WIP - Con Game Adventure Development - PFRPG

[JDragon]

Hi and thanks for stopping by, the following is going to be an ongoing development of an idea I have for a series of connected adventures I hope to run at my local yearly gaming convention.

The convention in question is DunDraCon which is run over the President's Day holiday weekend each year in San Ramon Ca (SF Bay Area).

I hope to use this thread two-fold. Once as a place to hold my ideas as they come up and second maybe get some input suggestions from those that stop by to read this. So here we go......


Overview - a series of 4 adventures that are snap shots of the big events in what would normally be a much larger long term campaign. I will run 1 adventure each year for the next 4 years hoping that they are good enough to get a small following year to year.

I plan for the adventures to take place in the PFRPG campaign world of Golarion.

Goal - the return of a true Dwarven High King

Levels -
game # 1 - 6th
#2 - 9th
#3 - 13th
#4 - 18th

Players: 6 for first game 6 or 7 for other sessions

Characters: provided by me

Party will be mostly dwarves with a one or two non-dwarves at most

Titles

Titles...

Being that this is going be spread out over 4 years and that people very often judge items by their titles/covers I want strong titles that will stick with people.

I like the idea of doing a 2 part title kind like Star Wars The Empire Strikes back

Here is what I have come up with so far as ideas...

A King's Journey
The Story of a King
Forging a King
A King's Crucible
The Forging of a King

I hope to have more ideas/insperation as I come up with adventure ideas.

Please let me know what you think or if you have suggestions.
