[QUOTE="aco175, post: 5474580, member: 27385"] I like the concept. I would think most campaigns would take place on the border in the 'Goldilock's Zone'. There could be some cool ideas for raids onto each side. Maybe the moon, from an earlier posting about were-creatures, has a regular cycle in which it travels with partial and full moons on the dark half, and monthy eclipses that travel accross the light half. This could be tied into many cool plot ideas. The biggest problem I have with a world that does not spin is weather patterns. This can be blown off in the name of DM fiat and most would not care much. I would think that weather patterns would shift slowly if much at all. The heat from the sun would cause the air to rise, but with no spin of the world the air and moisture would cool and rain mostly in the same place. Near the day/night border cold air from the dark half could get brought into the light half and push the mass. The whole half of the planet is always being heated though, so maybe it would just cause sort of air waves that blow back into the dark side and snow constantly. A cool idea is to have some sort of magma vent near the border and the snows and ice melt there forming a river that flows into the lit half. There could be battles for control of this power source. Another idea is raids into the dark half for ice and snow to be used in the drier regions. [/QUOTE]
