[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7995857, member: 5142"] There are several homebrew campaigns from WotC employees that I would have almost loved as published campaigns or even MtG style conversion articles: James Wyatt's [I]Aquela[/I] and Chris Perkins's [I]Iomandra[/I]. Both are incidentally about most aquatic worlds that heavily feature archipelagos. Iomandra basically involved this idea that a world Io and the dragon gods created became covered in vast oceans dotted with millions of islands due to Io not being pleased with their creations. Every island was lorded over by a dragon, who are regarded as divine exarchs of Io. Dragons would fight over islands as they grew in size. Also, there was a Dragonborn empire of Arkhosia that butted heads against the humans (and later tieflings) of Bael Turath. So you can see a bit how 4e flavored this world. I would have loved a setting like Iomandra because you can have the characters island-hop to different locations. Give them a ship. Each island becomes a point of light. Maybe an island looks normal and nothing out of the ordinary, but the real adventure is happening in that island's equivalent space in the Feywild or Shadowfell. And the dragons make excellent set pieces on each island. Are the PCs working for or against the local dragon? Are they the lesser of two evils? Are they conspiring to help their island's dragon move up the ladder? [/QUOTE]
