You know, jousts, political intrigue, noble quests, etc. My players seem to be psyched about it. My only problem is how do I have the focus on these things, yet still have some of the common D&D elements in it, dungeons for instance. I want the Pc's to eventually become knights of the royal court. The first adventure is set up as follows: There is a beast rampaging through the countryside. The PC will be hired to slay the beast. Their reward shall be a knighthood.Now, so far so good. But I want them to be able to continue adventuring from time to time. But here is my real problem. I have no idea how to run a campaign that is filled with social intrigue amount the nobility. I'm not a subtle or devious DM. I'm ruthless, but not every devious. How does one develope the complex and subtle intrigue of the court?</blockquote>
