Running the Witchfire Trillogy, any advice

[Caspian Marqine]

With the recent release of the Iron Kingdom's Character Guide I'm planning to run the Witchfire Trillogy sometime in the future. This is a question to those who have run that set of adventures, on whether there are any pitfalls I should avoid.

I pose this question mostly because of one of the core NPCs in the book. It is a person who has 10 or so levels in sorcerer, which I balk at due to the great difference in the levels of the party, which during the 1st adventure starts off at around 1 or 2. Design wise I find this terribly odd, and something that could come into contention when a party is run against that person.

If anyone has any ideas that'd be cool.

There are a lot of NPC's in those books that are not meant to be antagonists, or not until later in the series anyway.

You can do a search on the Privateer Press forums for some older WFT threads that may help you. Here is a link to the RPG forum there:

I am actually running through this as a player. You could swing by our boards (see sig) and ask our DM any questions you might have. Just don't give anything away...hehe!

First question, do you care about spoilers? I have played through nearly the entire trilogy as a player, and am in the process of running a group through it as a DM, so I am pretty well-versed with the world and the campaign.

Hmm.. I don't really see your problem... She is supposed to be that powerful. They aren't supposed to have a chance against her, she is, after all, going to be the protagonist throughout three adventures and eight levelups for the characters...

I have run the trilogy the whole way through, but I haven't got the time to write more right now, though I might get back to this thread later...
