    Default The Region of the setting

    We'll have to either decide on a region from the co-op world - or make our own for the scenario. Thus what we need is information about the general setting. Classic fantasy, Arabian, Asian etc. ... and following that the terrain that the caravan will pass through. Also we'll have to name countries, citys and towns. (names can come later though). How long should the trip be - 2 weeks?

    I think using the co-op would be a neat idea as it would tie the whole package together. I could also see using something a bit more "generic" so that GMs could easily fit it into an existing campaign. As for style. I would vote classic fantasy for the first adventure with perhaps a "rolling hills" terrain type with at least one forest traverse for interesting encounter opportunities.

    Fantasy from here as well. Given that MOST caravans traveled well known routes, I do not think that it should pass that many foreboding places. A forest or two, by or through a mountain range maybe, even across a dessert. Not through swamps though......

    I am sure that the Co-op world has SOMETHING along those lines somewhere

    Agree with using CWBP. Not sure if anyone designed an entry level environment however

    All environments are entry level environments Think of it as thus:

    In the city of Bespin at the time Luke is there battling Darth Vader, and the Empire is moving in, and Lando makes the announcement over the PA that he empire is taking over. Now, a small group of local mercs, who have done nothing more with their lives other than guard cargo transfers in Docking Bay 859 are quickly asked by a ship captain who is currently in the Cargo bay to quickly go and retrieve an important 'shipment' that is not yet present in the cargo bay. This ship captain is in the employ of the Hutts (not necessarily Jabba, but any of them), and he needs the package delivered, or his life is forfeit! So the players, the lowly (level 1 PCs), go to get the shipment, evading stormtroopers, looters, etc, and get the cargo back to the just ahead of a small squad of troopers. A shoot out ensues, and the captain is injured and needs the PCs to now help him release the mooring clamps and fly the ship out of the system...the road to adventure in the greater galaxy has begun. All in an area most viewers of Star Wars may assume is simply a HIGH LEVEL location.
