[QUOTE="Ybron, post: 6298739, member: 6776326"] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR][COLOR=#0000cd][/COLOR][COLOR=#008000]Hi, thanks for checking me out. So here's the rules. I'm making a loose d&d campaign that will use many standards to the 3.5 or pathfinder. However I'm completely writing the universe by hand, every race, weapon, lore etc.. Also the combat will use a variant of suggested combat rules of body hit locations from Basic-RolePlaying-Chaosium-4th-Edition, (chest, head, legs,arms etc etc...) and use new armor rules other than just having AC due to the amounts of different attacks and resistances to attacks. (for example lasers vs projectiles, natural armors and synthetic..) The reqs for my story is that its can't be too hard a universe, I want my players to have fun, and play the alien races they always dreamed of playing, so I'm not putting too much restrictions to that, as long as they aren't from any other universe so no races from Startrek, Starwars, Mass Effect etc etc... I am interested in being mostly space opera however I need an overall end goal. The end goal needs to be original.. i know right? that's impossible.... but that's why I'm here... I need a good story that's not just a rip off from a movie or game, I want a good conflict for my overall story...[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000cd] [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff] [/COLOR][COLOR=#008000]Some stories I liked were the ones that had something happen that forced everyone to band together to fight.. like Halo and the flood, or Mass Effect and the Reapers. I don't just want a struggle of Good vs Evil, because my players don't need to be good, they could be evil, The nice thing about evil is that evil wants to survive, so I just want the "conflict to force the potentially evil characters my players might make to have to band with the do gooders to fight a common need. I want something that forces everyone to a common goal, I like tension in my groups, I want players to not trust each other and be forced to work together at the beginning. so.. what am I asking for? Ideas o a campaign, the overall goal of what my players are trying to occomplish/fight, the great conflict, the "evil" thing I can't com up with.. again think original, I don't just want a corrupt Emperor or Leader of a galactic organization, or do I need yet another space pirate mob.... thanks for ur time and ideas!!
