Message: <blockquote data-quote="jdavis" data-source="post: 529841" data-attributes="member: 8704">I think a big swerve on the mythology or multiple mythologies would be a good place to start, your underlying theme is a mystery as to what happened to the would and how to return the positive/negative balance. There would have to be a reason the clerics didn't just get the story straight from the god/gods, why doesn't the great god speak anymore, did he ever, what role does he play if any?Other questions: How do the good kingdoms survive? Are there safe areas and if so how are they created?Are there people/races and animals outside the safe areas?How do you survive outside the safe areas? Are they hidiously mutated freaks or can you develop a tolerance or are there no liviing cratures in the Undead zones?How do the average people go about their daily lives?Why are there clerics and paladin's at all?Why are there so many?What do you call a Paladin who isn't Lawful Good? What powers would they have?Holy Weapons? How prevalent, would the evil not-Paladins use unholy weapons or evil Holy weapons?Would there be a holy element (or a positive element) to most magic items?Clerical powers and rituals, what do they do different than in normal games, how are they affected?Mind Flayers, what are they up to, why, and to what end?How do the Illithids get around the undead?Do they control the undead in some way?(There is Illitiliches in the Monsters of Faerun book {Alhoon})Where do the players find the truth? (I'm sort of partial to the old temple in the Undeadlands that has the true story written on the walls)What effect has this had on the other races? (are there other races?)What about the evil races (goblinoids, orcs, kobolds, ogres, giants, etc...)?What about those who choose to walk with the undead? (necromancers and such)How do the good people and the evil people get along? (I am assuming there would be a division between the Paladin "kings" realms and the Black Dragon's realm.)What motivates the characters?Are they running out of time?Are the Undead winning the war?How long has it been this way?It's sort of a punch list of a couple of things that stood out to me to be fleshed out,  some of these questions may just be answered with a no.</blockquote>
