[QUOTE="Manzanita, post: 1879210, member: 10109"] I had some ideas I’d long meant to introduce. This might be the appropriate time. I don’t know if this is the sort of story arc you had in mind, but I offer them for your consideration. I would be happy to help develop them, as I think they'd really be better if created by a team of minds. I don’t read fantasy, generally. But I am an avid reader of history. A couple situations in our history I think would really lend themselves to DnD. 1) The Crusades. While the historical crusades are mired in moral ambiguity, a LEW crusade could be much more of a good vs evil situation. Some force has taken control of a piece of land important to most of the inhabitants of LEW. Perhaps this is some site holy to the gods. Or vital for some sort of social or economic reason. It becomes a rare unifying cause among disparate kingdoms. It spawns an order of knights, similar to the Knights of Saint John, Knights Hospitalier, and the Knights Templar. Adventurers could participate in pitched large scale battles, but would more often be involved in long range reconnaissance, spying, investigating areas captured from the invaders. They could be involved in various ways against this sinister force both on the battle field and deep within friendly territory, ferreting out plots and whatnot. 2) The New World. Once, when living in Oklahoma, I visited the town of Poteau, outside of which purportedly lies a Viking Runestone. Behind a glass wall in a leafy valley is a large rock with norse characters inscribed. Whether or not it is authentic, it stirred my imagination. Can you imagine a longboat of Vikings penetrating into the heart of the American continent? What if a new continent had recently been discovered in LEW? It would be rich in minerals, including mithril. Vast forests and fertile soil also attract settlers and hunters. All the existing great powers want a piece. The characters could be explorers, hired for many reasons. Scouting out minerals, transport trails, mapping rivers, finding sites for new towns. Negotiating with the natives. Exploring ancient ruins. Competing against explorers from other existing nations/ organizations in the old world. This list seems almost limitless. [/QUOTE]
