[QUOTE="Glade Riven, post: 5416210, member: 86468"] So here is an idea inspired by the Fallout videogames, except adapting the basic principle to D&D. So...post-apocalyptic fantasy that isn't Dragonlance. [B]Basic Principle[/B]: 1,000 years ago a meteor hit the planet, bringing about nuclear winter. Cloud cover is still thick, but the days are a muddy grey. Sunlight is extremely rare, but the occasional break in the clouds does happen. [B]A few ideas:[/B] [LIST] [*]"Dark" races such as drow, duergar, etc are now the common races, with the common races being rare to died out. [*]Wurmwood spawned fowl things like demons, devils, etc. [*]Elves survived by magically protecting a few cities, but the magics are waining and they are low on resources [*]Gnomes built underground Vaults. Normal dwarves may have survived this way, too. [*]Humans are still human, because we're tenatious and adaptable. [*]Most magical artifacts have to be found in old ruins, because the techniques to make them are lost when civilization died. [*]Vampires, Werewolves, and other creatures of the night run rampent.
