I'm A Banana
Potassium-Rich
Just want to guage interest before I pour my time into something that may end up only amusing myself (I'm already doing that with Final Fantasy d20, thankyouverymuch. ).
I've recently got a brainstorm for a fantasy setting based loosely off of biblical time periods, cultures, geography, etc. Perhaps blame the Holy Week leading up to Easter.
I imagine it as a volatile world. A vast empire, cold and distant, rules over your home and your family. Religious people hold sway over large tracts of population, morally and materially. Saviours appear, Prophets descend and ascend daily. Revolution is heard in mere whispers in the air, because people get hung for these sorts of things.
I want to plumb the deapths of the Big Three mideast religions, as well as more ancient traditions, less for interpretation and moralization than in the same way that, say, Greek or Japanese myths have been plumbed -- for game inspiration.
I want to make it a world full of intrigue, full of dangerous desert creatures, rife with ancient lost civilizations, brimming with religious passion, overflowing with interesting people. Miracles. Prophets. Faith.
Call it Jerusalem d20. What do I care? I just want an evocative campaign setting out of this!
What do other people think? Good? Bad? Would you use it? Please, tell me. And, if you would like it, how would you like it best? We all know publishing is the best, but I'm not a company. PDF's? In how many different documents? I can make them available in the same area as Videogamed20, I think...
