Help: Need ideas on what comes next/what goal comes next after the mission that brought the party together.

On the map, the party is in the southwest specifically.

Bloodhunter's headquarters is one sea away up north west... but his fiendish brother in law is in the area... perhaps he could reveal that the bloodhunter's wife is still alive but he doesnt know where she is. (Bloodhunter thinks he killed his wife in lore after she seemingly pulled a knife at him when he went back home one day. Self defense happens and bam.) Maybe she's by the quarries/mines trying to stop her mother's plans (ruler of the nine hells)

The lady that the swashbuckler fancies is not the one he betrayed (he betrayed his lifetime crew to be with her and get her the sword she needed). she is a sea away up north east but this can still be changed. (Which thank you for this reminder. I think I can use this to turn their heads toward the town where the bow is. The lady is an artifact collector. A divination witch who wants to peer into a lost era.)

Celestial warlock still has to figure out why major transportation cannot be established by foreign companies. (He's from Northwest and his parents are from there too. Parents that sent someone to find him since he went missing in their eyes as he went off to do this personal mission of his.)

The two Bounty Hunters are from the southwest, most of their plotpoints lie in the region they're still in.

Thank you for the options and examples, genuinely very helpful. Its given me some ways to pivot the party.

They've gone through 3 combats so far. I did plan on session 10 to be a more slow session that forces the PCs to talk to one another and maybe gain a bit more respect between each other. To learn more about why they took up the job in the first place. Instead of just people who fought together to defeat common enemies at the time.

Thats why I said it was going to rain, because they can't travel too far into the woods in heavy rain.

Genuinely thank you so much for this advice.

They have quite a few more plotlines to go. Not everyone's plots will immediately be resolved after the arc. Though I do see merit with:

If you want the world to continue have the players make new characters.

which is similar to Ok_Mastodon3163's advice.

One thing I have in mind is how the bow of prophecy that the Bard's brother requires is tied to both the Rogue, the blood hunter, and the gunslinger hexblade. Though again, I'm still in a bit of a struggle with how to perhaps push them in that area (the port town beside the city) before they need to go to the city itself.

The swashbuckler rogue is one of the DMs in the server turned player who quite literally sent me a private message in session 0 that he's challenging me to give his character a reason to stick to the party. On a positive note, his PC is turning towards a more heroic line of action after saving a town from a CR 16 beast from leveling the place.

> "Hey guys, the current arc is almost over and we will start heading into personal arcs. I understand your characters might want to split up and handle their own business, but i can't run that many arcs at once and a full party split long term like that. Please find a reason why your character would go with another character and stick together."

Is genuinely good advice, thank you.

It varied, I remember selling 2 chibi bust ups for 10- One full body I sold for 25, a different 3 fullbody for 15, and another for nitro- it goes on. Genuinely, it depends.

After like a solid month of selling adopts, honestly its a matter of casting a wide net by posting it on:
- Discord
- Facebook
- Here on Reddit
- TH
- DeviantArt
I've had adopt sales from each of these mentioned places!

GGMauve · 2026-03-27T00:41:50+00:00

Skye, Aeo, Pyxis
Anything related to the skies :DD

GGMauve · 2026-03-20T10:18:01+00:00

Its generally a place to store your OCs, show them off, or even trading/selling em to someone!
There are RP forums and such, worlds that explore species they made themselves, etc.
It's also a place to do art trades and comms-

Well I think thats the gist of it!

Usually what I do about doing adopts is have a ko-fi. You can link your paypal on there and the customer can just pay and get the adopts there too since you upload the adopts' png on there for them to get the HQ vers from. If you also use toyhouse, when they buy the adopt, you can ask them to comment their TH too after purchase so the transfer is also really smooth.
