Three words:

GNOMISH
INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTION

Three more words for you comrade:
Viva la Revolucion!

 

[Zweischneid]

you could go with the Vogon construction fleet approach

I think that would be the fastest way to deal with an entire planet. Then you can make the players do some serious spaceship/plane hopping

*heavy, laboring breaths from the dark*


Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've
constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to
the power of the Force.

 

[Inconsequenti-AL]

A series of biblical style cataclysms could be a good way to go.

Start small Rains of blood, locust plagues and so on. Build them up from there...

I was thinking about having a rain of meteors. In true B Movie style, they would hatch into those freaky Alien 'inspired' monsters from the Book of Vile Darkness... First offed are going to be the Adamantine prospectors! Rapidly followed by the towns they carried the Adamantine eggs back into.

The dead arise. All of them. That's a lot of skeletons!

Kraken are a good apocalypse monster. Perhaps they could rise, en masse, from the seas and start laying waste to the coastal region.

Why has this happened? The overgod (Ao?) has some competion? Another overgod is warring with him... Is he trying to send a hint? Perhaps he's hit that stage in simcity where you release disasters on the world because you're bored...

Dont shoehorn your way OUT of running an epic game, after your grand destruction....

A flight of Dragons. It's been a long time since the bad dragons swarmed, and flew down from the cold north, swamps, mountains, forests, etc. Yeah, a red here and there, like what took out Azoun IV, but, not a true flight of Dragonkind.

You can mash cities, but not the ground they're on so as to allow reconstruction.

Later on, as a one nighter, or two weeker, you can revisit the Realms, and attempt to 'clean up' the mess, by running several LARGE dragons out of various cities and towns.....

Hehe, everytime I hear that quote all I think is "So can the Force destroy a planet? I didn't think so."

 

[Keoki]

Have you tried the Invasion campaign from DRAGON/DUNGEON? Sounds like a good way to start an Eberron campaign if you want - just have the PCs escape to Eberron before the Realms are destroyed.

 

[Mystery Man]

Anything to help destroy the Rotten Realms is a good thing.

I would just have Elminster create a spell so huge even he could not control.

LoL!!! OMG THAT IS SO GOSH DARN FUNNY!!!!!!! EVERY single TIME!!! ROFL!!! LOL!!!!!!!


*ahem*

Nuclear winter - Xixecals in droves roused out of a deep slumber (because of some zealous frost giants summoning) coming down from the Endless Ice Sea (or the plane of your choice) to plunge the Realms into permanent winter. The frost giants then enslave whoever is left alive.

Dawn of the dead - an advanced paragon atropal imprisoned in some obscure ruins in Anauroch is set free by some foolhardy archeologist type and starts turning the entire region into undead working it's way all across the globe.

The beginning of the end - Thayan wizards in an attempt to take over Aglarond by unleash hundreds of teratomorphs from the plane of Deep Caverns. Due the the close proximity of that many creatures reality cannot hold together and a hole rips open into the abyss and the blood war spills into the prime. It's all over but the shoutin' at this point.

Open a rift to the Far Realm and play Forgotten CTHULHU! Or just Lovecraft Realms, I mean, either or.

Or, on a related note, just have a raving lunatic running and skipping about Waterdeep yelling "HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR!" at the top of his lungs, then refer to 1ed Deities and Demigods to see what happens, and eventually chaos will ensue.

read the story hour in my sig.


our party is currently not paying attention to the destruction that is about to take place in the campaign as we meander about on our course.

we are letting the NPCs deal with the wars and problems in the realms.
