People Proppelled Campaign

[Aedh]

Dear EnWorld,
I have been playing D&D for 5 years, and have written countless full campaigns, detailing worlds and countries and adventures galore! However, I wish to try a new challenge. I wish to create a world used by more people than my gaming group. I would like to create a world used by you, a world you wish to play and use. New races and classes, if you wished them, could be created and it would be a complete world for use in your 4E games!

This will be a 4-6 month project, with extensive playtesting by my group and you, hopefully! First things first:

European Fantasy (traditional D&D)
Steampunk
Oriental
Other

Which one? Work will begin by the end of today, if the amount of replies is sufficient!

Yours,

Max a.k.a aedh

Dorum: City of Smog and Gears... Dorum is one of the newest cities in the country of Velora, and the cradle of invention on the continent. Seated in the centre of the Plain, it was founded 200 years ago and the time of the Great Union. Advertised to potential settlers as the "Eden of Thought" its purpose was always to be the sanctuary of great minds, wishing to be free of burden of sanctions and restriction. Hundreds of philosophers, inventors and artists flocked to the city, and the arts flourished. In the first hundred years, known as the Era of Golden Thought, Dorum became one of the wealthiest cities Velora. It exported the inventions that came from its patrons, from the Clockwork Airship to the Coal-Guard, and bought in all the food that its citizens did not plant and plough themselves. The inventors produced their products with care-free abandon, and this was to prove their undoing. With coal being used in huge quantities, the fumes of the thousand furnaces and machines gathered above Dorum, blotting out the sun and causing the young and the weak to die, choking on the sulphurous cloud. Unable to leave the safety of their home, the people of Dorum blocked themselves in. 25 years passed, the city deserted and silent. Starvation set it, and thousands died in the initial months. Survivors began to link up the houses by tunnels, grouping together and sharing resources. It was during this time the survivors discovered their careless abuse of resources and invention had led to far more severe consequences than they had known. Fumes, seeping into the blocked houses, caused babies to mutate. When the groups realised what was occuring, they abandoned the children, fleeing from them to safer, more secure houses on west side of the city. Every time a women got pregnant, if the baby was mutated, on the far side of the city. 25 years ago, the smog began to lift. The people of Westside began to leave their homes for the first time in 25 years, and repopulate the city. Contact was made with House Velor, rulers of Velroum, and the House sent supplies and new inventors to reinstate the city to its forum glory. A new leader, Lady Ashara, was voted to rule Westside, as the smog still covered the Eastside. 25 years on, Lady Ashara sent a message to House Velor, informing them the smog had lifted. And with its departure came the Lost Children...

Will you heed the call of Dorum?

Any feedback? How was that?

If the campaign is people propelled then it include should all of the elements. They don't have to be on the same continent. One continent or nation may be oriental, another may be steampunk, and so on.

I was thinking of that; rephrasing the aim then. Which continent would people wish to see done first?

In the second 4E forum, this thread is linked again, comment there. Makes it easier for me to track
