I think you could do it either way. You could have the teleport element already a part of the defenses or not, there are ways to work it into your current storyline either way. Option 1: No teleport. You stick with your idea about his having built in defenses. While I agree a shop like this...

Outsiders or eldritch works within the campaign concepts. Anyone have a tasty suggestion in this area? This has moved up in priority since the PCs are making a beeline for the area. Previously they have been meandering and have been easily distracted. For some reason they actually sound like...

I have a region in my world somewhat geographically isolated that I envision as a savage land with marauding packs of warped humans (I had in mind the reavers from Firefly, I even call them reavers in the game-which I am happy to report scares the crap out of the players!). My original concept...

Couple of storylines I've used in the past. One of the players was running a lothario. He hooked up with a beautiful woman who happened to have a room nearby. Upon disrobing and hopping into bed, the woman was revealed as a doppleganger and the bed a mimic. They were working for a mindflayer...

if politics is your game, how about simple conflict of interest? PC is distantly related to a rival for the throne. When connection is revealed, they are released. This allows it to go either way, self-fulfilling prophecy where the PC now wants the king to lose his throne or PC busts his butt...

bump to move this up so i can find it to work on it!

I guess I should have added this, but was going too fast. On the topic of paper money, or exotic materials, you have to bear in mind the purpose and reach of money. On the paper front we see it today, you get factors like inflation and counterfitting. When it is just paper (or something else...

I'm currently populating a campaign world and am facing similar issues. I've placed orc tribes in two areas, foothills that are similar to your description (although more northernly, so winter snows are more of an issue than summer heat) and a boggish area east of that. I'm basically looking...

Here is the posting I did for my current campaign. Coinage in the Fallen Empire As trade dominates these decisions, coinage in the areas of the Fallen Empire (regardless of origin) is typically referred to by a common name. These names were transplanted from Antcash, with the exception of...

Combination post and question I've created a calendar for use within game. The base details are as follows: Calendars in the Fallen Empire The Imperial Calendar dates back to the establishment of the Kingdom of Antelon. Thus dates are referred to by Imperial Reckoning. The current year is...

Piggybacking on the combining powers and draining the Gandelmerlin (or Elmergand or whatever) you could have your big baddie find some way to drain him at a distance and over time. So the PCs first become aware when said Gandelguy summons them and they notice he seems to have aged a bit, and...

Don't forget the down side of heroes. While they are good at going in attempting to whack various and sundry evils, let's not overlook the fact that oftentimes they unleash (always unintentionally I hear!) horrors that other (let's call them smarter) people leave alone...They also tend to stir...

Still looking for input on the Godwar front and potential interesting non-human leaders (or powers behind the throne) and such. In the meantime, I have played fairly loose with the guns in this game so far and am tying up loose ends. As I mentioned before I have guns being rare but not...

Seven Strongholds by Penumbra might work for you. It presents a variety of different castles and such with enough info to allow a siege storyline.

Yeah, I looked at elements of the Roman Empire (and later British Empire!) when imagining the Imperial presence in this area. I've also read a good portion of "The Camulod Chronicles"! In fact in the back history of the world the reason for the pull out of the Imperial presence is to deal with...
