Campaign Elements and Design (Archived) / Mythological Creatures (for Cerulean Saga)
April 10, 2008, 03:43:18 PM
Hello Everyone,
For my campaign setting that is currently in development, Cerulean Saga, I am working on a theme of various folkloric and mythological entities that have recently come to life, and have started making mischief all over the planet. I have two large Unknown cultures, one of faeries (think of old Celtic myths), and one of undead (the king is based somewhat off Dracula). However, I could use many, many more beasties, monsters, creatures, and the like for the camaign, and I was hoping you guys could help me out. What are some of your favorite mythological monsters/creatures/etc that I can make use of?

My plans are to make extensive use of the wiki, and once I get the Saga up and running properly (it's very new for me), I will make a thread and start a discussion.

Hello. I found this place after I tried out eruvian, didn't like it, and Ishmayl recommended I come over here. Seems pretty cool, I like that there's a functioning wiki.
General Gaming History
Introduced to D&D in 1981 completely be accident. Joined local gaming club at school. GMed first campaign in 1985. Been GMing ever since. Started working on new campaign setting 2 weeks ago - very much in its infancy stages.
Gaming Systems
D&D3.5. White Wolf (Exalted). Magic: the Gathering.
Strengths and Weaknesses in Game Design
I'm very new to designing, so that's a weakness in itself. On the plus side, I have studied many years Eastern civilization, focusing particularly on the Achaemenid Empire, Indian culture, various Oceana cultures and traditions, and anthropology and archeology, so I think I've got a decent start.
Major Influences on Setting
So far, mixtures of ancient Indian history and fitting it into a RPG context with a Dark Ages paradigm.
