[QUOTE="drowdude, post: 2586205, member: 890"] Back in the day, my original group ran alot of drow-centric campaigns. My second character was indeed a Drizzt-clone (even though he eventually developed into something very different)... but hey I was 16, and the Drizzt novels are what got me into the game in the first place, so whatever... ;) 2 examples from what we ran... 1.) The PCs were "Suicide Runners". Basically a group of drow displaced from their houses who were "chosen" (forced) into taking on missions for the city. Usually involved heading out into the wilds of the Underdark into hostile territory to assassinate someone or retrieve some item for the Matron of the 1st House. Generally the missions were handed down to them because the perceived chances of success were miniscule... thus the name of the group :) The campaign eventually evolved away from that as the characters developed ties in the world outside the city/underdark. But it was a fun way to get things rolling. 2.) "Gangstas of the Underdark"; Inspired by some articles in the Dragon magazine way back when. It was only a half-serious campaign but it was ALOT of fun. It was based around tensions between the criminal elements in Skullport. [/QUOTE]
