It starts with how they started in the business. With that game you get 400 points to create a character. I dropped that to 350 to represent extreme newbie into the hero business. The run is going to give them a basic guard this type of quest. Within it will have characters and things that are part of a much larger story I plan to work out throughout the next 6 months. The things they do to/with these people will dictate things in later quest.
Basically I started small with NPC's that don't seem like much; people they guard, talk to about quest and so on and so on. However, what they won't realize, unless they pay attention to the story I tell and NPC's reactions, their actions/lack of actions or how they treat people/side questions will dictate and help create a story that is going to be much much larger. I hope that clarify's what I will be doing with my shadowrun story and hope it helps you develop yours.

I am been thinking the same for the shadowrun game I will be DM'ING. What I decided was the following...........just a quick sum up for you.

That's pretty interesting I'll probably use some if that and in the end.. They're in a town filled with Rhaskas!

You have to post up what your idea ends up being as I am sure it will end up pretty good.

Okay you are probably a great DM and I'm glad you are willing to share your ideasYa, I have my guys starting out at a bar talking about how much they want to start this "running/hero" business. Then a guy who provides those types of things over hears them.........walks over and offers them, what seems, a simple guard these people quest. Which 6 months later will end up being really huge conspiracy story.......or they will all die by their decisions. I changed how they make characters too to fit it. Like they can't get all the fancy stuff just the extremely basic as they want to start into the business but no contacts/money for it. Make them work to get it all or search bodies of people they fight.

I suck at the mechanics. I can envision a great story but not the mechanics behind it.

I've been thinking about d&d and want to create a new adventure for my friends, any ideas? I would like it to be challenging yet it has an interesting immersive story.
Why don't you start your adventure in the middle of the desert where you guys can only rely on magic and weapons.
