Health Management is going to be the death of me.

I am beyond done with these idiots at "CareMore." Last fall I scheduled my annual physical with my PCP. He's sent lab orders in, which I can get done the same day as the labs ordered by my hemo-oncologist. I see Dr. Morgan (PCP) and Dr. Agrawal (Oncology) about a week apart. The nice thing is all my current doctors can see all the current results and notes.

Today, CareMore calls. They haven't seen me at one of their centers in a while and wanted to schedule a physical. I tell them that I'm having that done by my PCP. They whine. I lower the boom.

My insurance pays for ONE full physical a year. And I have to trust a doctor before I can relax enough for a full exam. I have no idea who these doctors are, they are *not* part of my care team, and why should I have to go through this twice, including a second set of labs, when they can just see the results from the doctor I trust?

Guess what? THEY CAN'T SEE THOSE RECORDS!!!! This alleged 'health management group" doesn't have access to my records the way my actual insurance provider can.

As a reminder, these are the same morons who tried to charge me for surgery I had years ago and that was paid in full by MediCal.

And thus, a campaign idea was born.

Having thoroughly read through Eberron twice now, A campaign idea is slowly gelling in my Jell-O brain.

The jungle region of Q'barra is experiencing a boom. Rich deposits of the magical dragonshards are being found, but the conditions and locals are both dangerous. Cyrian refugees, dispossessed wanders, and wanderers all gravitate to the port city of Newthrone, and then north to the dragonshard fields.

The campaign starts in Sharn, the City of Towers. A functionary from House Kundarak has a problem. A fellow member of the House was sent to oversee some promising mines but has gone silent, and what few reports are getting out are. . . disturbing.

The mission is not simple. The party will have to cross Khorvaire, find their way to Newthrone, find this rogue agent, and deal with him. This means plenty of side adventures and mini-quests.

Yes, it's Heart of Darkness (or Apocaolypse Now if you prefer) on a fantasy stage, but The long travel portion is a great way to introduce the setting and its lands, and it sets up the further campaign with House Kundarak as a patron. Who knows, it's easy enough to find a way for a "The End?" with the villain. Maybe he is swept away by a flash flood that forces everyone to scramble for survival, or triggers the collapse of his palace, seemingly dooming himself, but has the party leaves. . . was that his laughter? The wind? Having a recurring foe is a big part of the pulp feeling of the setting.

So, I'm going to need at least one dwarf with the Mark of Warding, maybe a Valenarian elf to act as a guide and go-between when they pass through the war-bands of the elves. . .

4-6 players. Probably be on roll20.net
