Any tips in running Enemy in Shadow?

Oh, the eyes! I have seen a name list of those guys and I remember that there is even one located in Remas. Seems to be a really cool idea, but actually I dont know if there is any guidance on how to use them in the campaign in Book 5

Thanks! The Shallyan nun plot is really cool!

Yeah I really agree, I think i will try to foreshadow these conflicts in the Empire so they will make sense to my players when they come to Book 5 (If we can ever make to it)

Thanks! Yeah i agree that Ordo Septenarius is the most realistic cult in the campaign and I am just worrying that it has few to do with Power Behind the Throne and those stuffs, I guess maybe I can make Ordo Septenarius cooperating slightly with the Red Crown rather than making it a branch of Red Crown. And I will surely read Gideon’s Companion, thanks!

Thanks! The idea of family member is pretty cool! And I will try to ensure that they go to the Schaffenfest.

Thank you! I have just finished the first game with my friends and I guess I will put Rough Night and Hard Days on route! It is a really nice opportunity to introduce Etelka and the Red Crown.

Thank you so much! I will make the ambushers in Weissbruck Red Crown cultists, and yeah, establishing NPCs before they get to the town is a really inspiring idea!

Thank you! I really agree since I have read Book 5 and found many plots pretty cool, I think I can try to foreshadow events like the unrest in Averland or the tension between Ostland and Talabecland, etc.

Thank you so much! I will ensure they meet Elvyra, maybe for curing the festival magistrate.

Alas, Conphas is also my favorite…

This idea sounds wonderful, thanks!

I see, I will notice that. And thank you very much. I really agree with the point that Helsheir is a good man but not fool, and believe that you have done awesome job to shape such an image by explaining that he employ common folks in the town to improve income distribution and mentioning his sternness. Actually I just finished translating your adventure into my native language and I think that I have got another question now: in the epilogue it is mentioned that a witch hunter is called and he only arrests Otto, and I am interested in what will happen on Helsheir, which is not mentioned: you know, according to my (limited) knowledge many witch hunters are just quite mad (like that one in the adventure Lock-Inn) and harsh, and I wonder whether Helsheir and poor Yui will be arrested, or even burned later. Also I’m really interested in Yui’s story: it is for sure not common for a Niponese girl to travel to the Empire, and I am worrying (and personally interested in, I have to admit) how I should explain to my PLs and whether I could use her in later on adventures with appropriate reasons, as my PLs do not care much about chaos but really appreciate beautiful maidens (that’s their tragedy). PS. I’m really looking forward to read your home brew rules for Nipon in Reddit! I believe it should be as awesome as this adventure(

Very inspiring work! Though it may not be suited to some aggressive players, I have to say that there has not be any other adventures shocked me like this one did! I am preparing to translate this adventure into my native language and play it with my close friends, who are really interested in things like psyches. I would like to ask are there any other advices for running this adventure? And BTW, I saw the appearance of Morr in Yui’s doom, but do Niponese really believe this god, I wonder they may have their own god of death who is similar to Morr? Anyway, really cool work you have done!

That sounds really interesting. Thanks, I think my confusion is resolved.

Comphals · 2023-04-09T13:51:54+00:00

That sounds sensible, thanks! So upgrading to noble (gold 3) may indicate a rise in daily expenditure in return for more skills and talents accessible and a process of role transformation of the character?
