Greetings!
The Situation: I am currently starting up an Iron Kingdoms game.
The Problem: About 50% of my players are from a previous game that I ran. Therefore, I cannot recycle old story arcs.
THE SOLUTION: I was hoping that we might pool our story ideas. I would like IK specific story ideas (or at least fantasy setting), though if we are all sharing, they don't have to be.
I'll get us started:
From the old game:
A mysterious scholar hires the group to retrieve an artifact. The scholar sells out the party to slavers instead of paying up. Turns out the "scholar" is a sorcerer looking to make a play for the throne. The party leaves the country with the princess in exile to request help from her country's allies. They return to a battle where they are out numbered for epic finally.
And idea for the current game:
The party is hired to escort refugees from an occupied country. Unknown to them, there are spies among the refugees. The party realize that they have been helping the enemy/have to hunt down the spies.
(I intentionally left it vague - ish in case anyone actually wants to use it/work in their own ideas.)
So, any other ideas?
