[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 74996, member: 990"] I got this idea, which seemed brilliant at the time, but now the well has run dry. Can any of you help me get from point A to point B? First, I should say that I'll be starting a new campaign (while still running my old one) in a few months. Half of the players are experienced, the other half have never gamed before. So, I have this small map. It shows a section of coastline, the tail ends of two mountain ranges, and a lighthouse. Inland we have Ochimo Oasis, Alifia and Arkios, and another place called Ancient Tellus, which is on the shore of Lake Peletea. There is a river, unnamed as yet, and along part of it there are some gold dots, labeled Gold Worms. I have two skull & crossbones markers, labeled Danger! Here's my idea. At the start of the campaign, I would give this map to one of the players, telling them that their father had died, and on his deathbed, he told them to pull up the floorboards to find their birthright. The "birthright" was this map and 50 gold coins. But there's a problem. None of the players have ever heard of any of these locations before. They know of no stretch of coastline with a lighthouse, and the other geographical features of the map are equally unknown. Can any of you recommend any adventures I could throw their way to further this? I suppose I could have them travel to the big city, and have several mini-encounters along the way, but that seems so...ordinary. I want this to be something different. [/QUOTE]
