[QUOTE="BV210, post: 3780388, member: 1534"] Oh my! I've been developing/running a caravan-based campaing (simply titled "Caravan") since the days of 2e. It is a Forgotten Realms set campaign where the caravan will travel from Waterdeep to Kara-Tur and back. Since, as you correctly state, that getting hit by brigands would get dull after a while, I set mine up where the PCs are "caravan runners." In that capacity, they would travel to areas that the main caravan couldn't get to. I gloss over the trading/bartering part, but have been able to input a bunch of adventures along the way. I had a thread a few months ago laying out the first few chapters (28 planned!) but I can't find it so I'll recap. Chapter 1: Waterdeep - Heroes' Rest (my creation, PCs form as a party and get a small adventure under their belt before the caravan departs and runs afoul of the Zhentarim - the start of a long and beautiful friendship) Chapter 2: The Road North - Welcome to the Kryptome (Dun 52) - By Kraken (my creation, run afoul of the Kraken Society in Yartar) Chapter 3: The Interior - The Whistling Skeleton (Drag 200) - The Matchmakers (Dun 7) - Shut In (Dun 128 - the party got horribly off track in "The Matchmakers" and I had to use this little gem to straighten things out) - Midnight Snacks (Orpsus from FR "Book of Lairs") - Cave In (my creation, the party's first foray into the Underdark) - Keeper of the Balance (my creation - dealt with crazed druid in Firepeak Mtns) - Grakhirt's Lair (Dun 1) Chapter 4: Welcome to Iriaebor - A Day at the Faire (based on article in Drag 118) - For the Price of a Rose (foray into the planes - from PS Boxed Set) - The Eternal Boundary (PS Adventure) Chapter 5: To the Inner Sea - Honor Lost, Honor Regained (Dun 48) - Raid on Teziir (Pirates of the Inner Sea) - The Oracle at Sumbar (Dun 48) Chapter 6: Into the Elven Wood - Two for the Road (Dun 49) - Raid on Essembra (from "Raid on Bormeum" in the DL Taladas boxed set) - Pool of Radiance: Attack on Myth Drannor - Till Death Do Us Part (Dun 29) - Commando (my creation - PCs rescue a Harper from the prison in Hillsfar) I've slowly been converting to 3.5 and just about have Chapters 1-14 done. If you want to know more, I'll be happy to expound more. [/QUOTE]
