Any genre is welcome, no game rules required. Each encounter should contain some conflict to make it interesting to play.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A poisonous animal has slipped into a potter&#8217;s store and the owner hires the PCs to kill or capture it without breaking any of his wares that line walls and shelves.<\/li>\n<li>A shadow demon is summoned to assassinate a bard during a performance. The bard sings of the mistakes, ineptness and evil deeds of the PCs. Do they intervene when the attack happens?<\/li>\n<li>A nervous merchant hires the PCs to escort him and a wagon load of goods to the port where his customer waits. Thieves wait until mid-way through the exchange to take advantage of the chaos of port crowds and potential argument of whose gold was just stolen &#8211; did the exchange take place before the attack or not?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Prizes<\/h3>\n<p>The theme for prizes this time is &#8220;take your pick.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nbos.com\">NBOS software<\/a>.
