Silver Crusade 4/5

Greetings!

I am looking for some nice maps and pictures of associated with Port Godless- Azir, Rahadoum and any character pictures to add a visual flare for the game.

Also any advice on dealing with the plot, politics and dialogue will greatly be appreciated!

Probably better asked on the GMs' Discussion section of the forum. Also, have you looked on the GMs Prep' site?

As for dealing with the politics: it's pretty simple - religion is illegal. Wearing a holy symbol (or those folks with the tattoo symbol) will cause problems. Remember that most divine casting and channeling requires the caster to present their holy symbol (forcefully, in the case of channeling). If they channel in the middle of a street, they are going to get arrested. This can be interesting with the right group, but can also cause conflict if the party feels that they should be able to use all of their powers at all times without consequence. I made sure the VC briefing included specific discussion of this point, so when it happened on the street, everyone had some time to digest the idea first.

Paladins have a an even greater RP opportunity: since religion is illegal, they will be defying the laws of the land by using any divine powers while in Rahadoum. When I ran this, it was not used to make a paladin actually fall, but to provide the player with internal conflict about his choices (one that the player was into, so it wasn't forced onto them). Of course, they could always say that the laws of the land are unjust, but in that case they should be off fighting the Rahadoum leaders and not mucking about with the Society's mission.

It helps to know your players on this before you take it too far, but it can really turn another Society task into something memorable as players are forced to work around the limitations.

I didn't see this, or I'd have told you, think of Marrakech, Fes, and Chefchaouen. Images for these and their sooks should be helpful visual aids.

I'd go for Marrakech Indeed, to give an idea about how it looks.
As for the baths, go Roman style. Should be easy enough to find.
