Ok if this was asked under another thread or Community board then I am sorry. I didn't see it.

Now on to the question.

The standard is 1 card per person per 3 HD. Now what I want to know about is the new Reward Card of Zhentarim Infiltration.

Can a table of 6 each have that card in each of their stacks?
It doesn't say you can't.

I ask this because if you have the above situation then it will be a very silly RolePlaying session for one person will tell the Potter about the weather and the other 5 people will then do the same.

Wouldn't that raise some eyebrows back at the Zhentarim that all of the sudden that 6 people want in as a group?

What about the last task you have to defeat an agent, so all 6 people defeat the agent at the same time and they all spare his life?

Also when you finish the Tasks ,do you still need to carry this card in your stack until the special mission?

All of these questions will be dealt with in the LFR campaign documentation, as well as in the adventures that have encounters which fulfill the tasks on the card.

Zhentarim Infultration is a Heroic Tier Quest that means even if you get mission access right a way your still going to have to wait a loooong time before you can actually plat it because I belive Heroic starts at APL 20.

The heroic tier is levels 1-10. 11-20 is paragon and 21-30 is epic tier.

I know that in quoting your post, I shouldn't be asking this question - I should be waiting for the campaign documentation as you stated - but I'm going to go ahead and ask anyway in hopes that you can pre-emptively put my concerns at ease.

If I as a player am trying to fulfill this quest for a particular PC - how do I know which modules I have to play to meet all of the requirements? What if I play one of the key modules with a different character? Will I end up missing the opportunity to complete the quest? Will module blurbs have hints in them for PCs trying to fulfill a particular quest?

The requirements can be fullfilled in several adventures, so I don't think the chances of you missing all opportunities with the right character are too big. Having said that, the campaign rules might ammend your fears in other regards as well, but for that you have to wait.

Will everyone playing the special mission need to have the Quest Card?

I see one of two things happening if so:
- hardly anyone plays it because they can't get tables together*
-fortunately there will be plenty of alternative games to play
- the requirement gets widely ignored in homegames (and quite possibly at conventions too)

..or it may be an outstanding success; but I'm not optimistic.

* I suppose some people may buy the cards (certainly possible for subsequent Quests if the mission is very good [one way or another]).


EDIT: come to think of it there's no requirement that you own the card to use it so if there are enough oportunities groups could pass these cards round (but they are still more likely to simply pretent they have extra cards imo)

I think everyone will have to have the card. However, once you are done with the card (or temporarily), not to say you cannot loan or give the card to another gamer; you won't be required to hang on for the rest of your unnatural life to an no longer usable card. :P Specific rules will be in the campaign standards.

Quests seem like an interesting idea but Reward Cards strike me as a terrible way to implement them.
Making it a generic card that anyone can take as part of their 'stack' would be a huge improvement imo though I'd rather have the quest start in an adventure and be an AR item.

There are those as well... (although not for access to unique adventures, but more for minor extra rewards in existing adventures)
