[QUOTE="Yair, post: 2778809, member: 10913"] I think this is a good idea (and I like the name). It creates a possibility for tension on all scales, at the DMs control. I would seek an "evil version" of each of these two world powers, with hidden black resources and apalling secrets. All optional, so the DM can choose what to take and what not to. This suggests two regions to focus on, IMO: two to four states in the northeastern continent, where skirmishes abound and can escalate into open warfare; and one or two states in the buffer zone between the two world powres, trying to live through the storm. I am not sure how this coincides with more regular adventures, however. Like a monster attacking a village, dungeoncrawling, and so on. Great. :) Anything can be released as OGC, ""Open Game Content" means the game mechanic and includes the methods, procedures, processes and routines to the extent such content does not embody the Product Identity and is an enhancement over the prior art [B]and any additional content clearly identified as Open Game Content by the Contributor[/B], and means any work covered by this License, including translations and derivative works under copyright law, but specifically excludes Product Identity. " But copyrights free clip-art works just as well. :) Agreed. I'll join the chorus of "no one", with the caveat of an optional Conspiracy Theory thrown in for good measure. I'm thinking of rival factions of Mind-Flayer rip-offs and liches, but hey, I'm strange that way. I agree we need to do most work on lower-level stuff, but I'm not quite ready to plunge there yet without a broader picture. I would disagree with Jurgen, and say to include it. It wouldn't hurt leaving a plothook for the DM to hang a Ptolus or Banewarrens adventure on. Generally speaking, I think we should not rely on non-SRD sources, but in this case leaving a mysterious Spire somewhere isn't exactly a bad thing. Would you still think that if you were a cleric of one :p I initially didn't think we should be so extreme, but on second thought I agree. We should largely limit ourselves to our own creations. If there is something that's appealing and appropriate somewhere, like a class or feat that's just right, we can always ask the publisher if we can use it. I'd say static. Having to build up the current situation should be difficult enough. :) After some development I could see a "Future Timeline" as Jurgen suggests, however. If anyone wishes to join the Wiki, just give me your email (or email me with it) and I'll send you an invitation. I'll be very happy to do so :) Yair [/QUOTE]
