Hi all,
I just bought the software to plan a WFRP4 campaign. While I get how to enter NPCs, locations... I dont get how to use storyline, events, scenes vs. storyboard.
My questions are:
1) What is the difference between World Almanac vs. Story Almanac? How come the NPCs I create in one don't exist in the other?
2) I do not understand the relationship between the Events Family (Scene, storyline, quest etc...) to the Storyboard
For example, I want to build the very simple FFG adventure "
A Day Late, A Shilling Short" in RW.
The adventure plot is:
- Setup: In an inn, the PCs receive the job to find/rescue a lost coach, and particularly find the MacGuffin within the coach.
- Episode 1: A Missing Coach
- Act 1: PCs come across a beastmen war party currently attacking the missing coach
- Act 2: The beastmen receive reinforcements, including the arrival of their leader
- Act 3: A storm breaks out and the cowardly beastmen break and flee, leaving the PCs to continue their investigation – for the time being
- Episode 2: Dirty Dealings - There are no acts, the PCs can explore the coach and find a scared merchant. There can be an optional social encounter where they need to convince the merchant to tell them where is the MacGuffin and to let it go
Taking the example above, I am not understand whether to use the Events Family or whether to use the Storyboard / Plots, or whether I have to use both.
I would appreciate someone helping me figure out with the example above.
Thanks
