Curious on ways to spice up or make a prologue a bit more filling. Thoughts?


Homebrew and House Rules


Hey everyone! Hope you're days/nights/etc are going well :)

So, I've been recently working on a campaign of my own (In my own world called Eblis), and am just working on the prologue right now. I'm trying to come up with a few things to start up the setting, and it seems partially bare.

Here's a link to what I have so far.

(For reference, blue text is spoken to the PCs, red is saves/checks, and black normal font is for DM reference. If anything looks really silly or the formatting is off, blame Drive. It seemed to take liberties with willy-nilly editing on my behalf.) Take note, it's definitely not done, and doesn't include all districts in the city yet. Umm, there are a few things not included here that are in other documents not on my drive at the moment, so if you have questions or want clarification, feel free to ask.

I'm still working on it. Just curious on what types of things you guys might include to make the intro last a bit longer, or give more creative and fun things to do until the inevitable part where stuff goes bad.

Any input is appreciated and I thank you for your time and attention :D

There's always the Neverwinter Nights 2 approach, where the prologue takes the form of a small carnival that also happens to serve as a tutorial for the basic features of the game - and if you do especially well in said carnival, you get an extra minor, but quite useful, magic item or two to keep with you.


Yeah. Was partially going the Rise of the Runelord way and

Doing This:
doing something of a fair/celebration that ends up getting attacked.

Though that is the long haul part of the intro. I want the party to be able to go around and do some fun stuff beforehand. Just trying to think if there's anything interesting that can be added to stuff for the Academae's Anniversary celebration.


Or at least some possible things a metropolitan city may do for something like that... Sorry for the technical bump-reply.
