That's interesting.Ramble TimeShat sort of raw "everything flowing together" is kinda like 4e's Elemental Chaos (in that all the elements are braided together and flow, and so you can have floating volcanos and so on). But the raw chaos reminds me of Exalted's "Wyld", where everything is changing and thought can create reality. I.e. the ground you walk on could turn into a toothy maw or your sword into a bouquet of flowers if your focus and will isn't strong enough).Side-note: one idea I've had in the past is that reality is a bubble sitting in the Far Realms, and that bubble is growing; Logic, order, etc is a cancer that warps the chaos, and so the Far Realms' desire to corrupt reality is the immune response. Using this kind of logic, the Mega Dungeon could be seen as cancer, and the locals want to eradicate it, mutate it, or send it back ASAP.I've already planned to have the Far Realms bending time and space--time loops where they are caught turning the same corner of a hallway over and over again, or spots where it seems they are standing in 20 different places at once, and the outside local areas works like an M C. Escher painting--gravity for you is based on what surface you're standing on.To the actual topic of interactions, quests and lootIn a place so undefinable, the players could theoretically upgrade/enchant their own equipment. Just have the right kind of materials--rub that armor on the psychic horror's body, put enough thought (and expensive coinage) into the effort, and tada resistance to psychic damage.The Philosophers is actually kinda funny.Lovecraftian fiction and such is all full of people contacting the Far Realms, and here the PCs could be on the other side of that phone call. Beings could want to spread their influence in the material plane (but since the PCs are on their side, they can't hepl with that). But providing some degree of worship, to kickstart the being's endeavers could work. Or carry a book it wrote back home with them. Or hell, let it ride around in the back seat of their skull--not interfering, but simply...watching, experiencing what they do, see how a human mind in motion works. Sure those motivations could be sinister, but It could also be as simple as curiosity or as base as wanting to experience the world through a different body that might process emotion or sensation differently.It's really convenient one of the characters is a Psion.</blockquote>
