Message: <blockquote data-quote="EricNoah" data-source="post: 3928785" data-attributes="member: 4">I vaguely remember someone describing a potential setting where a few big cities grew up, as you would expect complete with roads in between.  Then, over time, the cities lost their roads -- magic replaced them, for there were great teleporter pads built by wizards in each town so that commerce and travel would be safe and instantaneous.  The roads were swallowed by the wilderness over the ages through disuse.  Then some kind of tragedy struck, the teleporter network was destroyed, and the cities found themselves cut off from each other.  With miles and miles of wilderness separating them, each city had to fend for itself against monster and humanoid raids and other problems.  Present day in this setting has PCs starting off in one of these cities, and perhaps their job is to try to contact the other cities that by now are only rumored to exist.  Some may still exist, some may be dangerous ruins, some may have been taken over by various humanoid races.  Magic today isn't what it once was, and few today have the power to teleport, fly great distances, etc.  The vast dark and untamed wilderness between each of these points of, shall we say, light, is where adventure is to be had.</blockquote>
