[QUOTE="incognito, post: 414329, member: 7008"] [b]minute plots (just add water)[/b] I need shake and bake intrigue . Like P-Cat's Noble who married a demon, and even if/when the party discovers this can't expose her due to the cities policy of stoning anyone known to associate with demon's (the Noble is thier buddy). Or an NPC antogonist, or Protagonist, with fleshed out long term goal and timeline's. Someone who can interact with the party socially, not combatively. Scenarios for gather info, diplomacy, forge document, bluff, sense motive. And they ahve to be able to drag and drop into an exsiting campaign. I am not looking for stats, exactly, but hooks that amke sense - none of this: fetch treasure and kill monster - put political struggles worth dying over. Scandal, and rock and a hard palce choices (Sophies Choice, etc). Moral and eithical challenges for good (like not enough natural recourses which forces two nations to compete and have hostility). Pholisophical cahllenges for Law, or Chaos (maybe slavery as an accepted practice in a lawful campaign, or a lack of public services in a chaotic one - no one wants to be the fire dept, or police dept., or the militia) finally, I need good puzzles and traps. Not like the book of challenged (you walk into a room and the doors 'magically' seal. but a well laid out crypt, or den of a beast, or a castle with some sensible, craft traps. By the same token who about some good old player driven 'block style' puzzles. Like some sort of see saw, or bags of sand that have to be places correctly to advace the party. Not simply three color coded keys (blue key get through the blue door), but genuine brain teasers. Anyone know a good resurse for something like that? [/QUOTE]
