[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 118220, member: 232"] It sounds like you have a good beginning. First off, start small. You know the way the campaign going to go, that is a huge plus. This sounds as if it's going to be mostly in the one city. THat is good as you can define many characters and places. THat will help you define the players (the city, the 2 nations, the cleric leader of the army). So, introduce a Pc that will be the PCs friend. Someone they can trust and that will never betray them. Pcs need to have NPCs they can trust. THis way they will be willing to help the NPC and allows you to easily put in plot devices through the NPC. Through the NPc you can show what;s going on overall by how it effects him or them. The building of a merc army and having 2 nations fighting for the city has got to cause some panic in the town. Are the 2 nations fighting each other as well? THat could be interesting. I'm not sure how much that ramble will help, but the intent is to get you thinking a bit more. :D [/QUOTE]
