[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 9622849, member: 15882"] I love the concept of a swamp-based campaign! I think undead works well in a swamp and can work for a pollution/corruption theme. Maybe a tomb was flooded long ago and things are now able to climb out. Maybe it’s a section of the swamp people avoided but now it’s able to spread. I like the idea of a quiet human village that lives mostly in harmony with the swamp denizens but some kind of industrialist is draining the swamp to expand farm land. There should be a distillery that makes some nice peaty whisky! Maybe that’s one of the main industries of the village. I think a black dragon works well but I think the dragon shouldn’t be the ‘big bad’. Instead, it’s one of the factions. Maybe the undead is pushing the dragon’s denizens further into other territory. The dragon might be younger and, therefore, can’t deal with the undead problem. They can just keep their territory clear. Maybe an adult or adolescent dragon. Because undead are pushing the dragon’s denizens out(kobolds obviously), they are pushing into the human lands and raiding more which is causing adventures to push into the swamp to ‘solve the kobold problem’ Several villages or tribes control different sections. Like lizard folk and some goblins. There’s a hag coven who know the root of the problem or a way to stop it but what do the party need to sacrifice to get the information? The warlock should have a tie in. What is the warlock’s sponsor? [/QUOTE]
