I have just received Dragon 348 instead of the latest Dungeon.

Just coming out of the back end of Drakthar's Way after having already killed the Vampire my party come across Xoden and his mercenary half-orcs. So the party Bard decides to bluff his way out.

My players have all been working on their backgrounds, and my head is so stuffed full of this Adventure that I think I'm going to burst. We haven't started yet but we are nearly ready to go. My players have done the longest prep and background type stuff they've ever bothered to do and yet somehow, ironically, we have managed to end up starting the campaign with getting together in an Inn! Here's the little intro I have put together for them to read before the first session. Using their background, things they've been discussing with me and a little help from each of them. http://scap.teknohippy.com/default.aspx/TheShackledCity/SessionOne.html I
I'm going to get my players to roll-up characters and start the SCAP soon. I've read everything and am now throroughly reading over Life's Bazaar. If you've run it yourself, what would you do differently a second time, or to put it another way, what pitfalls and mistakes should one avoid. Cheers Iain Norman |
