The Fae would be more likely to be amused than annoyed at my presumption, and the natural response to this fait accompli would be "Sink or Swim."<br /><br />In case you hadn't noticed, I'm setting up all sorts of interesting complications for Alys' heirs (and hopefully new PC in the reboot). So don't think of it as a lost opportunity, think of it as a chance to front-load a new PC with all sorts of problems. :)Erin Palettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984632637166408245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976187330253229567.post-28512924253329267622011-06-07T14:24:40.029-05:002011-06-07T14:24:40.029-05:00White Wolf style of what you mention with the Fae ...White Wolf style of what you mention with the Fae Court and the Jagirdar Kaah - players offing the vampire Prince of a city, and then needing to take care of the problems the Prince was handling as well as enjoying the benefits of being top dog. >:-)Monknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976187330253229567.post-71399335440784549032011-06-07T14:02:26.994-05:002011-06-07T14:02:26.994-05:00@Monk: Being used by the Baron is actually their b...@Monk: Being used by the Baron is actually their biggest fear and what the discussion heavily circles around.<br /><br />I actually have no problem running town adventures and my Crendia Campaign (in hybernation, but starting to twitch again) had a great deal of town action. For this campaign (Southern Reaches), I was aiming for a more "pure" West Marches style where there is only adventure in the wilderness.<br /><br />One of the major learnings from this campaign was that there needs to be a bit more interaction with town in the form of bounties and/or jobs. The reboot will incorporate that from the beginning.<br /><br />If the campaign was going to last longer, I'd also have representatives from the Fae Court show up with assignments for the "Jagirdar Kaah", running under the belief that if she claims the title, she must want the responsibilities as well.

Caref...With great power comes gr..... eh, whatever. Careful with that "Jagirdar" title Alys. It has demands upon the Jagirdar as well as benefits!<br /><br />As to adventuring in town, maybe it's because I started out with White Wolf, which tended to be heavily "in town", I've never had any issues with adventuring in town. Heck, I've granted good D&D exp for a well-played session of political maneuvering! Some nice Bluffing, some Sense Motive, maybe even a bit of spying (Move Silently/Listen/Spot) for longer adventures. The occasional assassination, if necessary. A big conflict in town, followed by handling the aftermath - all excellent opportunities for adventuring!<br /><br />The entrance performed here sounds like it was perfectly planned!<br /><br />(and not to ruin any surprises, but if I were the DM, the adventurers would be very likely be used in some way by the Baron - requested to take care of some problems or something)Monknoreply@blogger.com
