I called this campaign "In the Shadows of Giants".One themed campaign I would like to run is campaign with all of the characters as students of the same wizard school- all arcane spellcasters of various specializations.  This would be especially fun if the characters were specialists from opposing schools and departments that looked down at each other.</blockquote>
