[QUOTE="AFGNCAAP, post: 1700217, member: 871"] Well, not sure if some of these count as "hooks," per se, but this is what I have: [list] [*][B]Lankhmar Campaign:[/B] The hook is that, well, it's Nehwon. The world of Fafhrd & Grey Mouser (though it's set after the Twain essentially retire to Rime Isle). No standard D&D races (barring humans, of course). Crystal-fleshed ghouls. A rat conspiracy. Diamond-in-amber glulditches. Swashbuckling, heroic, morally-ambiguous, sword-&-sorcery-style adventure. [*][B]Marvel SAGA Campaign:[/B] It's basically a "What If?" setting: a decent-sized change of the Marvel status quo (group rosters, what characters do/don't exist, etc.). A main hero (player-created) campaign, plus a mini side-campaign where players play villains (albeit lower-tier, existing Marvel character/NPC ones). Based in Texas rather than New York. [*][B]My "Core" D&D Campaign:[/B]Fighting an evil long-thought & long-believed to be vanquished. The creation of new terrors, beasts, and beings by this villain (such as bugbears, hobgoblins, blues, & ogre mages; never existed until very recently). Divine spellcasters never directly venerate deities--instead, divine spellcasters follow paths of belief/philosophy (light, darkness, magic, or nature). No mechanically-different demihuman subraces like drow or duergar (different appearance, yes: different stats/mechanics, no). Psionics & pseudo-Asiatic-style PC classes & races. The decline of the known dragon species & the rise of new ones. The rare appearance of otherworldly alien beings (like illithid and aboleth). Githzerai as a native race to this Prime Material. A lizardfolk city. A colony of crystal-fleshed Nehwon ghouls. [*][B]d20 Modern Campaign:[/B] A yuan-ti madman has formed a ruthless terrorist organization bent on ruling the world. The PCs are recruited & trained to act as an top-secret, elite special-operations force dedication to protecting the free world. (I think you can see the inspiration sources.) [*][B]Azulunth Campaign:[/B] Based on the world depicted in my writing. No divine magic. No thesaurus-based/A.K.A. monsters/creatures. Uses generic classes from UA. Four-limbed dragons & griffons (which are related, like wolves, coyotes, dogs, & foxes). Lower magic than a standard D&D game (but not as low as other settings like Conan or Lankhmar). [/list] Well, that's what I have, so far. I'll probably have a d20 Future campaign & a d20 Past campaign as well, when I get those books. [/QUOTE]
