Epic Adventurers around the corner

[Dagger75]

The highest level person in my group is 17th level. they are looking forward to Epic level play. I got it all planned out out on how they will become epic but I have no idea what do once they get there.

I plan starting them out in the city of Union, but I have no adventures or nothing palnned. I just don't know what kind stuff epic people do. The first things will probably be get this thingymabod, deliver this whatmacallit to this person type stuff but I would rather have some cool adventure or even campaign ideas.

Anybody out there got some ideas??

The ELH's list of campaign/adventure ideas on pages 118-119 are quite good. Samples:

34. A rogue moon threatens to crash down upon the world, ending all life.
84. The Lord High Priest of Pelor denounces her deity and faith.

Epic adventureres tend to do what normal adventureres do, just bigger. If you can cope with 17th level characters, you can cope with 22nd level characters. It's only 5 levels difference. Just pace the advancement slowly and make sure you know what you're getting yourself and them into.

Get Nobilis. I am serious. It may not be d20, but it gives the best gaming advice on handling ultra-powerful characters that I know.

I think the most important thing is to encourage the PCs to develop their own personal agendas. Make them dream grandiose dreams and start fantastic projects. Do not let yourself be constrained by real-world limitations and physics - if the PCs want to put a dome with a diameter of several miles over a city to protect it from increasing cold (to give a nod to another thread), then go ahead!

The PCs and high-level NPCs should be similar to kids playing in a sandbox - everyone has his own ideas about what he wants to play, but these ideas aren't neccessarily compatible with each other. And in some cases, the number of toys is limited...
