So I'm running my gaming group thru dead suns and I'm brainstorming ideas on what challenges to present to the party after they are done. I know their is a couple of suggestions at the end of empire of bones. But I was wondering what others were working on.
I have an idea of an alien demigod with plans to go after the starstone on absalom station. Anyone have any ideas or links to other threads similar to my topic?
We will have the pact worlds invaded by the azlanti and start a war. The azlanti will have a different system for magic (from the wheel of time rpg). Then while in the struggle the swarm will come back. The players will either have a war on twi fronts or have to make peace with the azlanti empire.
Any key survivors from the enemy side? The Shirren Sniper from Castrovel survived and escaped in our game. As it got interrogated before making its escape it got loads of details on the party, used the infoweb drift rock news reports to gather all the extra details it needed. Since heading into the vast in book 4, the PC’s have started getting reports that their friends and family have come under threat.
I’ve basically turned that side character into a full villain who has already started planning against them, seeking out antagonists from the backstories the party gave me when we started.
I’m likely going to have it leave the devourer as simply causing pain was the written Eason for joining, and it has found new purpose in this much more complicated plan to bring down the heroes of the pact.
Aside from that I am toying with the collapse of thegate opening planar portal idea, and having some of the forgotten gods of Golarion make waves. Gods like Goram and Erastil desperately clawing to be remembered in a larger regard like they once were, perhaps even in their attempts teaming up with evil gods after the same thing. Work in the Absalom first movement to support the return of “proper human” gods, and I got something to work with
