Hey guys,
Soon i am starting a new campaign with a bunch of noobs, who are familiar with boardgames, but have never played D&D(in this case, 5e).
I intend for first three sessions to reflect three stages of their life. I intend to take Greenest (http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Greenest) as their home town and for all four of them to be humans. In first session, they will be kids in town(it will be very sandbox-y approach), second session, young adults and in third session, they will become grown adults. For these three sessions, they will have Commoner stats, but will be able to switch them to whichever class they will like at the end of 3rd session.
Now, I have no doubt, sessions will be fun, but these guys have very little clue of D&D generic settings or Faerun itself. Geographically, I'll explain to them there are many small villages around, that Baldur's Gate is of almost mythical proportions far to the West and northwest lies Wood of Sharp Teeth - a dark any mythical place no one but adventurers and alike dare venture to.
Now. I'd like to introduce events in every session, that reflect Faerun. Here is what I have so far and I'd appreciate more ideas:
- adventurers haul into Greenest a cart full of ankheg shells
- Caravan comes to Greenest for a day, guarded by Zhentarim guards
- A priest of Ilmater visits for a day, has a public mass, people really like him and bow to him
- news of goblins raiding some distant village
- Adventurers come to a local tavern, leading with them a cultist, they are dragging to Bladur's Gate for interrogation
This is some of material I have so far and I'd really appreciate more. :)
thanks
