The Campaign Builder's Guild

Hellraiser, That actually makes a lot of sense, I really want to see what happens in a world where Mesoamericans aren't conquered.

Also, Yesterday I got thinking and decided I'll use this same world for a campaign on D20 Modern. So all that is quite important.

Psychopomp, You have no idea how useful that post is, it is making me consider a lot of things.

Now, for the nature of my "over-light" or whatever I'll call that place, I'm thinking of a group of radical celestials that were thrown out of Generic-Celestial-Plane-No.1 because of their "twisted" ideas about good, or about beauty, or maybe both.

In the alignment-and-alligances System I'm thinking of, the celestial could be either LG or NG, with the "beauty" alligance.

Hmmm... you got me thinking a lot, I' have to develop this new ideas comming to me, I'm really grateful n_n.

Ok, decided:

The celestials and more creatures on the "oper light" will be good but against the common races.

Also, the mesoamerican culture will have some sort of technologycal taste to it.

Oh man an upper-light sounds so cool.
I have to delve deeper
ok
heres an idea
there are points in the material plane that coexist with those of the upper-light
for example, this could be at the top of a very tall mountain.
you could have it so when a person reaches this point (say by flying upward high enough) everything flips and instead of going up he is falling down toward the upper-light, looking up at the material plane
this would limit travel between areas to mid level wizards or very good climbers.

O_O That a great Idea! I was thinking of something like that myself but didn't think of the reversed gravity... God, I love that idea!

awesome thanks! i wont take all the credit though, there was a similar idea in the DMG i read....2 years ago-ish
hope it works out!

Thank you.

Love your Icon and Sig, too.

Thx! I made my avatar when i was just being creative and my sig is a banner for my rpg website. i just got gimp (no $ for CS3 yet) so im trying out all the brushes i couldnt use with PS 7

I see. Well, they look great indeed n_n.

Thanks again ^_^ are there any specific points of your campaign you need developed the most? you mentioned the egyptian nation what you are focusing on now?

Wow, I love that reverse gravity thing... Do develop it more to see how it ends up

The idea is similar to Bytopia, according to the Planescape cosmology.

another idea.
perhaps the egyptian culture holds the upper-light as a link to their spirit world where all the past pharoahs and kings reside. maybe pyramids are the links (only work when stars align etc?)

Hmmm, that could work, indeed.

I've been thinking of Istamure's (You know, my Egyptians) religion for a while.

I want a portion of the population making deathless of their dead, and other portion thinking of dead as the ultimate state of life and leaving their dead alone. They could, indeed, think that the "Upper Light" is the sacred realm of the dead. o_o

Also... what do you think the word for "someone/somtheng from Ishtamure" would be? I'm thinking of something like "Ishtamir" or "Ishtamury"

Ok, we'll have our first update:

Finaly! a name for our "Medieval European" contienent Valindrea (Vah-Leen-Dre-ah) More data on Valindrea will be added soon.

The "Upper-Light" Needs a name, but it's concept is taking shape: It's have inverse gravity, it will not be visible from ground, It will be reached by flying realle high in sky and by climbing certain mountains that will be quite high, It will be the home for recluded celestials.

Ishtamure's main culture will have two different ideology corrent in their main religion: One worships the dead and death itself by turning their dead into Deathless creatures. The other one worships death as the ultimate state of life and concience and therefor leaves their dead alone so they can reach the land of the dead.

I'll make a bigger version of this and add it to the first post.
