greetings one and all

 

I am part way through episode 3 of HotDQ and two of the players are now members of the the Harpers and the Order of the Gauntlet, the others may join up as they meet various representatives of the other factions.

 

so with that in mind how have people used factions along side the main quest? have you come up with a seperate list or have you just re-worked items from the book.   I have a few ideas on how to weave them in, but I am not sure how valuable that will be

 

Thanks in advance

I haven't gotten that far yet, but have you looked in the DMG about factions? It's got a bunch of very nice data.

I never used them all that much. I created a shapeshifting Druid to act as a go between. The party is on the road for most of the module so there wasn't much time for the Order of the Gauntlet and Harpers to really bring the organizations strength to bear in a meaningful way.

 

That said, I did create a NPC's every so often so they felt like they were part of a secret society. It was fun and didn't need much work from me.
