[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 19127, member: 1125"] [b]Family, Obligations and Town Gossip[/b] As Kugar has mentioned already What I require before the campaign starts is for the PC to create personal histories linking themselves to family, friends, organisations, allies, patrons and rivals and stating the obligations/relationships which they have to those groups. So a Cleric of Morrus (for instance) will list the Church of EN as an patron organisation to which she is obliged. Whenever she is in a city with a Temple of En she most go and offer prayers and 10% of any gold she holds and spend a week in the Archives. Jock the Barbarian may have an old sick uncle who lives in the city and whom he must visit Rat the thief (Rogue) may have a fence who he goes to to sell any contrband MAKE THEM DO THESE THINGS and whilst doing them let them hear the town Gossip. "Ey-aye Jock m'Laddie" says old Uncle Angus Haggisbane to Jock the Barbarian "thaars b'n a strange wind blowin' through these past t'ree weeks. Me old bones are tellin me troobles afoot of the unseelie sort!" "Business isn't good" said Silas the Fence to Rat "there's a new outfit trying to muscle into town and Rotten Eddies getting edgey about it - you know what that means when Rotten Eddie gets edgey. " (ooc actually Rat has no idea what it means - but now the PCs can find out) OR ELSE Have a fistival of some sort which they can get involved with. Of course if they want to get [i]real[/i] jobs or (alternatively) go and hire a whore - let them rp that too (just the soliciting bit not the Unlawful CK. [/QUOTE]
