If they ignore plot hooks, you use heavy-handed tactics. Tom Send a noteboard - 20/11/2009 07:33:16 PM
They are arrested for violating laws on the use of magic or weapons or the spreading of religious beliefs, or are accused of murder (rightly or wrongly). An expendable NPC is actually hanged. Then a man from the Collegium rides up on horseback and says that it invokes the right it was given by the king to use convicted criminals, and places a geas or quest on the surviving PCs and NPCs and forces them to do what the Collegium wants or they will ROT AWAY AND DIE. Then you start naming tasks.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

There's nothing more interesting than when the PCs decide to ignore the plot hooks. - 20/11/2009 04:34:50 AM 755 Views
I was suggesting it as a way to keep them on track. - 20/11/2009 05:18:45 PM 889 Views
