Post your new campaign ideas here

Is this a collaboration with another DM like Oak or just yourself at the helm? I'll have to think about this. Right now I'm in a lot of neck/shoulder pain so I think I'm going away from the computer for a bit...

Sounds interesting! I'm on my phone at the moment so I won't type too much here but I think a campaign could be based off the Fear Mythos.

This is another brainstorming for the campaign... just my thoughts, please suggest any changes or use my ideas and make a better (more original) one. Its hard to come up with cataclysmic storylines that havent been done.  It may be too epic of scale as Sting pointed out to do a campaign like this.




The old Gods, thought utterly destroyed in the War of the Gods, actually survived in essence only. This force of divine power over the years has lain dormant, mixing and growing in strength.

Now, cosmic anomalies have caused this force to stir. Though itself soulless and unthinking it has begun to permeate living, and dead, creatures alike. Taking their own bodies and souls hostage like some sort of parasite and creating an army of destruction bent on only one thing... spreading.

The people of Lomar have begun calling this phenomenon the Soul Plague. For while the newly taken retain all their skills and abilities, eventually those whose souls are consumed are utterly destroyed, their lifeforce scattered into Oblvion. The gods in their infinite wisdom have realized they must reluctantly work together, lest they lose their followers and thus their own power. With no Gods, the world would be completely erased. Thus each devotes some of their chosen to warding off this swarm of destruction. They believe that this band of heroes, each with his or her own outlook, and each tied to a God of different spheres of power, may as one unravel the mysteries of this plague and reverse it.

The gods would come themselves, however, their power is too diminished already. For while some would work together, at the gods' bidding, most lifeforms have abandoned the gods and are forced into a state of utter panic, thinking to raise great armies and amass as much power for themselves in effort to ward of this horde on their own. Anything in their way is merely an obstacle to their own salvation, and must be destroyed.

Yeah what I was suggesting would be evil and good at the same time. I don't think they have to necessarily get along...just not kill each other and achieve the goal. So each holds some "key"

I put the bit in at the end because I thought having some other enemies that aren't part of the actual "plague" would be good for low levels and gradually introduce plot. You could have orc warlord s, evil wizards, anything you want, they would just start to unveil the main plot

Okay here is my idea for the start of a campaign, or the initial start of one.

Keep in mind that both Oak and I would like to keep your character motivations and background between us. So Limit what you share with the other players. We are hoping for more character background and direction.

All of the players are the children (Biologically or adopted) of a once great adventurer who earned the title of Thane. Being an old man his children have gone forth into to the world to find their own fortunes. His children all very different each went down a different path.

The Thane as he was known by many was known far and wide for his jack of all trades nature and retired from his adventuring some years ago to settle and raise his children. Thanes are made not born unlike other royalty often due to some great service that was performed. They are land owners, given land and those that live on it usually as a reward. The Thane left Thel Dinge Many years ago managing it from afar.

Now news of his sudden and untimely death has reached his children and they must come back to attend his funeral. Of course there is the matter of his inheritance as well as taking over his responsibilities as well as investigating his strange and abrupt end. What is to become of Thel Dinge? Or the Thanes reported great wealth?

Yes brand new characters who may be event locked... you can share the basics of your character but we will come up with a few questions about your characters wants and background later... that is, if this is to the liking of everyone. One of the things I liked about E.D/ pruvia campaign was the way people were able to transform the keep. So similiar things will be able to happen with Thel Dinge. If you can convince a blacksmith to move to town that will generate more goods to buy and sell. if you discover a special type of fish that you could bring to market... the whole economy of the town will improve

Thel Dinge is between Port alton and Portsmith on the northern coast. It is far to the north and things will likely be a little colder there. As far as the Thane's race we have not determined that yet because we wanted things to be open to discussion. The only thing I can say is that he will not be a gnome... because I hates them... Hates them forever
