[QUOTE="aco175, post: 5701576, member: 27385"] First off, welcome to the boards. As far as plot, I try not to spend that much time planning everything out- just stay a few weeks ahead of the party. Do plan a few far goals and direction though. I never been to Japan, but when I think of something cool I would like it would be Mt. Fuji. I seen a science show on a secret base in some artic mountain north of Scotland where there is a collection of seeds from every species on the planet just in case we have some sort of problem. Be that world wide volcanic eruption, genetic strains of mutant corn, whatever. There could be a secret base similar in Mt. Fuji but there they also study this plague, isolated from the rest of society. Breaking in could be a cool transition from low level to mid levels. A cool npc type might be a retired ninja or samurai type. He could be a politician or scientist type as well and be some sort of mentor. Of course his sidekick or even himself will turn on the party later on when they actually get a sample of the cure. Lastly, you need a group of antagonists. Some sort of Black Foot clan led by a scientist who is actually a pawn of some North Korean dictator who hatched this plan gone wild to take over the world, (put pinky to side of lip). [/QUOTE]
