In Media Res
How do you start a roleplaying game in the middle of the action, well you can’t really, but what I am trying to do in Adventure #1: A Witch’s Choice is have the players arrive during what would normally be the middle of an encounter.
In this case I literally plan on changing the encounter as it stands. In the current encounter a monster attacks a guard, freeing another monster.
I have decided to change this up. The Monster will be pursuing a nobleman, the reasons why are the beginning of Adventure #2: To Kill or Not To Kill, Why the monster is pursuing him will not be uncovered until the end of that adventure.
To make this even crazier I am going to have this all happen during the middle of another encounter entirely, I am going to have a man run up and then hid behind a PC begging him to save him from a horrible monster… that’s where the fun really begins.
Here is the thing, you don’t know what is going on you are already dealing with one problem and someone you don’t know is asking for your help and then you confronted by a monster that is usually on the side of the angels, and it wants to kill the man asking for help. A complex moral situation, that won’t really be resolved till next week’s episode J
Yeah I with some work this will be a much stronger encounter that the way it currently stands.
