I'm running a campaign at the moment with a good amount of politics... my players have decided the city is evil and they will adventure elsewhere. Sad, but the real fun is finding ways to make them go back to the city they hate, bwahahah
Some time in the next 12 months, I'll be running a more political campaign in Eberron where Erandis Vol through her various agents will become a stablising influence in a particular region... For her own purposes, of course!
@ BalogTheFierce sig:
Tolkein's encounter was well planned; the most encounter by the party at once were the 5 wraiths at Weathertop and they had a higher level Half-Elf Ranger [more experienced hero with Human with Elvish ancestry], and were suppose [no show on game day] to have the protection of a multi-class Fighter/Mage Deva [Demigod] at the party’s start upon leaving Bree.
