Now that you and your friends have determined who will be players and which one will be the Rac, it is time for the Rac to build an adventure.  The quickest and easiest way to develop an adventure is by using the Holy Lands RPG LairBuilder tool. It is easily one of the coolest developments to hit the RPG scene. Our LairBuilder tool can develop a complete adventure with hours of fast-paced, fun gameplay in just a couple clicks. From your account page, you will go to the campaign builder and then click on the LairBuilder button. Then you will be asked a  couple questions about the number and level of players in your group, and once you click the "Generate Lair" button, you will instantly have a completely unique dungeon adventure randomly generated and fully stocked with competitively matched enemy monsters, treasures, gold, items and equipment, and weapons and armor. It also creates a complete detailed map with various chambers, hallways, and secret passages, all with an easy-to-follow description of the inhabitants, layout, and where various furnishings and clutter items are located. As if that was not enough, Holy Lands RPG has a bunch of other online tools for players and Racs to use to develop their characters and campaigns. One tool that veteran gamers really like is the NPCBuilder, which allows you to develop and describe NPC's (Narrated Personality Characters) who your characters will interact with on various social levels. The NPCBuilder keeps a storyline of an NPC that others can contribute to, which describes information that is public about that NPC and some behind-the-scenes information that tells Racs how this NPC is supposed to affect the adventure. This secret information describes what the NPC is really like -- information the characters may or may not ever directly know about how the NPC influences the campaign. Of course, Holy Lands RPG would not be complete without powerful holy items to help your character combat the dangers of the supernatural magic and demonic world. Therefore, for Racs there is a Holy Item Builder tool, which allows them to develop powerful holy weapons, holy armor, and various items of supernatural power. These items typically are weapons and equipment that any character can use, not just miracle-wielders or clergy. In order to build these holy items, the Rac will have to "spend" Quest Credits, which they will gain more of as they run more adventures and as you and others participate in their adventures. The more Quest Credits you spend the more powerful holy items you get, and the more powerful holy item you give out the more fun the adventures can be. Then, you gain more Quest Credits the more the players feel your adventure was fun, and the cycle starts over again. There are several other tools that players and Racs can use, such as defining locations (i.e. naming and describing inns and taverns, etc.) and their NPC's and history. More than that, all of the tools that are available to you as a player and as a Rac are available to others, which actually means that all of the great creative elements that you create for your game, future Racs will be able to use for their games. Of course, the greatest tool of them all, which far surpasses any program we can develop, is the awesome creativity of players just like you, who have developed their adventures for their players but unknowingly inspired our adventures, which then inspired others' adventures, which you can easily find inspiration and to build your adventures. |
