Collaboration
You guys know how I am always preaching about how it's your world and that this is more collaborative storytelling than a player vs. dm game. I think I have come up with a way to really put that to the test. Particularly since we don't meet as often as we would like. Caldor is a very big place. Very open with only a few places set up. I am thinking that, if you would like, as players you could design or brainstorm or place something in the world you would like to see. It could be tied to your backstory or not. I am wide open and would really enjoy it. It can be as detailed or vague as you wish as elaborate as an adventure as big as a city or as simple as a weapon or as small as a pixie's dagger. If you would like me to dm it I can, if you would like to dm it I think we have the players that would be supportive and understanding to try it.
I guess i am saying that, at your leisure, you could come up with something you think might be a hoot to play, suggest it, design it, dm it, play it, whatever. It can be as close to the main story or as distant as you want. It is hard for me to convey this idea in written form. An example would be, lets say fictitious pc zeke decided he wanted to be from a town in Kangor jungle and he and his party returned there. all the buildings in the place and the movers and shakers of the town were of zeke's design. I would be perfectly ok with that. Or Zeke had designs on a long lost weapon of particular importance and designed a demon's lair to hold such a thing and and chose to dm it for his party. Again perfectly ok with me.
I don't want you to think that I am fresh out of ideas, as I said if you want to see this particular campaign out to the end you will have to be around 30th level. I am trying to keep it fresh and maybe involve the pcs a bit more in their world. These aren't one offs, if you dream it, it will be a part of Caldor eternally..well until something destroys it.
It isn't mandatory and is a standing invitation, you can choose to take advantage of this or not. Basically the sky is the limit. As I said really difficult to describe what I am trying to confer here. Hopefully you get the idea. If not questions are always welcome.
