Campaigns
When you decide to run a Fallen Empire game the first thing that you'll need to decide is what will be the focus of your campaign? Will you players be part of a Raider unit, trying to do as much damage as possible to the Orc tribes? Will the characters be tasked to enter the ruined lands of the empire and uncover the secret of its destruction? Will they be ordinary adventurers, able to rely only on themselves? Or will they be lords or knights, each in command of a platoon or company of men?
Before you can do any further planning you must first answer these questions.
Encounters
Most of the encounters your players have should be planned, part of the storyline. However, throwning in an occasional random encounter now and then is a good thing. A good chance for a random encounter is 2 in 6 per hex. To keep the players from realizing that this is a random encounter maybe you'll want to make a few die rolls in advance and write them down. Nothing like making them wonder if it's random, or part of some adversary's evil plan.
