[QUOTE="HoboGod, post: 5851885, member: 90920"] I'm in a bit of a pinch, here. My fiance wants to play a knight campaign. My first thought: "No problem, you're alignment will start at Lawful Neutral (normally I start everyone at pure neutral) and I'll help you scratch up a Mounted Charger." But now that the campaign has gotten running, I notice that it's essentially me railroad DMing the entire thing. My PCs go to the king, ask what service they can do of his Majesty, and promptly do it. That's the life of a knight. I've added some political intrigue to keep my players excited for the prospect of uncertainty, but I'm not sure how far I can go with the scandalous king and treacherous adviser plotlines. So, does anyone have ideas for a DM in a knightly campaign? What ways can I encourage a sandbox style of adventuring into a Camelot setting? Are there any RPG books or essays I should be reading on this topic? Does anyone want to share their experiences with this kind of campaign? [/QUOTE]
