Hey, I´m gonna play my first round of Dungeons and Dragons as a DM next week. I already know the rules and have read the core books.
I have created a campaign, but I´m not sure whether it is good or overdramatic here´s the summary.
The Players start out in a small town and they get hired to investigate the sewers because there have been rumors about giant rats. They go in and find rats as big as pigs and lots of oversized animals of all kinds (Imagine how scary a giant ant would be). After a while they find out that a mad Alchemist is responsible for all that and they track him down. When looting him they find his diary and read through it. They discover that he was sent here by some organisation to aquire a lost artifact. The diary starts out quite normal but it seems like the person writing it lost his mind very slowly. There are numourus entries like:" I saw one of them today....." "I will never go back" "I can feel them coming" and so on. They also find an artifact (i don´t know how it looks like yet), but don´t really know what it does. On the next day they get suprised by a group of scholars trying to chase them (I will make them flee by saying that they look really really fcking powerful). A long hunt begins and the players will most likely try to go to the town mentioned in the diary to find the organisation, still beeing chased down slowly by the mysterious people in black robes. That´s it so far.
Any advice? Is it too wannabe epic for level 3 characters? Some ideas how the artifact could look like? I would appreciate everything!
