| #1ADHadhApr 17, 2009 4:52:32 | A little hint or exercise to make the background between dungeon crawls a bit more interesting and soap-opera like. If the player character's spend some time in one city as their base of operations, what interesting details might they pick? How do NPCs react to each other? How does it affect the main characters? Of course it should not be too engaging, the PCs are the heroes after all, but it could be fun. For starters, I've chosen too characters form the DMG, because they're nice and ready (and I'm lazy). The Azaer-Naerumar conflict: There are three resident Azaers in Fallcrest: Amara Azaer, the business-savvy, down-to-earth trader, her more romantic brother (little idea for him yet) and their cousin Insomnia, a star-pact warlock, of whom Amara thinks as a free-loader (one of the PCs). Amara hates Orest Naerumar and will always speak badly of him. He himself appears to be really well-mannered and polite, especially around Amara. He has stopped flirting with her, but Amara insist that he still wants to marry her and take over the Azaer business. He may try to use Insomnia for his goals, to make Amara angry (in her eyes). That's about it, how do you like it? I may come up with more and I'll gladly hear about your ideas. They don't need to be located in Fallcrest. |
