While working on one world, I had a small idea about another per say. What would happen in a great evil arose, the iconics faced off against this evil and won.
The world so rejoiced that they became rulers of their own lands. But dark clouds loom on the horizons. As time wore on, these heroes became corrupt, flawed, and thus became the tyrants they once fought against.
Sound interesting? Just thought I would toss this out here and see what others think.
This is very similar to the plot-line of the game 'Overlord' on the 360. There was a group of adventurers who defeated an evil overlord and became famous heroes, but over time each of them fell prey to one of the seven deadly sins. ei The Halfling became a gluten (as appropriate for beings who eat 7 meals a day), the Paladin (ie the Charismatic Face of the group) fell prey to lust, etc.
I've always thought it was an interesting concept and would like to see what it looks like fleshed out further.

Hrm, seems like an appropriate use of the Monsters of Sin from Kobold press.
Been toying with twisting the iconics around into Holland and all, and this was just too cool a idea to me.
Just trying to figure out who to turn into what. Some ideas are straight forward (ie palmy to death knight, wizard to pitch) but bard into what.....
Even began a map to a new world with the idea.
