Shell Necklace and Project C: Difference between pages

Latest revision as of 19:16, 24 July 2009

Goals

A high fantasy campaign world.
System agnostic
Creative commons license.

Design Principles

Defy the standards
More real world science
Magic as evolutionary force
History from creation of planet through ages
Non-responsive gods
No cycle of titans usurped by gods, etc.
Non-christian-like monotheism
- A prophet that sounds a bit Jesus-like, but really evil
- Reaction against monotheism because of this
No standard races
Elemental races, enslaved by others
- Rebellions and such because of this
Prophesy important and real
- Oracle of delphi like
Many lost cultures, but no "declining empire"
Heroes can rise to significant power, and alter history
Logical consequences of magic.
- Magically conjured materials

Regions

Continent or region suffering a zombie plague
- Sealed off by Curtain
- Inside, all life consumed.
- Uninfected have to make radical changes to survive when food runs out.
- Possibly using elemental slaves for sustenance
- Become undead by choice
- Over centuries, zombies disintegrate.
- Locals find cause and cure for plague, but can't penetrate Curtain.
Continent basically abandoned to magic beasts
- Sort of a "Lost World" type area, with significant attempts to prevent entry.
- Once site of magically advanced race.
- Some civilization on coastline at strategic points.
- Probably a force needed to keep aquatic creatures from "escaping".

Thoughts

Very limited metal. Most weapons and armor use either enchanted stone or "resin" a plastic-like material excreted by some sort of beast that is "farmed" in most parts of civilization.
During planet formation, two smaller planets that fused in some type of wild magic catastrophe.
