The philosophies of the technological future will be complicated, specialized things. E.g. see the notes here: [transhumanist setting riff] the locusts come [Archive] - RPGnet Forums Reason Principia Infecta

Mock up a tentacled monster that you never see clearly. Attacks in the fog, say. Steal the stats for a low-level monster for each of the tentacles, then make it a PC versus tentacles fight. We've all seen that movie. Set the number of tentacles appropriately to challenge the PCs. You have your...

There are a bunch of ideas in the material for the two main cities of the Enclave setting: Port Three Stones At the 20,000' level, Port is a city of thieves, players, and seafolk, while Three Stones is a city of priests, nobles, and seers. Port is chaotic, Three Stones is lawful. Beneath that...

... Hmm, sounds like a more Planescaped (and therefore superior by definition) version of my Enclave setting, in which some few of the Ammander people were brought across the Unending Sea by the Magi to settle a city called Port in a realm that touches on all realms. Similar core cosmology...

Or, less openly, you might liberate the City of One Thousand Children idea. Needs a bit of elvenization, though, to make the endless revels less human: Reason Principia Infecta

The city is between hills in the center of a once-mighty forest. The trees here have lost their leaves and most of their branches to a strange rot, and have become petrified in but a short time after. The undergrowth is all gone save for strange, ropy thornbushes. Strange runes are marked upon...

The laughing madness from beyond that causes its victims to foam and flail, slaying all the unwary nearby, or clawing themselves to death, and which leaps upon that death to the nearest poor doomed fool. Reason Principia Infecta

... Giants should eat sea-serpents and other great monsters of spectaular size hauled from the deep. And anything else they can convince into their mouths along the way for a little variety, but you can't make a life dining on things so small you'd not even notice them flattened underfoot. It...

... Details are what make it all worth the while. It's also hard and time consuming to produce good detail - which is why the best resources are those that can be mined for the sort of details that make things spring to live convincingly. Reason Principia Infecta

... Evocative but similar-to-reality titles are good. I use that for the Wohken of Spirits of Rock and Sky: Lutnen, Capnen, Amral, and so forth. Reason Principia Infecta
