[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 6382073, member: 36150"] Sometimes it's easier to just flip what's expected. * The Underdark is now an underwater civilization and the Drow are now also Sea Elves. * The goodly races have been driven underground and now Drow, Duergar, Mind-Flayers and their demonic allies dominate the surface world. * Dark Sun, but now the "desert" is an Arctic tundra. Instead of life energy, Defilers now siphon warmth from enemies and the land. Preservers seek out underground pockets of natural heat and try to coax them to the surface. ... or steal liberally. * A world in decline: the Great Nothing closes its darkness around the land, slowly consuming it and all its inhabitants into a great void. Or perhaps an intelligent Giant Meteor is heading to the planet and will destroy it in Three Days unless someone can stop it, or somehow reverse time... * A world where anthropomorphic animals are the dominant species and humanity failed to evolve past the caveman stage. * A great flood has almost completely submerged the World of Old leaving only a handful of natural, habitable islands to a population of seafarers and relic hunters. * A race of shape-shifting robots wages war on a (believed to be) inorganic and dying planet. The core of the world holds the seeds to heal itself, but only organic creatures may venture into its depths and survive long enough to claim them... [/QUOTE]
