Just finished session one of a new D& D campaign.
Set in Eberron, probablyy favorite published setting.
And it started with all of my players jumping off a bridge. I think so far, it's successful. (Playing a game of Sharn Chicken).
@carver Eberron seems like such a dynamic setting, but none of my players (at the time) wanted to play there.
Sigh…
@Daren I love the way it turns some traditional d&d fantasy on its head and the "gray"-ness. (Not as much black and white, good and evil)
@carver I love running morally ambiguous campaigns. Makes the players think about what they're doing, who they're doing it too, and why.
My highest compliment after one session was a player saying, "You're an asshole!"
They knew they were bandits, they knew they had to get by them and into the cave, but they encountered a downtrodden troupe of failing actors (and had some absolutely shit die roles) so they were in effect 'the bad guys beating up innocent travelers'.
