[QUOTE="Death_Jester, post: 1259777, member: 2156"] Hello Everyone, I have decided to start building a new campaign way before I ever announce that I will be running anything to my players. I want to get things together beforehand so that there is less pressure on me while actually running the game. I want to come up with some adventures that 1st level commoners could have before even taking up an adventuring career. My ideal is just to have the players take on the roles of some children in a village/small town and lead them into the campaign. I will post the adventure Ideas I have here. What I would like from the members of this board is some feedback on input on making the adventures better or possibly more fun. The players will basically be teenagers. I will have all the players roll for stats and then have them take points off according to age. This is assuming that they are all human, if they play one of the longer lived races I will let them keep most of the rolled stats. Not sure about the stats as of yet but I’m thinking –2 for every age category below mature for the physical and –1 for the mental stats. So they will be very fragile to say the least. What I want is some day in the life kind of adventures that are NOT combat intensive. I don’t mind a bear knuckle fight that is mostly subdual damage and possibly the main boss bad guy with a dagger or something. So these should be pure role-playing and or mostly non-combat type situations that young kids could get into. OK my ideals for the games. 1st a haunted house that some thieves(very low level) are using as a base of operations. When the players find the house it will be empty but the players will find some treasure. Hopefully this will lead to a chase though the woods with some angry thieves. 2nd A local group of Bullies try to start something with the players. They will beat one of the characters up and cause the others some grief. The players will have to resolve the issue without killing the bullies for now. 3rd During a local faire day the players get into some adventures following a skulky stranger around as he visits various shady people in town. 4th The players’ parents decide to go camping and something attacks. The players have to get back home and get some help before it is to late. These are presented in no particular order if anyone can think of other low level stuff that I could use for this game it would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
