Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shallown" data-source="post: 684454" data-attributes="member: 1368">I've always wanted to do a campaign where the characters are under an oppressive government and are more or less slaves.  Were weapons are outlawed as well as magic. Some ideas I had for it include magic hunting dogs that sense magic over long distances and then find the spot where it was cast and scent the caster. I pictured a teired cliff city over the ocean that had deep mines in the cliff face and downward. I thought it would be created by a meteor and the cliff face was the rim of the crater and the city was actually mining the ore from the meteor. the trade was handled on the land above the crater and though the city was not well thought of the meteor was the only means of getting metal ore of any quality. Also the tiers are very segregated and controlled the higher you get the higher society you were so a person could play a noble and someone else a miner and know each other through the rebellion/underground. The noble would stand to lose if found out like their family killed and house sold off etc so everyone was at risk.The players could do lots of things from merely planning to escape to inciting a rebellion. Training in the sewers and smuggling weapons and food through the teirs all sorts of fun things.The city emperor was going to be a lich like mage alive and unkillable for a thousand years. he had been assassinated etc so many times the people have given up on killing him outright. Those are just a few ideas. The reason I haven't gone with it is I don't think my group would enjoy it much as it would be very dark and very intense with betrayal at every corner.Its an idea that needs fleshing out but I have done a lot of the mental ground laying already this isn't nearly all I have thought through.Later</blockquote>
