[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 1097178, member: 4892"] I plan to keep them as fantasy creatures, but their magic items would use modern day devices as their focus. For example, in the movie "They Live" there is an alien tech watch that transports aliens in distress to an underground complex. In my campaign this would be a watch of dimension door or something similar. All great ideas that I'll keep in mind. I plan to start the campaign as more of a mystery genre and gradually increase the violence towards the end. Alot of combat for "average" heroes would mar the feel I'm going for. The heroes in my campaign are otherwise normal people that get involved when they realize something very strange and wrong is going on. The main character in "They Live" is a drifter/construction worker that figures out what is going on and wants to stop or at least reveal it. I think if things go well the charcaters won't get their hands on any githyanki "tech" until mid- to high-level and I'll definately let them use it. The gith are here to suck our resources dry. They push capatilism to its limits finding overly greedy humans to work with them to "better" society by giving those who go with the flow a higher standard of living. The genius of the githyanki lich-queen was to actually get the inhabitants of this new-found realm to help her bleed it dry, hopefully without casualty to her followers.
