I just got this idea today while, I hate to admit it but I was listening to a filksong, and the campaign idea just struck me. Went something like this, "Our lady needs an honor guard, an escort, and a crew!" And it hit me to at least propose for a One Off and maybe a campaign to my group.
Everybody has dead characters, lots of dead characters if they've been playing a while. So take up the story of these characters. Newly risen into the afterlife on the plane of Ysgard with an honor guard of their fallen foes. Who must now battle their way through the afterlife to found their own Hall in the Land of Fallen Heroes where the only law is might and sword.
So mechanically the players pick dead characters of a suitable level they're fond of and each of them get the leadership feat for free. Their cohort is one of the more memorable unique villians they killed and a small horde of more generic followers all martially oriented. Doesn't matter that they were villians, you keep what you kill, they have to follow the one who originally vanquished them. So they'd need some sort of absolute loyalty feature(I'll have to check the books for that one I think I remember something in Chaositech that could be modified to fit).
Anyway it just hit me and I had to post it in case anyone else got inspired by it.
