Why don't you show us what you have so far and we can work on it?I am really digging the idea of a nightmare domain, though I don't want it to be more powerful than other domains. I don't think you necessarily have to be crazy to want to use or be influenced by nightmares. In fact, what would be truly scary would be for a perfectly sane and rational (albiet evil) person to use nightmares to scare and intimidate all kinds of people into doing his/her bidding. Sadly, there are very few representative spells. We could possibly add one or two spells to the list to make up for this. No more than that though. I don't want for us to bite off more than we can chew. And before writing up new spells, let's try to fill the domain with existing spells. After that, we can look at the spells on the list and come up with new ones to replace those that are too forced if we wish.Hafrogman, re: The Dreamer, that idea sounds very inspired. The power of dreams to influence reality being a true threat in this world could be something fairly unique. I also like the idea of dreams forming a bridge between Law and Chaos. Perhaps dreams take place in a plane that is simultaneously coterminous with both Limbo and Mechanus. I think we may have something with this dream theme.Ok, we have several good ideas to work on, let's develop those before we go too much further. We have the dreamblade class, a nightmare domain, and we still need some work on the lands surrounding Narovan. So far we have the Dyne River and the trade town of West Fork, which we could say is dependent upon Narovan.Voda Vosa, sorry if I didn't reply earlier but you are welcome to join in. Right now we are working with the idea of city-states or small kingdoms in a small region of the world. If you want to start adding some details of a neighboring far east asia-inspired empire or city-state that would be fine. I do have a couple of recommendations based on what you have suggested so far. Rather than taking some real-world elements and blending them together (perhaps incoherently) use inspiration to come up with a few key elements that can be worked into the milieu. It doesn't need to look like you just mashed the Ming dynasty with Nobunaga. Also, I don't want the rules to be too divergent from the SRD; just enough spice to make the "boring" SRD lively, interesting, and of course, fresh.</blockquote>
