[QUOTE="Raloc, post: 3287581, member: 28093"] Hehe sounds great. Anyone ever read the Belisarius Saga? I think it would be cool to run a prehistoric campaign and have the PCs end up starting up tech revolutions of that sort. Currently I'm running a Forgotten Realms campaign (sort of, it has a lot of my own homebrew stuff mixed in in terms of the cosmology and such, the biggest of which is that there have been infinite revolutions of prime material planes, and the deities have had incarnations lasting through some of those ages to the current time) in which a host of baddies are after a certain artifact that will allow them certain nasty powers (such as the ability to create any undead in unlimited number). The PCs are evil or neutral themselves, so it's been a strange game. None of them are insane enough to actually seek out pieces of the artifact, so they've mostly just been getting contract work. So myself and the co-DM have taken an approach such that things will advance regardless of the PCs' interaction. Good heroes might go after the baddies (which I actually have a couple of players doing PbEm running the bad guys for), but unless they succeed or the PCs step in, the pieces of the artifact will slowly start to find their way back together, and the wars and such will continue and grow. Recently though, my co-DM and I have come up with an idea to intentionally let one of the BBEGs get the artifact, while the PCs are in stasis of some sort (for approx 100-200 years). This will be around 17th level I think (when I freeze them), and I'm going to eliminate most of the major powers in the FR, with some exceptions. The first part of the future campaign will be about finding out what happened while they were in stasis, then likely they'll start trying to build their own power bases. The co-DM's character will probably remain unfrozen so he can help out the others (and unfreeze them). Since he's soon to become a lich, the time won't matter much. I can't wait to see where it goes though, it should be quite fun. [/QUOTE]
