Dungeons and Dragons

Hey guys. I have been working on a dungeons and dragons map for quite awhile now and I want some general feedback. The map is about a third done and I think I am going to redo the enimes in some parts. Anyways I am running scarce on ideas. Does anyone have anything you would like to see in a Dungeon and Dragons map?

Some background on the map:
- It starts off and you and 5 others are captured. You go to court sort of and the king send you to exhile. Then a mage warps you into the underground. This is where you pick your hero and whatnot.
- You know there really isnt any plot implented into the map yet. You basically are trying to escape the laybrenth.

Features:
- There is gold mines on the map as well as small forrests. You can buy peons and mine gold/harvest lumber.
- You can buy mercaneries to help you.
- You can guy a car.

** I just need some ideas of things that you would run into in the map. Any help would be appriciated :D

yeah a good story and when i say a good story i mean REALLY GOOD story DnD always have brilliant stories. and also get some beholders there really can't be anything DnD with out beholders. and you should try getting help from the creators of the dungeon master mod to help you with character making so you can have your own character that fits your needs. have intressting NPC's


thats what you need

if you know how to spell edit then it would be cool to make character heroes that resemble DnD ones. Rogues with sneak attack, fighters with weapon specialization that sort of thing. It will make it seem more authentic.

Good characters and plot is yes a very good idea. you might want to make it so people's mana doesn't regenerate so spell casting is closer to actual DnD. (you'd have to rest to get it back).

Plot Plot Plot

I will keep this in mind. I really don't have any plot... Any suggestions?

As for the heros this is what I have so far:

- Summoner
- Theif
- Warrior
- Ranger
- Sorceress
- Cleric

They all use standard spells, but I went through and picked out the best spells per class. There is something special about picking heros in my map, but I am not going to reveal it.

I really need help with some ideas plot wise or things/events you run into.

well you say that they are sent into exile/sent into a labyrinth and must escape by the king.

First of all, answer the question of why. Each character could have a unique reason, or they could have been a group before. Like they could have failed to do something, been enemies of the king, etc.

Now that they are in the labyrinth you want to make that part interesting as well. So answer the questions: of the monsters that are in there, what are their reasons for being there? Do any of them have goals? What *is* this labyrinth? What was its purpose? What is it used for now?

Stuff like this can help a lot for realism.

If you don't feel like answering these questions but wouldn't mind answers for them anyways, post back and I'll see what i can come up with.

I am going over these questions now, but please post your thoughts as well. I could use every idea I can get ahold of :D
