[QUOTE="Mycanid, post: 3050066, member: 40370"] Well Spooney it sounds a WONDERFUL campaign. :) I hope all the things we are posting and asking of you are being of some help ... even a little? If I could make one more possible suggestion. It might sound strange, or even not work for you, but it works for me so I may as well give it a shot. When I have an involved, detailed campaign plot I usually write it all down in as great detail as possible. Then, I move the data around according to an organizing principle - for example, everything that has happened to this character, or according to chronology, etc., etc. In doing so sometimes I suddenly get a flash of inspiration and see a "pattern" in the data that I didn't see before that helps to flesh something out or make something clearer. My last campaign used this method, and I thought it came out nicely (word is still out whether Treebore and SpiderMonkey approve of the specifics). So, you might try that. In doing so all sorts of things can come up. For me the actual act of writing something out by hand helps me to organize data and "see" things in it that help to develop it. Heh ... I've been keeping a daily diary since 1989 and this is often what I do in "assessing" the past day or whatnot, so I've kinda "trained" myself with this route, but it may be a help to you nonetheless. Whaddaya think? [/QUOTE]
