12 Story Hooks at the Tavern

-

It's been said "you meet at a tavern" is no way to kick off a story, campaign, or epic adventure. It's too over-done, too cliche. Nonetheless, left complete to their own devices, two out of three players will decide their character heads to the tavern. So unless you plan on leading your players by the nose through the adventure, it is prudent to be prepared to begin here: A female merchant is looking to hire armed couriers to make an important delivery. A female merchant is looking to hire armed escorts for a business meeting with some unsavory characters. The dark-cloaked man in the corner is about to propose a mission to the player characters when he suddenly dies mid-sentence. A suspicious man is seen darting out of the tavern immediately after. A serving wench tells the party of a cave a mere 2 hour ride from town where there are said to be jewels and riches. She is one of the bandit chief’s lovers and she is sending the party into an ambush to be

The LEDGE Method: 5 Things to Consider When Designing Encounters

Some gamers like to play and/or run RPGs with a real story bent. And some story buffs like to take a "fractal" approach to stories, where each scene in the telling of a story is a mini-story in itself. Me, personally, I prefer to never lose sight of that roleplaying games are games.

It's because when I get into some heavy duty thinkers, like famous psychoanalyst Carl Jung and legendary economist Ludwig von Mises. I couldn't help but notice that the anatomy of Jung's conception of a story correlates strongly to

Smack-Rush-Ice: System Agnostic Initiative Revision

Universal Combat Initiative System for Turn-based Tabletop Role Playing Games Just a quick introductory note as to the history and purpose of this system. It is a systematization of basically the way I’ve always run RPGs. Of course the roots are in AD&D, but a lot of refining also came through years of playing Lejendary Adventure. The AD&D 1st Ed initiative system has been seen as indecipherable by a lot of people. In an effort to boil down the official “by the book” method for easy consumption, there was an outline produced by a DMPrata that supposedly compiled all the rules. Of course, the thing looked like a mess. I felt this was overblown and really failed to hit the spirit of the rules. Which is that initiative in AD&D was intended to be a simple group initiative. Roll d6. Highest goes first. Like many rules, of course, there are exceptions. And AD&D being “Advanced,” it took the time to try to outline a lot of the exceptions. And that’s where the confusion
