[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4220621, member: 710"] Basic Ideas: o Preserve something o Discover something o Change something o Create something I think one of the most interesting things to do might to change something forever. That might be something that is appropriate for Epic Level Heroes. Instead of just saying you killed Mephistopheles, and he will probably return in a hundred years, you really killed him for good. He will not be coming bad. Evil is forever weakened. The world will never be the same again. Anyone remember the Dungeon (?) article on the "Zeitgeist"? That could serve as your starting point. What's the current Zeitgeist? Where is it headed if the players don't act? What will the players send it to? - Avert a cosmic catastrophe (Asteroid/Abandoned Astral Dominion colliding with the world) - End this World to start a new World (or end this Cycle to start a new one) - Wake a slumbering god (or help an imprisoned one to escape) - Kill the Gods, so that [s]the Klingons[/s] mankind can stand on its own. - Eradicate all Evil and create Utopia. (For real. Campaign World-Ender!) - Eradicate all Drow/Orc/Dragons/Evil Race (or turn them into something friendly) - Reunite [s]Vulcans and Romulans[/s] Elves, Eladrin and Drow - Reunite Feyworld, Shadowfell and the Prime - Eradicate a terrible disease once and for all - Find out where the souls of the dead go - Safe the souls of the dead - Lift the secret of creation - Undo something that happened in the past (Time Travel? Phanes?) - Bring back the Gnomes! ;) - Equal Rights (and pay) for men & women (or black & white, man & orc) - Open the Portal to the Multiverse - Create a new race, or advance an existing one to a new level (arcana evolved, babylon 5) - Create a new power source/class (Introduce Druids by creating the first Druidic order) - Create a new continent/world - Create a second Sun, so that people never have to live in Darkness (2010) (Variant: "Enlighten" the Underdark) [/QUOTE]
