How do you start your new campaigns? (kbin.social)
 

How do you guys normally start your campaigns? Classic tavern, or something unique each time?

I've been thinking of starting my next one with a surprise DMPC.
He'll be mid-high level and over the top, inducting the players into his party because despite his power, the contract he has specifies it must be accepted by a party. He'll want them to do nothing but stay out of his way. I'm thinking the contract will either be a bounty or goblin clearing task. The target either way will be in a small fort with only a rope bridge for access. He'll tell them to stay with the horses, go off on his own and promptly have the bridge cut out from under him, dieing to the fall.
If the party want the payout, they'll have to both get the contract from his corpse and then complete it on their own.

X to be investigated for allegedly breaking EU laws on hate speech and fake news in c/[email protected]

While I have no doubt that the EU has corrupt politicians, It's no where as visibly bad as it is in the US. Most of the people who could bring this forward get something out of what he is doing or contributing to them, and they would rather turn a blind eye than risk losing whatever he is giving them.
For some it's helping out their base, for others its something more monetary.
There are mechanisms there, but they only work when the people watching them are invested in helping the citizens.
