[QUOTE="Mythmere, post: 457690, member: 7995"] One thing that can work in the Celtic/Gaelic flavor is the mind-boggling coincidence. You just have to make it big enough so that it is seen as a true plot device, not a DM trick. If you look at my thread the Mist and the Moon in the In Character Forum (sorry, I don't know how to link within the boards), you can see how I did it in that campaign; a cleric of the god of luck needs help, and the four characters arrive at the top of a hill from four directions simultaneously. The coincidence is so outrageous that it works. Especially in the case of a Gaelic campaign where the characters have big destinies, they could be following prophesies from witchwomen and all kinds of things to come together. I like adventures where the low level players encounter the big nasty and keep seeing it showing up, while actually fighting only minions and learning more information with each successful adventure, all leading up to the battle with the nasty.
