In the back of the Dreamlands Lounge sits the Reflection Booth — a mirror that shows only future truths.Dracula saw fire. Cleopatra saw Mars. Adam saw nothing.And Lovecraft? He saw someone else smiling back...
Gives it a real Might and Magic Feel
Either that or starlost. :p

but yeah,
blackmoor technically did this idea first and involved froggies.
I guess it is determined by the alien ship and how it crashed.
Is it a spelljammer, the beagle, the barrier peaks ship or...
I was listening to Greyhawk Grognard and he was grumbling how he thought it tainted the barrier peaks and made them assume it was just a place of tech.
so want to invert it.
lets build a fantasy world where the focal point is a space ship crashing on the planet
what was it like before?
What...
Bogeys running black-market bug zappers, Elves powered by banjos & bug lights, Ghost Magpies stealing your keys and your dignity, and Trollitariot fixing everything while complaining loudly. Explore Part 2.
Come meet the neighbours...
I'm inspired.
I'll write up a white paper first and then I'll see how hard it can be to widdle something up.
Feeling the need to stretch my legs.

Masque Gargoyle
Amphitheater/Emotion-Born Gargoyle
Large Elemental (Gargoyle)...

When the stars are right, even the universe files for bankruptcy.

Essentially, I want a Baldur's Gate-type game to be done there.
It was the original heartland of the realms, key connection to the underdark and it's close to the Moonsea, Cormyr and Sembia
And if it happens to allow Saurials or Stonelander Minotaurs as PCs...so be it. :D
So how would you...
