Now I sit deciding what route to go afters. I'd like to see what everyone else has been doing / is planning to do in order to get some ideas. I'm really loving the plot and feel of the modules and wanting to follow them in theme and context.
the.eberron.traveler 03-31-05, 07:45 PM	Well, you want to go suitably epic. 8th-level is supposed to be pretty high for Eberron after all. I'm taking it for a given that, even if not known to every commoner everywhere, perhaps not even to a few in some places, the PCs are actually very well known "within some circles." In particular, the Aurum and the Order of the Emerald Claw may want to start recruiting them to do their dirty work. Without the PCs exactly knowing it of course.

rwarner3701 04-01-05, 12:16 AM	My party was not sure what they wanted to do so I ran them through some random stuff from The Korranberg Chronicle (http://www.kchronicle.com/) . After that, I found something that I really wanted to do and began having them hunt Vangradaun the Black (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?p=5560087#post5560087), they seem to enjoy it and thats good considering they can't really confront him at their current level. It gives them lots to do with a vague goal that makes it seem worth while.

You can use the ideas to build upon. If you help me flesh it out, who knows maybe it will be ready in time for your group. (I still have lots of time since we still have to start The Forgotten Forge)

Mike Czaplinski 04-01-05, 09:00 AM	Actually, I'm taking a slightly different tack: rather than use SotLW and GotEC as is, I will likely have my players go through them as agents of Cannith East, acting in place of Garrow & Company to obtain the pieces of the schema, and play out obtaining the third piece that, in the 'official version' happens off-screen (probably by heading into the Mournland). I am basing my campaign in Karrnath & the Mror Holds, so I can't use the adventures 'as is', but do want to use them in some manner (especially GotEC, since I find it to be my favorite of the canned Eberron mods so far).

Alextroy I think that's a pretty good summary of the loose plot ends with which you can work once you've finished the published sequence. Another thing you can do is to look to the party members and see how any of their affiliations might suggest future adventures. One of the PCs in my campaign is a Gatekeeper druid, so I'll work in an adventure involving a Cult of the Dragon Below and maybe even conclude the campaign with a foray into Khyber and a showdown with a daelkyr. I also have my players prepare back stories for their characters which explain where they're from, how they came to be members of their class and what motivated them to become adventurers. Most players enjoy doing that and these stories often provide good plot hooks. One of the PCs in my party, for example, decided that his character became an adventurer because he was unfairly exiled from his community. I may give him a chance for payback. As Alextroy points out, once your party completes GotEC, they'll either have done House Cannith a big favor or gained their enmity. Either way it turns out, you can build on it.
WarlockDa 04-02-05, 12:34 PM	Thanks for all the input guys :) I've got a good feeling I'll be interweaving multiple things into the rest of the campaign.
Edmon 04-02-05, 12:51 PM	Hehe - wasn't this topic discussed on another thread a while ago??? Try this link. It's pretty much the same topic... http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=402505 There we are. :D
3nigma 04-02-05, 01:09 PM	...And that other thread is the better thread for more ideas ;)
