>>6297584There is something else I would like to directly ask (you), the good players of this quest, before we return to our regular programme. With this quest currently slowly sliding down the bump order, I would like to know your opinion about certain quest concepts I have been thinking about.
Putting aside whether I will make a direct sequel for this thread, return to the Space Marcher Lord Quest, or proceed with a completely new quest. There are a few ideas I would like to sound out.
Keep in mind that the titles are provisional.
>The return of the Dark Lord.The idea around this quest is that you start as a disembodied evil of yesteryear, bound to a piece of jewellery, weapon, book, or something else. It shall begin rather slowly, with you as the players having to either recreate or take a body for you to return to the physical plane, before slowly rebuilding your evil domain in the shadows. While conquests with a horde of creatures is obviously at the forefront, I also want to make certain you will have the opportunities to scheme, and subvert/corrupt/eliminate heroes, nations and rivals via indirect means.
>The Elven Odyssesy This supposed to be a fantasy setting based around classical antiquity, mostly set in around the world's equivalent of the Eastern Mediterranean, with civilisations and Technology comparable to the late Greek classical era. With you playing as an elven adventurer or exile. With a good chunk of the political landscape being Greek-style poleis and Near Eastern city-states ruled over by sorcerer-kings. You will start out with a small band of followers, with which you can wander about.
>Adventure archeologyWhat this entails is that you'll essentially be going about the planet searching for lost legendary artifacts. With a setting roughly set around the 19th/20th century. But at the very least, set before the second world war. With the protagonist being a kind of Scrooge McDuck/Allan Quatermain/Indiana Jones type figure who lives and works in North America/Europe in between setting out for adventures.
>WesternYou play as a poor, lonesome cowboy, with you having free rein to muck about anywhere west of the Mississippi. With you wandering about or working a regular western job if you want, the general tone of it can be said to being between Spaghetti westerns like Leone's dollar trilogy, Spencer and Hill's films, and the Lucky Luke comics. While the players can choose between various backgrounds as a local, Southerner, New Englander, or an immigrant.
