[QUOTE="The_Gunslinger658, post: 3806544, member: 22387"] Hi- Are group plays every other week, so what I do on the off week is send out a "Whats Happening in the Realms" news letter. Basically it lets the players know what going on in the Forgotten Realms: Heres an example: "Shadowdale: Rumor's are flying about that their is a War brewing between Drow Houses, their are the Drow that support Lolth, the Spider Queen and a new faction that is supporting Karansallee, the Drow goddess of Murder and the undead. Storm Silverhand, a member of the elite Harpers say's this is very unusual and bears looking into, more so due to the frequent raids on surface targets by the Drow. Waterdeep: The disappearance of several street urchins in the last week has prompted the head of Waterdeeps Church of Helm to order an investigation of these dissapperances. Father Savalas, head of the Helm Church in Waterdeep suspects slavers from Skull Port are behind these actions and is lobbying Waterdeeps Lord Captains Counsil to allow his Paladins to go down into that den of inequity and do some major clean up operations. The Misty mountains near Silverymoon: Within the Misty Mountains, is the Hall of the Dwarven Kings, now in the hands of the Goblinoids. Dwarf Lord Grungi Orcslayer is trying to patition the Queen of Silvery Moon for help in exploring and recovering his heritage. " This way you stay in contact with the players and also give them choices where they might want to go during the campaign. Hope that helps. Scott [/QUOTE]
