[QUOTE="kelots, post: 8697260, member: 7036799"] Thanks buddy big help. Will keep this in mind! Looks like the player who's leaving our group for Uni soon can't make it so we're jumping into session 1 tomorrow. I think I'm pretty comfortable with most of the stuff from above (the mass-search through all PDFs helped me a ton in figuring out who I could improv off and who I needed to keep future events in mind!) Either way we'll still be a month or so off game-start full time so this is more of a toe-dip into the campaign to help the team get a taste for it and help them flesh out characters. One new thing I'm struggling with is one of my players got caught up in the Philosophy of William Miller in the players guide. He's now making this a big part of his character. Gist is he's playing a Spirit Medium Necromancer Wizard and wants to have found a rare or interesting book (ideally a rare/lost chapter of William Millers book) and wants this to have half-blood-prince style notes from "someone" in the margins. Via the Spirit Medium theme he is hoping for this books previous owner to have subconsciously steered him to find the book of magic he uses (almost warlock flavoring for a wizard but I think it works with the rest of his story) and that has set him on this path. This raises 2 questions for me if anyone can help :) 1) Is Nic the right person to be the books owner (e.g. has he found a true chapter?) I was thinking as an alternative, maybe his "chapter" is someone else's copy of the book who kept the notes. Either independent side plot but could possibly be on the Ghost council now or something? Seems like a great thing to tie into if I can figure this out and would love any tips. 2) I know my players and he'll drive for conversations with other Philosphers haha. I noticed Rutger Smith on the first voyage is a big Miller fan with some tips for a conversation to be hinted at. For this or future encounters (or for the chapter he might have himself) are there example writings or musings available anywhere (from other DMs or in later books) or is this something I need to improvise? Thanks guys will report back with how it goes [/QUOTE]
