I've had a long term vision of a high level campaign, but one where the PC's are hasbeens past their prime, trying to make their name again in a world that has forgotten them.
So since we're starting at level 1, I wanted it to be roughly 50 years in the past (in order to make the above scenario possible in the future). That puts us in the 4760's. Two big things happen in that timeline: Andoran has its successful "democratic" revolution and Galt begins its failed one. I had imagined a campaign where the party is caught up in Galt's turmoil, joining a revolutionary militia only to find it's just as corrupt as what it replaced.
Issues:
1. So far we have a witch exiled from the North and a gnome Druid. Not exactly the types that would get caught up in urban politics.
2. So grimdark... I have a feeling dystopia isn't really this group's cup of tea.
So ideas on how this might work? Or any other scenario from that decade?
