Message: <blockquote data-quote="Melkor" data-source="post: 1029424" data-attributes="member: 10786">I was originally planning to run an Alternate History Dragonlance campaign where the High Clerist's Tower fell, and the Takhisis won the war.Due to the fact that I'm not going to be able to get my hands on a copy of the new DL Campaign Setting before our mid-August gaming trip, I'm going to be using Forgotten Realms - only I want to change things to make it a little bit more grim.My plan is to start the characters at 3rd level (just enough to have something under their belts, but not enough to make their character's so established that they don't feel like they can give them their own backgrounds). I also want to run them through City of the Spider Queen when they hit 10th level.Let me say that I own the FR Campaign Setting book, the Silvery Marches book, and the City of the Spider Queen. I also know next to nothing about FR....I read the Icewind Dale trilogy about 10 years ago....That's it. I don't like Elminster or the Harper's, and would probably have them 'taken out' or dissapearing mysteriously from my Campaign.I need some help figuring out:1) What to do with the players from level 3 to level 10 that would allow them to experience things going 'to hell in a handbasket' in Faerûn before they enter the City of the Spider Queen module ?2) What events would be taking place in the FR that would make it a darker, grimmer place to live. (What armies could be fighting ? What evil powers could be on the rise ? What event could take out Elminster and the Harpers ?)3) Any other tips on making this work.Thanks in advance for your time!</blockquote>
