[QUOTE="Tequila Sunrise, post: 5876173, member: 40398"] That's an excellent suggestion, and I've considered converting one of the APs I have to my favored ruleset. (Age of Worms, Red Hand of Doom, or Savage Tide.) I figured as long as I'm converting things, I may as well add my own touches, and well...here I am. Maybe it'd be better to start in the shallow end though... I've heard that too, but I'm in ahayford's boat. I just don't do well without a plan. Thanks! I'm actually not terribly impressed with Cthulu mythology -- I know, how heretical! -- so I'll be using my own take on D&D's "I will make you one of [I]us[/I]" monsters. No plans for spelljamming currently, or visiting the Far Realm. "As the history books tell it, there was once a great mage by the name of Karsus the Mad. Well, they didn't call him Mad 'til later...but I'm getting ahead of myself. Anyway, this Karsus was the genius of his time, and he worked out how to access a realm of infinite starry space. It wasn't long after Karsus had built a veritable arcane fortress in this realm that other mages and high-ups jumped on the band-wagon. Within a century, anyone who was anyone had extra-spatial holdings, and extra-spatial roads that could turn a year's trek through jungle and overseas into a day's march on a paved road." "But something had been in the space that Karsus discovered, and it began to waken. Or maybe it took a while to notice the mortal insects building palaces and roads through its realm. In any case, Karsus went mad. The last page of his rotting journal says "The stars are watching me, and my nightmares, they liveth." That's a literal statement, by the way; the Mad Mage's nightmares soon attacked and [I]converted[/I] those who remained in the starry realm. Thus were mind flayers, and beholders, and vampires and all those monsters made of living fear born." "All learned sages agree: While demons want nothing more than to tear the world apart, and the devils wish to rule it, the far realm plots to swallow it." (I like everything, no matter how weird, to have a [I]place[/I] in my D&D.) [/QUOTE]
