train networks

As the Dungeon Master it is your job to create a network. To do so make a copy of your map and create stations and link them all up. Sometimes you may also make a train depot as it could be useful to the story.

Remember this is a guide your train network could hardly have any stations or a lot

story points

A train could have many different story points in Dungeons and Dragons. Trains could just be a way of transport or they could be a large part of your story.

An example - you could hold a murder mystery on the train, or to foil or execute a robbery. Have fun coming up with them. To help you with this process I have come up with the examples below.

The heist

Your group of adventurers have been hired to steal a precious jewel from the mail compartment of the train. You are being payed for this job by a crime lord. When, and, if the adventurers manage to grab the jewel it transports them to another dimension.

Murder on the Dufry express

Your group of adventurers are travelling on Baron von Dufrys most exclusive train when they discover a dead body. It is up to the adventurers to find the murderer before they strike again!

The protectors

Your group of adventurers have been hired to protect the train from bandits as you are carrying valuable cargo. The bandits manage to hijack the train and destroy it. Its up to your adventurers to still deliver the cargo before the bandits catch up!
