Help me make my new campaign!

[MaxKaladin]

The campaign takes place on Earth in the year 40 A.D. The Illuminati (or ancient ancestor thereof) is concerned with Rome's dauntless might and attempt to enlist arcane aid. Magic on Earth is tricky at best, however they give it a go. They attempt to open a gateway to a strange dimension to bring forth beasts and let them loose on the Empire to cause havoc. Now where this gateway ends up is up to you, but I'd suggest an asian-themed world with high magic (e.g. Rokugan).

I like this, but I'd move it up to the reign of Trajan around 110 A.D. or so. Instead of having him go off and conquer Persia in a few years like he did in our world, turn him loose on Rokugan and watch the fireworks as one of Rome's best soldier-emperors does a number on on them. This would have nice parallels to the war between China and Rome that nearly happened during Trajan's reign in our timeline when some Chinese general whose name I can't recall was out conquering folks and got a recall order when he was only a few days from the Roman eastern border. (This is mentioned in GURPS Imperial Rome, BTW)

d20 Call of Cthulhu + Deadlands! original

The Elder Gods vs the Reckoners - now that's a world I don't wanna live in! Perhaps the Illuminati conjured one group, couldn't control them and released the other to fight them. Maybe one or two of them even survived that? On balance may need to add a post apocalyptic setting for this one?


Dragonstar + Rokugan + Beyond the wall + FR AND/OR Feng Shui.

Ninja Space Dragons are trying to kill King Arthur (on holiday in Scotland). Only Elminster AND/OR Jack Burton can save him.


MaxKaladin - that's a really cool idea!

Ragnarok Now (D20 Modern, Land of Giants): The Twilight of the Gods is upon us...in the 21st century. The time has come to destroy the world and start over, and the forces of Jotunheim are appearing around the world to get started. Somehow they didn't count on the automatic weapons...

The PCs are agents of a mundane governmental organization (like the CIA or something). None has any experience of the supernatural, though during the campaign they may discover that such things have always existed in secret. Can they prevent the destruction of the world? And since the prophecies say a new, better world will take its place, SHOULD they?

Dali's Campaign

There is a one armed monkey with a human head lieing on a bed beneath a bedspread (each player sees a different one). He suddenly appeared before you, as you found yourself in a large cavern lit by several glowing crystals. He yawns and says " Oh there you are, I must be getting sleepy ". Before you can do anything, he stretches his arm, wiggles his toes, rolls over and everything around you instantly becomes a sea of colour and you feel yourself flung through the either.

Now roll a die, consult a book start your game.
