Maybe I should go hunt some of those "writers' resources" down before I attempt to build my next sandbox.Flambeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00133131881423202010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930065815010914887.post-35833954741167118882012-08-05T08:23:21.163-07:002012-08-05T08:23:21.163-07:00The baron de Bauchery is the nemesis of Princess P...The baron de Bauchery is the nemesis of Princess Pinkflower in many of my forum posts - silly sample characters I use over and over again.<br /><br />The conte di Grognardo is a real title, by the way!Black Vulmeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04270071699114783644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930065815010914887.post-41036765563360686682012-08-05T08:21:37.563-07:002012-08-05T08:21:37.563-07:00I have a post in the queue called Tailor-Made whic...I have a post in the queue called Tailor-Made which might answer some of this - using the dungeon analogy again, it's how the family of the vicomte de Praz-de-Lys is an 'adventure site' in my sandbox.<br /><br />On a related note, I was talking with one of my players at dinner last week, and I mentioned that I can't think of an npc without immediately clicking over to, who's his brother? who's his best friend? who's his rival? It's just how I process npc creation.Black Vulmeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04270071699114783644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930065815010914887.post-68787396880551145922012-08-04T21:38:22.289-07:002012-08-04T21:38:22.289-07:00The "baron de Bauchery."

I'm still noodling all of this...Thanks, Mike. <br /><br />I'm still noodling all of this, trying to figure out how to put it into practice. The lack of a group that wants to play isn't helping. <br /><br />I'm currently struggling with how to choose relationships among NPCs and how to get PCs involved without a contrivance or hook so obvious that everyone complains about getting on the choo-choo train. It's something I never did well when writing fiction, either, so the plots of my stories were deadly dull. I've been great for much of my life at character studies; plotting, set-ups, and pay-offs, not so much.<br /><br />Would care to offer any advice in this vein? It seems to be something you do really well.<br /><br />Thanks, again.Flambeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00133131881423202010noreply@blogger.com
