Campaign Option 1: Capital- Stories of the Mega-City

Urban Fantasy in a Big City

Combat: Medium

Roleplay: High

Travel: Low

**Starting Level:**1

Summary of campaign-style: Building your own organization, Gang/political faction, Arcane mystery, Dungeon Delving, city-centric intrigue

Region Info/Pitch: Capital is the biggest city in the country. It holds the most influence, and houses the most people. Ruled by a council that is rumored to be corrupt, with various magical groups vying to push out others and gain their own space, not to mention the everyday members of society, things are always happening. The Yawning Portal is a popular tavern that offers timed transportations to other locations or realms for a small fee, with the incentive that the adventurers can keep whatever they bring back. Unfortunately, the eponymous Portal is under repair, as it is found 3 stories underground. 

Player Buy-in: You’ll want to be curious about the city. You all are a group of people who are down on their luck looking for work (Whether its sellswords, smuggler, miners, etc I leave that up to you all) and you’ve been hired by a wealthy Merchant to go investigate a batch of missing Miners. Then after the initial quest the city of Capital opens up for the players to investigate as they please. The Portal offers a wide breadth of adventures, and the city is full of hooks for adventurers to pull at. Roleplaying your way around a city, and dealing with recurring characters in it must sound interesting.

For this campaign, I would like to have a weekly newspaper or something that comes out on the website as well. I’ll get to use this fun news ticker too:
