Update 1/17/2018

  Getting back into the swing of things wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Though I'm still very much in the jotting down of ideas phase of my campaign the ideas just seem to be flowing well.

  Last time I was talking about the genre of the campaign, along with the ideas I have for the main villain, and a few of the factions in the campaign, this time I'm going to be getting into more of the meat of things as I'm starting to pen the first adventure.

  Starting the first adventure off I am thinking of using a hook that strays away from the normal " while sitting at the tavern...". Not that I don't like that hook or that introduction to an adventure , I just find myself wanting to over-use it or I end up make it my go to introduction. So I really wanted to break that habit and try out something different while still getting the players interest in going on this adventure and making sure to sets the tone for the campaign. Right now I am leaning towards this : "as you walk along the well trodden dirt path, you see a body of a neatly dressed man laying with it's face in the ground. One of the man's arms lays sprawled over his head and his fist firmly grasping something. " I will be elaorating  much more on this as I write my adventure , but I'm liking this as the introduction, as it adds a level of mystery at the start and may have players curious as to who this guy is and what happened to him and what is he holding? As well as fitting the tone for this campaign by starting off with a murder.

  Also since my last update I am fleshing out the list of NPC and the villan the players will encounter in their first adventure. I am really finding World Anvil to be an excellent tool to keep track of these characters as I start to create them. Not only does the site keep them all in one place for me , but it makes editing them easy, while making the character creation process as indepth as you want to get, the template offers room for a ton of little details that can really add to your characters. I really highly recommend World Anvil to any other creator out there as it truly has been a extremely useful for me.

  Finally, I am starting to sketch out the ideas for the very first dungeon players will go through. I dont want to go into much more about it (as I do want to keep somethings as a suprise) but I am looking forward to adding a few puzzles in here. As I really want to give players not only physical challenges to overcome but little mental ones as well. Plus adds a little bit of tension to.a suspenseful situation too .

 Thank you guys for reading , I also wanted to take the time to say embrace your creative side any way you can, be it writing or art , you will find it is truly an amazing outlet one that I enjoy very much!

Happy New Year, A Quick Update

  Sorry it's been a bit since my last update , but some personal family matters happened at the end of last year/start of the new year, that I kind of took a bit of a leave from everything.  However, now that I'm in a  better place (and feel that creative energy flowing) I feel ready to resume my work on the campaign, along with updating my blog/journal here. I hope all of you had a wonderful New Year and look forward to sharing my works with all of you in the New Year.

Thanks For Reading,
Rich
