[QUOTE="Novem5er, post: 4124242, member: 57859"] What about the Death-Gate Cycle by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman? You know, their [I]other[/I] series? For those not in the know, basically the world was split into 4 different worlds, based on the different elements. Each world has a little of all the other elements in it, but an abundance of one in particular. Earth: Giant caverns linked by tunnels. Everything is heated by giant columns that transfer energy from the realm of fire... but lately the columns are failing. Air: Floating continents circling a vast, empty space. Here, water is scarce, brought only by infrequent rains. The great geyser that used to shoot water into the heavens stopped flowing long ago. Fire: An inverted globe surrounding an ever-burning sun. Completely disconnected from the other worlds, the jungles of this planet have strangled everything, leaving only ruins. Water: Cities exist within giant bubbles, deep in an endless ocean. Life swims everywhere, but what darkness hides in the depths? And connecting everything is the Nexus, a twilight realm of endless fields and peace. But let us not forget the Labyrinth... where the exiled Patryns are hunted endlessly. (ps) I like the Zelda idea. Call me a sinner, but I've always wanted to run a video-gamey D&D campaign where the whole world was a microcosm of a bigger world. You know how in Zelda you can go from a freezing mountain top to a hellish desert in just a few minutes? How everybody in town has their own story to tell (all 12 people)? Heh, it'd be neat. [/QUOTE]
