[QUOTE="Doug McCrae, post: 1697375, member: 21169"] The idea I'm going with at the moment for the DnD world I'm working on is that the world is in a sense high magic. There's tons of weird monsters out there for the PCs to fight, lots of dungeons with magic items. However human society doesn't currently have access to it because almost all the magic is locked up in the tombs and lairs. I see there as being very few high level NPCs out there, maybe none at all. So in a way the world will progress as the PCs do. They start at 1st level and the society around them will be quite low power/low magic. The world itself will contain many bizarre wonders though - living mountains, cloud castles, glass fortresses, stone forests, etc - but they're not particular useful like teleport circles. Most are likely to be somewhat distant from the human lands also. As the PCs go up levels and delve in dungeons they will be unlocking the secrets of earlier, more advanced times and will be personally moving from low to high magic. If they choose to use the secrets they've uncovered to benefit society then that's fine, the world around them will change. If they don't, it won't. [/QUOTE]
