Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dausuul" data-source="post: 6329683" data-attributes="member: 58197"> Hell yes to all of these.Other changes I'd like:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Another setting search like the one that produced Eberron. I'm no fan of steampunk/magipunk, but Eberron is a really innovative setting, one of the best produced for D&D. It is also, as far as I know, the last new setting produced for D&D, and that was ten years ago. Time for some new blood!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Modularize the planes. That is, describe each plane without reference to any others, then have a section on cosmologies that suggests different ways of hooking the planes together--as well as leaving the option to "roll your own." So if you want, you can have Pandemonium, the Nine Hells, and Elysium, but junk the rest of the Great Wheel, and it won't have any impact on the three planes you keep (admittedly, a little finessing would be required to handle things like the Blood War, but it could be done).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Have archvillains with more interesting motives and personalities than "power-hungry megalomaniac," and put them front and center in major adventures. Renegade angels brutally purifying humanity in preparation for the final conflict with Hell (they think it's necessary, and maybe they're right). A ruthless archmage willing to destroy the world so he can be be reunited with his lost son*. A goblin prophet who believes his people have been crapped on by the gods and intends to redress the balance, in alliance with a whimsical lich whose primary motivation is indulging his sadistic sense of humor**.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">This is venturing more into mechanics territory, but I'd like at least one sourcebook that really develops monstrous PC options, including rules and guidelines for running a campaign around PC vampires, dragons, trolls, etc. And I don't mean dhampyrs or dragonborn or anything like that--I mean actual vampires and dragons. Obviously the whole thing would be stamped with a big ol' "Use At Your Own Risk" for the DM.</li> </ul>[SIZE=-2]*"Once Upon a Time" is a great place to look for villains with unusual motives.**"Order of the Stick" ain't bad, either.[/SIZE]</blockquote>
