Well, After Christmas im running a campaign with my RL group. An epic Campaign starting at level 30 and ending at level 40. Thing is. I have never run epic. I have dmed times before but not epic and was hoping for tips.
Here is the intro
The cell was lit by a single dim red light coming from the grill above. Your head has a dull ache to it and your ears are filled by the screams of those being tortured in the 5th hell. You had been bound here trapped by the Nine Balor Lords who wished for you to meddle with their plans no more. And so you are to live eternity being tortured everyday then left in the same old cell the next. That was how you thought it would always be until you began to speak with the others. Now after a few weeks of planning you hoped to escape and bring down the nine once and for all. But you would only have one chance and that chance was to be today.
Every 30,000 years a tournament is held between the nine Balor lords best prisoners and there four of you have been chosen to compete in a great arena the four of you with the power you held returned to you. In a tournament that will require wits, reflexes and skill that match know others. As promised if you win you will returned to the mortal realm during the time frame you were stolen from and all your memories will be returned to you. And though you wish it was true you know that the balor lords speak know truth and so now you wish to escape. To another plane if needs be. All you know is all teleporting effects or plane shifting abilities will be unusable in the arena until right after the last match and so the spell caster of your group must be prepared for that moment. Brace your selves. Soon the tournament will begin.
Basicly after the tournament the players escape and begin to form an army amongst the planes. But im not sure how I should do the hireing. Im hoping to use the epic leadership feat with each of the the three players recieving it as a bonus feat but im not sure if this will work. I will be providing adventures that by using a squad from their army (They'll play as these throughout the campaign going on small missions such as going into cities and looking for recruits or asking help from divine sources such as gods).
Also all equipment for the army will have to be forged and I really dont know how to manage it all.
PLEASE HELP ME :)
