[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1250105, member: 939"] I'm thinking of a medieval world where the fantastic elements are just appearing - in the form of magic and technology. It is cool to think that the ancient, first wizard of that world will actually be one of the PCs. And so forth. You could then over the course of the campaign build the world's ancient history and characters and lore as the players actually live it and build it as they go. If you're really ambitious, you could then play a conventional campaign later, using the "history" you created - and now when the party hears of artifiacts and old ruins, you REALLY know about where they came from. This could work with the same group - who would find it interesting because they lived the "past" - this could also be interesting with a different group that didn't know it, but discovers some of the history (as needed) for various adventures.
