I hope you don't mind that I stole your idea (if you do, I'll remove it). It's a sweet campaign suggestion. I can't say I ever started a planar campaign at first level, but many of my existing campaigns morphed into planar games over the years. It's a unique challenge to tackle the broad scope of such settings. I've always found that combining 'the basics' with such worlds works well. A dungeon can still be a dungeon even if it's on Mecanus.  @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=54364" target="_blank">DrunkonDuty</a> : Thanks. It's never too late to throw a new campaign at your players. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Sometimes I'll even just run a 'one-shot' to see if I like something enough to make it into a campaign.  @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6703703" target="_blank">DancingSatyr</a> : Well said. One quote which sticks out in my memory is, "Cliches are cliches because they were once so popular that everyone used them." I listed the village and the dungeon first for a reason. Tried, tested, and true. No matter how many games I run, I always eventually get a hankering to play a 'classic' style game.I hope I didn't come across as saying that dungeons and villages are no good. I do tend to make fun of anything I can get my hands on, but that's usually because I really enjoy the thing.  @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6748808" target="_blank">LWDLiz</a> : Thank you! It's good to know that I'm not the only one that started out using #1 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=8243" target="_blank">doghead</a> : Sounds pretty darn cool. I'm sure your players love having such a rich world to adventure in. I think some of the most enjoyable campaigns are those where the players feel their characters have a real impact on the world.Also, your game obviously doesn't follow the types 'exactly' which is always a good thing. The more unique a game is, the better.I also really like your idea of having a 'problem' as a starting point. The potential for 'problems' is similar to the potential for 'conflicts' and I think that's one of the best basic building blocks for a great story. Kudos!***Thanks for the great comments, everyone. Some really great ideas in there.</blockquote>
