Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kaodi" data-source="post: 2869841" data-attributes="member: 1231">What About Plot?I suppose if we were going to cast an Iconic movie, we'd also have to come up with a plot and setting for it... For setting, while I want to go Greyhawk, perhaps it would be better to go unique, since the standard v3.5 pantheon is *seriously* paired down from there. Doesn't mean that some elements can't be borrowed from that setting though.And for plot... um... I don't think I would make it quie *save the world* level, but it would be important. Let's say kingdom to the northwest of the heroes home has recently been overrun by the armies of the half-demon son of a general or servitor of Orcus. This is all fine and well, because no one around the heroes is really *that* concerned about it yet, but then a strange approaches the party (maybe in a tavern, but perhaps it would be better to draw the party together first, not have them pre-exist). This stranger is a skilled sorcerer or wizard, and happens to be the fully human older brother of the half-demon. He has brought the party together, the best individuals he could find on short notice, to attack and infiltrate the stronghold of his brother, which he will teleport them to. Dungeon crawl ensues, with more horror elements than a standard fantasy movie (undead and fiends mixed in with human, half-orc and goblinoid mercenaries). Of course, the dungeon crawl would have to feature its own sub-plots and stories, but eventually they would get to the end, to find that the half-demon isn't there. They do find out where he is though, in some -really cool climatic battle environment- nearby, which they can reach without too much more trouble. Fight ensues, they emerge victorius (with at least one character death), and they avert whatever disaster which was about to ensue. The brother then arrives to pick up the pieces, and ends up taking over the area, in a bit of a twist (while not evil, he is ambitious, and this was part of his plan from the beginning). Movie ends, and while the main plot has been resolved, there remain some loose ends that could be used for a sequel, though there is generally closure in case there isn't one.</blockquote>
