[QUOTE="thegrumpyyoungman, post: 5780080, member: 97257"] i've been dm'ing now for about 2-3 years and up until now, everything that i've run is custom. for Christmas i received Madness at Gardmore Abbey, and so i'm wanting to run this for my players. i'm reading over the materials, but i feel a little lost. *SPOILERS* i know i need to lead the players to Winterhaven, but once they are there, how am i supposed to work the deck of many things into the storyline? i plan on giving them their first card before traveling to Winterhaven, and i picked one at random to give them (Vizier), but where do i go from there? i guess what i'm feeling confused about is that i don't feel like i have a 100% grasp on the town of Winterhaven as i've always created my towns kind of on the fly. there are lots of other quests in Winterhaven that talk about Gardmore Abbey that don't involve the 3 patrons....so do i introduce the players to one of the 3 patrons FIRST and then have the other quests weaved in there? any thoughts or tips would be appreciated. i'm trying to go by the book as much as possible...if nothing else, just to see which method i like better.
