Message: <blockquote data-quote="tglassy" data-source="post: 6963252" data-attributes="member: 6855204">I have an inkling of campaign I'd like to run, but I need to know if anyone would even be interested.  It has an elemental theme, though I do not own Princes of the Apocalypse, and my idea really has nothing to do with that, other than having an elemental theme.The setting would be in a homebrew that I am currently developing.  I do not have everything worked out, except that there is a problem with the elemental planes.  Somewhere in the Prime Material Plane, someone, something, or somewhat, is corrupting them.  The Genie Nobles of those realms see this corruption, and try to do something about it, but millennia of fighting amongst themselves, always trying to get the upper hand, and the fact that no genie can think of much other than their own pleasure, means that in short, they don't like each other.  They can't work together.  They need proxies.  Thus, the players!  Throughout the world, those who have been touched in some way by the elemental planes feel a calling.  They are being drawn from around the world, to help save it from...whatever it is that is threatening to destroy it! (I know what it is.  You don't.  That's how this works.)This would be a High Magic, High level campaign, and not only elemental magic is used.  That's just where the crisis is.  However, it does determine what kind of character you can make.  In other words, you must choose EITHER a qualifying race OR a qualifying class, as follows:Qualifying Races:AarakocraGoliathTeiflingTritonAny GenasiQualifying classes:DruidMonk (Way of the Four Elements, will be using a rehashed version I will post later)Sorcerer (Stormborn only, but can also use homebrewed versions of the other three elements that I will also post later)So basically, if you really want a fighter, you have to pick a qualifying Race.  If you really want to play a Halfling, you have to pick a qualifying class.  If you think another race or class should be included as a qualifying one, then ask, and I'll consider it based on your argument.  The point is that these characters have all been touched by the planes somehow.  Aarakocra live in the Plane of Air, and Triton hale from the Plane of Water.  Goliaths, in this world, stem from the Plane of Earth, while Teiflings...well, I wanted another fire race, and it was either Teifling or Dragonborn, and Dragonborn is not exclusively fire, so whatever.  Genasi are, obviously, a classic choice for this type of campaign, but I wanted at least one additional race for each element.I would love to have at least one character to represent each element.  But, we'll see if anyone is actually interested before I put that kind of rule on it.  I might say that these races are all fairly rare, so we shouldn't have more than one of the same elemental race.  So?  Any takers?  Any thoughts on how to a game like this would work?  This would be my first time DMing a Pbp here on Enworld, though I've done it elsewhere and it's gone great.  Tell me what you think!</blockquote>
