This actually relates to one thing I REALLY want to know about the Shadow Power Source. Does it deal with Spirits? This is a perplexing question for me cause spirits of the dead fits quite nicely into Shadowfell, Necromancer, Illusions (Ghosts can seem like Illusions), Death, etc. vibe of what...

Well with April Fools Day here Wizard has gifted us with a Dungeon Delve with our beloved 4e mascot the Gnome and Francis. But it is not just them who return, a whole cast of D&D creatures are seen: Al-mi'rij Brain Mole Campestri Carbunkle Enveloper Flail Snail Flumph Kercpa Stench Kow Umpleby...

Shall check it out. Doing google searches/wikipedia to start. Apparently it is being made into a animated film too. Ron Perlman is the voice of Conan.

While those in the slums of The Wall I don't think would have much love of the city. They probably would be the most surrounded by the dirt, garbage, lack of space, etc. Merchants and Gypsies though that use The Wall for safety I can imagine using the term/viewing the city in a brighter light...

I dunno how much awe and reverence there would be for the city however by the common person. You consider that generation upon generation has lived within it ever since they were forced there by the dangers of the cataclysm. That means people would grow used to the city. Begin to see its...

Yeah that sounds good. The military could call it by its old defence name, "The Sea Wall", or perhaps by the actual type of wall it is. I dunno what exactly will be the kind of wall. I agree with nobility/guilds calling it by its full name. As well as "The Wall" for common folk.

I think too you don't need concrete classes to gain the benefits of a class system. The biggest in my eyes being some measure of balance, ease of setting up encounters, and such. Just easier to compare math. I think what could be done is have character creation be: -Race -Power Source -Concept...

Been mulling it over and more and more I am wanting to establish various setting ideas to implant into the campaign plot whenever it comes into being. Most of the campaign will probably be within the city, but rumours, plotlines or when they do leave the city will need ideas I can use. So I am...

While maybe not entirely classless I wouldn't be surprised if we saw what makes up a class get divided up into multiple different aspects we pick from at character creation. Sorta a "make-your-own" class concept.

I wouldn't say he is a God in the D&D sense of the word. But he is actually a extremely good example of a God in my campaigns that have Gods: They rule over a particular aspect of reality. With specific powers within that region. So in this case the oceans and binding of souls. They live on the...

I dunno unless one of the new Power Sources has familiars. I doubt we would see a specifically Arcane-centric section in the PHB3.

That is why I adore mystery games, I can set up lots and lots of hooks (clues and such) and scatter them about with some set-pieces here and there to get momentum going. But always thanks to it being something the players need uncover I can have another plot hook ready if one they have uncovered...

The moss could work quite well with the overgrown regions of the Sea Wall (don't want flames catching them on fire). Hmm... The salt could be very reflective as well, would make a nice effect with the sandfalls. Continual flames could exist nicely alongside normal oil lanterns for those that...

Perhaps Guilds (either from this world or planar) who in the past used to supply this besieged kingdom with food are spreading lies and rumours about the Meat-Pit to try and destroy it. Perhaps the populace simply distrusts magic, and consider it unnatural and abhor anything to do with it. This...

How open are Illithids in Kire? Does not just the trade of brains, but the simple existence of Illithids need be kept under wraps? If so I imagine there are special areas where they can appear, what if various Gith factions find out about this. They could perhaps try to sabotage the Meat-Pit...

OH! Another aspect, I definitely want to emphasize "vertical gameplay", any gameplay, mechanics or fluff stuff to emphasize this be oh so wonderful. While the war will be semi-more conventional, I plan on that being more a breather in the middle of the campaign. The beginning and end being more...

Thanks for all the ideas and glad people find the idea neat. If I ever remember the name of the show that spawned this idea, I will make sure to post it. Was very cool, also sorta funny. You had people's washrooms having wonderfully carved masonry from the medieval period on it and such. Quite...

Oh, look up, "sheet meat", this is basically your concept brought to potential real-life. They are beginning to figure out how to make just slabs of meat.

I could so see you making a analogy to today with fear/worry of genetically altered/created food. Perhaps something weird in the alchemical recipee that causes some reaction in people who eat it. The meat isn't mindless, rumours are spreading of slabs of the meat conjoining together into...

One issue I am having is trying to figure out the military. Besides for having dragons (with a dragon rider) and riflemen and cannons I haven't figured out that much stuff. The issue is, there is a big split between how the military be operating. On one hand they need to defend the Sea Wall and...
