[QUOTE="ccs, post: 6885608, member: 6803664"] For about 10 years now I keep contemplating a 3 act game set in a D&D Roman Empire/Hades. Act I: Would start off with the characters being DEAD & trapped in Hades as spirits. They're given the opportunity to escape when the titans are freed & come bursting through the underworld on their way back to destroy the prime material/Olympus. I imagine the characters starting at variable levels or something to represent them having slowly been losing themselves to becoming mindless spirits over time. Maybe base it on their charisma scores. Afterall, I imagine only the strongest wills would maintain their forms after death If/when they "die" during their escape attempt? They'll lose a lv but otherwise be able to get back up & continue. If they manage to escape back to the land of the living? Then they'll be live characters with whatever lvs they had remaining. No idea how I'd handle starting equipment, cleric spells, etc..... Act II: The now live characters are back in the realm of the living during a time of terrible conflict. Gods & Titans are trashing the landscape. All manner of awefull things & people have escaped the underworld just as the PCs did.... If the characters intend to continue living they'll have to regain their power. Dead is dead though now as the underworld has been destroyed. Act III: Now at high lvs, the characters have to actively help the gods/engage the titans. [/QUOTE]
