[QUOTE="DMMo, post: 4112690, member: 62876"] This is a great thread -- I'm continuously amazed by the creativity of DMs out there. I've undertaken a similar endeavor, constructing a 4E "points of light" campaign following the excellent rules and guidelines found in Ray Winninger's old "Dungeoncraft" articles. I posted it over in the "Plots, Places & Rogues" forums instead of the 4E section. Anyone who is interested can check it out here: [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=221782]4E Homebrew: Geirwyn[/URL]. I plan to follow this thread closely. I suddenly find myself inspired to perhaps pick up the "land of the dead" theme myself once my campaign runs its course. By then the PCs should be halfway through the paragon levels (or perhaps at the doorstep of epic levels). Maybe I can draw some inspiration from the [I]Terminator[/I] movies and series in that regard. My campaign is going to feature an invasion of alien monsters at some point. Perhaps in response to this threat, the wizards of a mighty city-state create a powerful army of the dead to guard the city walls. At some point, however, one or more of the dead become sentient. Like the machines in [I]Terminator[/I], the undead create more (and better) undead and wage a war of annihilation on the living races. Of course, these races have already been weakened in their previous battles with alien monsters. Maybe I could even foreshadow this turn of events, again borrowing from the [I]Terminator[/I] world.

Only much later in the campaign will they realize the true source of the mysterious "random encounter" with the undead that almost ended in a TPK.... [/QUOTE]
