Do you think that would effect matters as far as floor plans, etc? Where would you even GET floor plans like that?I figure running it more or less like a contemporary prison (two to a cell, cell blocks, cafeteria, etc) is a lot more fun and for ease of convenience than more historical jails which are likely a real, bad mess. I want the PCs to break out, just so the campaign can begin. But, I don't want to just hand them the keys to their cell either. I figure "You can find a spellbook here, a vial of acid here, and a map of the area around the prison here" suitable components. Of course, these things will also be placed in inconvenient places (Like in the cell of a very aggressive and dangerous inmate).But among other things, this thread is just for brainstorming. Like, what's better, an island, a cliff (So they have to climb down), or just a generally traitorous area (like a swamp)? I need guard rotations and patrols set, but what else? Things like that. That's not a bad idea. I will require the PCs to make their characters together, with at least some sort of tangible backgrounds, so they are willing to work together beyond the fact They Are PCs. So entering some real nasty folk in the equasion that isn't part of the group sounds about right.</blockquote>
