campaigns each week - I figured it would help the players keep the games straight and focus on the goals.  The liked the idea. This will help a lot when they eventually get to EtoCastle Ravenloft part of the campaign.</blockquote>
