[QUOTE="Blue, post: 9214954, member: 20564"] So I'm working on a setting about exploring a new material plane looking towards figuring out why the previous civilizations are no more so that it can be a home for people as the material plane the players are from is going to be destroyed. Bit of a custom cosmology and all that to support this, along with the destruction of the world has been known for years and various planes have been found and are being explored, with this as a lately-found one that a bunch of minor powers are banding together as they are getting squeezed out of the others. And the the original plane has a limited time left. That's all well and good, except that I never came up with the reason how the original material plane is getting destroyed. It needs to be something that can't be stopped by adventuring or Wish spells. That nations and people coming together to do desperate and expensive projects can't reverse. And it needs to be something with a fairly rapid onset, not that people are dying en masse every day in which they would just take any port in the storm. If this was SF, the sun going supernova at a point in the future, or wandering too close to a black hole, or other cosmic event would work. But I'd rather have one that fits fantasy sensibilities. Do you have any ideas how I should kill off the world? [/QUOTE]
