Chaotic goods means the race could be taken lightly, but nevertheless if people see an outright alien on the streets, it just couldn't be no reaction. I don't know who benefits, but the suspension of disbelief will suffer greatly for sure... And yes, you are right, the player just wouldn't like...

Forgotten Realms One of PCs is Dragonborn. It was more or less OK in the wilds, but now they entered a big civilized city, Berdusk Locals should react in some way. Again there is a such thing as a city alignment in Forgotten Realms. And it's chaotic good for gods' sake What would be some...

GURPS If you don't count the D&D itself and our very own hacks of D&D, it was GURPS But D&D itself was far from D&D in my case. Because we were a bunch of big kids without enough English and without rulebooks! We've got some excerpts and bits in ENglish and some article _about_ D&D in Russian...

Ok, 'for whom it may concern' I'll tell my solution to the question I take the showdown with the Cultist Toughs as a centerpiece, a permanent detail I want to happen in most cases (or provoke the Players / PCs to avoid it actively and cleverly). This is a happening I reward with a level up for...

Cool!.. Great leading questions, thank you! LOL Brilliant! But far too effective

I'm not afraid of 'roadblock'. The problem is that they could prevent a theft in 5 minutes of gameplay, leaving the game where it was

As beholders are already taken I vouch for ...goblins. 5E goblins. They are really weak, but still can pose a grave deadly danger if PCs aren't cautious enough

And now the big (off-topic) question here is what if PCs successfully prevent the theft?

Aha Thanks, I was worried if I am over-engineering things I see... I believe I don't need many conflicts here. This is a nested 5RD already. The first part -- losing the goods during downtime -- isn't a regular 5RD (it's too non-linear for that), but is very close to it. Also I want the whole...

No, no, no I meant not a whole story about losing the goods and acquiring them back, but just an attempt to get them back Like Entrance: Items are lost! (Hm... what could be a 'Guardian' here?) Puzzle: find the lead(s) - this could be a big one, up to severalencounters really + 5 Actions...

I mean not a chase per se, but rather the whole operation of retrieving your goods fromnthe thieves? PCs in my game are going to provide good opportunities for thieves to steal their magic good in Beregost. Probably. It's fun, but I don't want PCs to loose their weapons. I'm going to leave a...

By the way... Dragonborn kind of hate the dragons. At least the majoritybof the Dragonborns on Toril hate dragons' authorities But I'm not sure the player knows and remembers that... On the other hand, the cultists may be an ambassadors to a dragonborn country far in the east, and their...

Not much. The campaign scenario has a special bonds to choose from, but the only relevant here is that elven wizard's niece, whom he's very much fond of. She is actually Talis the White, an ambitious functioner of the Cult of Dragon (only 2 steps down from the very apex of the cult) The other...

The problem with this, it doesn't make the cultists villains. Vice versa theyvare victims in this story.... What could I add to make them villains? Better stillnto make things personal for PCs, for players to desire to fight the cult?

Maybe a charlatan and some thiefs could relieve them of their hard-won magic items (instead of identifying). And then leave an easy trail to the cultists. Why on earth the trail would be easy to follow?! Like the thiefs tried to sell the goods to the cultists,. Which pose as a traveling...
