Chapter 1 Expanded (Spoilers)

[Davido1000]

I feel that chapter 1 is disappointingly quite thin on content and think something more could be done before you set off to the citadel after 1 encounter.

I think i might include some sort of investigation around town first or maybe a few sidequests from the townsfolk before the town meeting. This will let the players get a little bit more invested in the town and its history hopefully.

Has anyone got any cool ideas on how i could expand on this?

So if you can wait to run the AP until all the installments are out*, you'll have more local flavor.

I understand that that's extremely unlikely. Who wants to wait until December to run 2e?!?

Maybe, if you're not running Fall of Plaguestone, you could reflavor some of the around-town sidequests from that module to fit into Breachill? There are several there. Alternatively, you could poach some from another 1st-level town-based Paizo adventure, but you'd have to convert them from 1e.

I feel like the section on Breachill itself is part of Chapter 1, essentially, making it much more content heavy. For the first session, I fully plan on having my PC's come into town, run into each other, and discover many of the locations and talk to the NPC's around town.

Ill be running fall of plaguestone as a taster of the system for my group first and then begin age of ashes shortly after.

Im Looking at Gallows of Madness at the moment for something to do in town and maybe foreshadow the antagonists of the book.
