[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5759210, member: 50895"] Well I did develop and help design 3 published adventures for the Kaidan, Curse of the Golden Spear mini adventure arc - so I've got some experience with complicated plots. Regarding the romance. I don't think I want to use a 'romance mechanic', as included in the Jade Regent AP. The intent is for a roleplaying romantic experience and not by roll of the dice. This adventure is not a scripted romance play, so there is no guarantee of a romantic experience, there will be opportunities made available and potential romantic individual NPCs presented. However, some will become complications that lead to possible dangers on what information the romantic PCs give to their 'partners'. The PCs may not be interested nor 'fall in love' with the elements provided. Because the party consists of aristocrats, things might turn into aristocratic parlour flirtations or romantic horse rides on the moors - I don't intend to portray sexual encounters - if things go that way, the parties involved can 'go behind closed doors' and be left implied, not actual. Regarding the horror - yes, I intend to make the horror elements a major part of the story. This isn't supposed to be Gothic Romance only, that is just something unique in color and fluff for the adventure experience. I want the noble father to have a nervous breakdown after learning some dark truth about his family line. I want the main female PC's secret sorcery talent to be revealed and become a threat due to the witch inquisition that is currently going on in the community. I want encounters with haunts, ghosts, moor monsters, fey beings to be real, and possibly lead to combat opportunities. I want conflicts between witches, druids and the almight church to heaten the environment. And I want a smuggling operation that needs to be stopped and combated by the lawful party of aristocrats. I looking to create at least a single level of encounters, not just a one shot. [/QUOTE]
