[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 6678959, member: 6677017"] As far as the actual story, I think mind flayers would be excellent villains. The scene in my head is a group of them gathered in a dark cavern domain discussing their plans. The light is so low that you never get a full clear look at what's going on because of the darkness, but you can tell the general shape of the creatures and the presence of their mouth tentacles. You hear only a language of strange hissing sounds (no subtitles provided), and you see it punctuated with short flashes of images in such a way that you understand these are telepathic projections that they are using in their communication. You might see these creatures communicating at more than one point in the story. I wish [I]I[/I] could telepathically project what I'm seeing in my head, because it is rather awesome, and definitely accessible to a mainstream audience. (Quite frankly, I now want to figure out how to express this image to my players in some future adventure.) *D&D fans could assume the language was Deep Speech or something, and it's probably inaccurate to allow visual flashes with the telepathy, but that's one of those little liberties that makes the movie more accessible and appealing without violating anything too big in D&D.
