I'm about to introduce some friends to their (mostly) first experience of role-playing games. I haven't yet decided whether it will be Shadowrun or an Iron Heroes - Eberron cross. I think what it comes down to is that my friends will want a bit more than just Hired For Job -> Do Job -> Next Job. I definitely need to bring in an over-arching plot with a bit more of a dramatic scale and some villains with very believable motives and aims.
I'm basically looking for good ideas I can adapt or steal. For some reason, it seems a bit harder in Shadowrun. Call it a shortage of mad half-dragons with orc armies, if you will. Or maybe it's just that my friends are non-gamers and wont have had all the conditioning to think in the usual stereotype plots. They'll be looking for story and something more than you are criminals, this is today's job. What have other people used, or wanted to use, as campaign villains and plots? I seem to be having a low inspiration day and could do with some good, solid suggestions. Gimme your best! Many thanks for all replies, -K. |
