My GM<G> already commented on this post. I would like to get input from
other members of the list. I think that vision quests could prove to be
helpful plot devices in an adventure. I will be running the two published
NAN adventures later this year, and I would like to incorporate the
tradition of the vision quests into them. Most of you would say to do an
Astral quest but I want to make the vision quest different. With respect
for present tribal rituals and ceremonies,(I'm a tribal member) I would
like to capture more Native American spirituality in this specialized
version of an astral quest. Thank you for taking the time to read this
post. I would love suggestions ideas and other input on how to make this
work.
