Title: [Conspiracy of Shadows] Liars, Swords & Money: Part One
Post by: Keith Senkowski on August 23, 2004, 05:39:41 PM
Hi,

Before GenCon we played part one of this three Episode story.  You can read about the Episodes that came before it here (http://www.bobgoat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=64).  This one layed the groundwork for the next two Episodes and had some interesting role-playing as well as set up several future conflicts.  

The way I ran this Episode was with a checklist of beats I wanted to hit and a checklist of information I wanted to convey to them.  They are not ordered and often some get dropped and new ones added depending on the actions of the protagonists.  I tend to run games by reacting to my players wants and desires rather than make them react to mine.  It makes for some interesting games.

Here is a summary broken down by day.
