gWow after seeing this thread I really wish I had more time to prepare and look over some of these before our first game, but I had a day to blaze through the book and get an idea of the campaign before we started it this past Saturday. We had a TPK on the last adventure and I took the reigns to DM this go round, but for the games I kind of flew off the cuff and only ran 2. The first was the weight lifting competition, but the one I was particularly proud of was "The Mrs. Sandpoint Contest" I had it hosted by the half elf woman clothing store owner(away from my guide now) and it started with a talent portion(the female gnome bard sang a varisian tale and the femald shoanti tried to use a ride check to jump over one of the other PC's failing miserably), a poise portion with a diplomacy check to answer something fluff about Sandpoint politics, and then a flat Charisma beauty portion. I used this event to set the stage for the general store owners dsughters, so that they'll be known characters so that seducing a PC will be a little bit easier. Setting up a little desire for the party's young paladin.
