[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 8292697, member: 15882"] I was playing in a game where we ran into a practically-immortal wizard who'd accidently trapped himself inside his own pocket dimension. He asked for help to escape. That got me thinking. I'm imagining some kind of catastrophe that happens. hundreds of thousands or millions will die. Then a Powerful arch-mage opens up a pocket dimension and the people escape into it. This mage can control every aspect of the demesne: weather, looks, features. Everything. He makes a perfect habitat for the people he's saved. Fast-forward 1000 years later. The players live in this place. The wizard is immortal (somehow...a lich? Wish? Strange Pacts?) and is worshipped as a God King. What kinds of cool adventures can I plan? What do I need to build into the world? [LIST] [*]a cult that believes King is a false god. There is a better place where greater gods exist. [*]a whole religion revolving around the God-King. What does this religion look like? Do clerics of this god get powers? [*]an elite force of Knights dedicated to protecting the God-King [*]What kinds of laws are there? bans on certain kinds of magic? (we don't want anyone accidently dispelling the dimension or traveling outside and finding out the truth) [*]What does crime and trade between cities look like in a land that always has perfect weather and great crops? [*]There is a place that is considered unholy that no-one must enter (The exit to the demesne...) What is this place? What does it look like? [*]What was the catastrophe? Was it a natural disaster? Invading Aliens? Nuclear War? Disease? Zombie Apocalypse? What does this place look like now? [*]what do actual Clerics look like? Are other religions banned? [*]what is the rising conflict? Is the mage going mad and the world is starting to crumble? Is the catastrophe from the outside making its way in? [/LIST] I kind of like the idea of the group doing adventures in the 'world' but slowly finding out that things are not as they seem. That there are cracks on the edges. Then they find out there's 'another world' and, possibly, that their God-King isn't a god at all. This is total homebrew so I'm prepared to throw away the regular Forgotten Realms (or any) Pantheon. Limit various Planes and play with the setting (high fantasy, post apocalyptic,). I imagine it will be high fantasy with some other flavour blended in. Does anyone want to take a stab to help create something? [/QUOTE]
