[QUOTE="plancktum, post: 6279720, member: 6698531"] First of all: A big Thank you to all of you :) All answers are very helpful and I haven't imagined that much helpful response. So again: Thank you very much :) This is such a nice idea! That gives me some guidance on how to work with the pregenerated content :) But one thing: Do you have some ideas for campaign, pre-generated content which is good to use that way? At the moment I have a book with plenty of plot ideas and the WotC D&D 4e Adventure Path (which I consider not that good). I also have the Zeitgeist and War of the Burning Sky Stuff. Maybe take a look at the Pathfinder campaing paths for this? At the end I'm a little bit worried that I will "destroy" good campaings with my own ideas :D So that I will think "maybe it's a good idea to play the campaign directly", but that brings me to the problem that the pre-written campaigns are not fitted good enough to the certain group... I think I've used the word "spoil" wrong. I mean that in my previous campaigns (which were not fantasy, but Shadowrun) I've tried to be "too epic". That means I've overdrawn everything. It becomes too... yeah... lets say "unrealistic", in the case that I wanted too much. There was not enough focus and no red line. Yeah... It's hard too clarify this. But I think my stories are too "flat". They have not enough depth. And I think this is connected too the point above, that I wanted too much and not focused on the important parts. Yeah. That could very well the case ;) This Mythic thing looks very interesting. I will take a look at it. Maybe it helps, maybe not. But it's worth trying :) Thanks for the link. That's also something which gives my guidance. Some starting point to invent own things :) Very long and detailed answer! Thanks for that much work :) There are so many good points in it. I think I have to read your post a few other times when I'm working on my campaign ;) Sounds like a very nice method. A little bit similar too something called "plot matrix method" which I've read a while ago. I put the link on my reading list :) best regards [/QUOTE]
