One of the campaigns I DM is coming to an end/pause, we're putting it on the back burner as we will soon begin play on a Forgotten Realms game.
The campaign world is somewhat like Athas (Dark Sun), but with nearly no magic, no psionics, etc. The handful of casters that do exist cast spells per week, not per day (and all are defilers more or less). It's a harsh desert world, where the only soft creatures are people, whom are the only mammals in this world. The technology of those humans is, on average, Stone Age.
Most "loot" in the game world consisted of animal carcasses (if they didn't make dinner out of the PC's) whose bones could be turned into weapons and whose skin could be made into armor (they would also make water skins, clothing, etc. Craft skills were quite valuable). Simply going from point A to point B in 110-150 degree heat in a dangerous desert was an accomplishment. A grand find in one game was 25 lbs. of salt.... Simply put, it's not your father's D&D, and beleive it or not, alot of fun
.
The Endless Desert campaign (as we named it) is coming to a temporary close, but as many know from experience, temporary can sometimes lead to permanent. Anyway, since this has been such a great game for everyone, I'd like to give out some kind of gift to each player; a memento of the experience. This could be as simple as a leather bag with some sand and a handful of rocks inside; or perhaps a flint arrow head... I'm not sure. Has anyone done anything like this? I'd like to see what suggestions or ideas you guys have for it. Thanks!
