[QUOTE="dave_o, post: 1154106, member: 2933"] [I]What rules govern the spirit world?[/I] For this, I'd go the route of some sort of deific decree -- much like the Ten Commandments. Things like "A spirit shall not do this...", or "A spirit will always do this..." I'd do rules for them concerning hurting the living, influencing the living, etc. [I]Do the players actually shift into the spirit world when they fall asleep?[/I] Yes! :D [I]Do gods reside there?[/I] No, since I think your spirit world should be the Astral -- so they live in the respective Outer Planes. [I]What rules govern dream interpretation?[/I] Metaphors, metaphors, metaphors. You could come across a vision of a snake coiling around a fox. What could it mean? Maybe Jake the Snake and the druid with the fox animal companion are in a relationship. Maybe Jake the Snake is going to kill that druid. Maybe the Snake cult is going to attack, or get in bed with, the druids. Who knows? [I]Should lucid dreaming be a seperate skill (as in the Manual of the Planes)?[/I] Yeah. [I]Should the spirit world resemble the Astral plane, the celestial plane, the ethereal plane, Hades, Limbo, "the Region of Dreams" from MotP, the Spirit world from OA, or a mixture of all of these?[/I] Astral, methinks.
