All of the action is beyond the town walls. I don't want to give the players the impression that there are any "plots" inside the city. Even the Baron and the Hood have a non-confrontational attitude towards each other.P_Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374589162025099763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-90682063994188182392009-11-26T08:01:51.993-07:002009-11-26T08:01:51.993-07:00Nice!
One of the things that's funny about ...Nice! <br /><br />One of the things that's funny about this design is that most D&D sandboxes are going to look like this. (Thus, the 9 Minute Campaign method probably isn't super-valuable for the Old School Renaissance, at least insofar as the OSR participants are fixed on kinda-standard D&D play: effectively we're all running the same campaign, at least in broad strokes. It's got more utility for non-standard D&D campaigns or for other RPG's.)<br /><br />But it looks like this is a pretty easy way to explain what's going on to new players. My suggestion would be to draw a little "relationship map" between those NPC's, just a handful of lines showing alliances or rivalries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
