[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 3924591, member: 1125"] I vote 'general story line' but was waivering over 'several options' IMC I have two factors driving things First the Setting is one of islands divided into three broad 'zones' - 'Old Empire', 'New Colonies' and 'Wild Frontier' Each of those zones has a theme of likely adventures (ie the Old Empire is well established and conservative with a lot of political machinations, the New Colonies are still establishing themselves and interacting with locals (mortal and non-mortal) and the Frontier is largely unexplored and dangerous). The PCs start in the New Colonies but have the choice of moving about any of the three zones where different adventures and campaigns develop (ie several options) However Overall of this is a metaplot about the God of Destruction who is trapped in the underworld using earthly agents to recover artifacts scattered across the islands and which will allow him to open a gate into the mortal world. The PCs have no idea about the metaplot but have heard of some of the Agents (ie the BBEGs*) and have adventures involving them. However the Metaplot only becomes relevant if the PCs recover one of the artifacts if they don't then that story may never be resolved *Two of these agents have been indirectly encountered one is the leader of a Cannibal Cult who are moving across the New Colonies seeking converts (those who refuse are sacrificed), the PCs resisted one such 'conversion'/raid. Another BBEG is the more subtle Nightwing who is worshiped by Kenku who the PCs encountered when exploring the Southern Oceans (which lie beyond the Wild Frontier) [/QUOTE]
