[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 9459878, member: 9254"] I did that and it can work. My 3e campaign was based on all the things in the Dragon Lance Adventures book that didn't make sense and writing a backstory with "unseen" actions that tied it all together with the presumption some form of the Chaos War had happened so there was minimal magic. At first level they found corpses of adventurers and a map to a city that none of them knew existed even though it was less than a hundred miles away. They reached the deserted city under a mountain, saw some true ogres, had a dragon eat their pack mule, escaped, fought weird foes that were using shards of a broken Dragon Orb, and ultimately uncovered the history of the mythical Smiths, why the gods "came from beyond", why the gods were so paranoid about psionics, why Raistlin could destroy the gods, and how to bring back magic. It did take 23 levels and the entire publication length of 3rd edition (started the summer 3e came out using the gencon phb and as it finished we were reading through the 4e phb). So maybe try a simpler secret if your group isn't solid. [/QUOTE]
