09-28-03, 08:09 PM Me and my group of friends have opted for a pirate campaign set in the Sea of Fallen Stars after a highly succesful campaign that involved the Sword Coast and my own homebrew world. Thing is, after a 2 year campaign I feel like I am somewhat out of ideas, I got a few plotlines but I need, to add more meat and spice to it so to speak. Thus I am asking you, my fellow DM's to aid me in this dire time of need. Do you have any ideas ? :)

The group who must be considered very evil consists of a Male Ogre (savage species rules, no class lvls yet), A Male Gnoll (no class lvls yet either), A Male Mountain Orc Barb lvl 3, Human Male Fig lvl 3, and finally a Human Male Rog/Rng lvl 2/1. They are as said all evil, serving on a pirate ship named "The Bloody Wave". They are operating near Impiltur and Thesk and they are in the middle of Time of Troubles.

As said they are in the Sea of Fallen Stars eastern region but no need to limit your ideas to that :) The Vilhon Reach and the Moonsea is all gewd :)

Oh Ai Needeth Helpeth! :embarrass

09-29-03, 04:38 AM I wanted to start a pirate campaign in the Sword coast though but none of my players were enthusiastic about it!

Anyway. The main campaign idea was the treasure of a dead Pirate leader of a large pirate group. The leader died under mysterious circumstances (he willingly became an undead) and his group split into three parts under the leadership of his three best men. The campaign was going to be neutral to good and i had planned for the PC's to kill the first one alone then stumble upon the other two battling each other in a massive sea battle!

Between the two encounters there was a month's break. When they emerge victorious from the second naval battle an adventure on the undead pirates island lair was going to take place! I designed the campaign to advance them from 5th to 14th aprox. level so the last battle was titanic and had a lot lot lot of treasure. Oh and they would unite the fleet under their banner!!

nice? :)

09-29-03, 09:13 AM Sent them in direction of Tantras, and have them cross the path of Bane when he will battle Torm! Your pirates should either join Bane, or attack one of his ship. I don't remember what happen to the ships who travel in direction of Tantras...

09-30-03, 07:09 AM Have you seen the Pirates of the Inner Sea supplement? It's 2E, but it has great ideas in it. There are fights with the Cormyrean Freesails. Attacking trade caravans all over the place. Make sure you know which cities are "free cities" that will deal with pirates. Caluant is one. Set up some action there. There are other pirate bands to deal with, too.

Check out the book.
