In N1 - my very first foray as DM - the PCs just arrived at Orlane with some basic information. Their second adventure - Das Hügelgrab von Cathaerlach - was a task given by an NPC without much talking about it. Only with the third one - "Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh" - I became more creative. I designed the town, installed a town council and had the PCs drawn into thing via roleplay.Later on the intro grew more and more from the campaign's impetus. The only given hook I really used - and would use again in an instant - was th one from "All that Glitters." The idea that the PCs find some fragments of a treasure map in the wrapping material for the cleric's ivory sticks with those fragments provided as a handout is just too cool to ignore.</blockquote>
