[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1818878, member: 812"] Yeah, I love complex campaigns. Barsoom is a mess. I don't really create a "hierarchy" of bad guys -- that implies that they're all working together. I just come up with lots of cool bad guys (or rather, I come up with lots of cool crazy people who are willing to do just about anything to get what they want -- whether they're good or bad is less important, as far as creating strong stories goes), throw them all into the mix, and see what they do. Every so often I go through my notes and say to myself, "Now, what's so-and-so up to these days?" and come up with ideas for deeds and plots they might be getting involved in. Here's a related question: Do your players take notes on stuff in your campaign? My players have gone through entire notebooks jotting down stuff in Barsoom, and every time some new information comes to light, there's a room-wide shuffling of papers as everyone hunts frantically for connections/contradictions/confirmations to what they've already learned...
