Jan 25, 2006 19:34:16 in my current campaign, my players have showed some interest in going to the hinterlands. my question is, what are some good plot hooks, encounters, and locations in the hinterlands? im thinking of having the players work for a trading company to find new resources. all other imput is more than welcome.

The place is a gaint steppe, so imagine that it once boasted steppe-inhabiting Rebirth races like wemics, maybe trolls.

Look at my web page and get the "Pterrans of the Hinterlands" projects. It's old, but can give you some insight and flavour about the Pterrans.

Didn't those get exterminated by the SK's?

Jan 31, 2006 6:53:11 You know that all teas basically come from the same plant- the potency and color come with how much the leaves are allowed to oxidize before getting hit with a little blast of heat to seal them back up- of course tea makers then add other things to it (like zest from lemons and oranges) but the basic tea leaf is all the same. :D
