Hey guys! It's good to be back on the forums! I've been toying with the thought of a fey based campaign that is set in a small valley or similar area. I'd like to make it a sort of Unseelie Vs Seelie Courts kind of conflict, with a small mortal town caught up in the conflict with the characters eventually picking sides and traveling between the Material Plane and the Realm of Faerie. I think the campaign would last from Levels 1 to 7-10, making this a sort of low powered campaign. I wouldn't mind some creative juices from the community to help the brainstorming process.
I think Lurkers in Light are great antagonists that go unused too often. They could make up the main element of the bad guy faction (your level range allows for some generic ones and some with class levels).
The whole first leg of the adventure would be to figure out who are committing a serious of heinous acts in broad daylight.

Yeah, I agree with the Lurkers in Light. I was also considering Making Elves, half-elves, Half-orc, and Gnomes Fey type instead of humanoid...indeed, perhaps the Dwarf and Halflings would go well too. Perhaps even allow the Changling as an available race.

Are you familiar with Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden books? Could fuel.
Maybe classic Shakespeare, Midsummer's Night Dream?
You could almost give every monster the fey type as a template on top of their usual type: dragons, trolls, ogres, giants...

My two ideas would be to look at the old White Wolf "Changeling" setting, and to read some of Charles de Lint's urban fantasy books. The latter has some original and through ideas regarding the fae and how they fit into an otherwise unsuspecting world. They are also a very good read, of course.
remember to homebrew a half-nymph race.
