    There is a legend told by a deranged ancient tiefling gypsy space-witch. In a place far from the known worlds there is a large planet with a single hint closed eye. It is orbited by moons that are also closed eyes. She says that beholders now hunt her, for she has found the place where the "sleeping father" that dreamed them into existence dwells. She needs a crew. Maybe your cadre of adventurers are up to the challenge. "The Dreaming Eye" For characters level 10-16

    My two game shops over a ten year time frame had open campaign settings where it had player vs player group actions, and the winner lays claim to the other party's equipment. Had a lair in Forgotten Realms/ Water Deep/ Skullport. AD&D2ndE It was an unbalance dungeon with the one goal was to kill other player groups. It was design by a player to keep other player/PC parties from raiding. It was not design by a DM to hand out Xp snacks to murder hobos. End result, I had my front door broken in a few times, half my zombie dragons killed off and more than a few hobos sitting in deep 50ft pits waiting to be turned into Soul Stones. 3.5e system rules just made it deadlier. Had one group of Paladins that raider my place cause the door wight was pizzing with them. They .. borrowed a few magic items and left a note on who they were, why they needed the items, where they were going, and their local Water Deep temple will cover the damages. If they fail in their mission, where I could recover my items. After my PC & his Baator butler had a talk with their local Water Deep temple , my PC & their high cleric and paladin had to go and recuse their backsides. My first game shop was a 40 minute drive from the state's university campus town, so we had more than a few player group vs player group contests. Also it was a larp foam weapon fight club. Fun times.

    I want to use the "it was just a dream?" scenario to have the players play urban mercenary adventurers in Waterdeep, but have them go into a total party wipe when some horrible and unprecedented event occurs, such as the terrasque suddenly surfacing in the middle of the city. This would be a glitch in the simulation and several thralls would suddenly be forcibly ejected from pods, where the party learns they're not in Waterdeep or even Toril at all, and have them proceed into a quasi-futuristic science fantasy portion of the campaign, focused on the ilithids and getting to a home they never actually lived in.

    That's sick. Do it. Taking a page from the Matrix you can have things get really weird in the simulation before their inevitable "death." Perhaps things start glitching out real bad spawning multiple demon lords, gods, etc. All into one area as doorways seem to connect to impossible areas and commoners start matrix dodging and wall running everywhere and so on and so forth. Could have some real fun with the first session before the adventure even begins. This could take away from the surprise you were looking for and instead you can make these glitches far more subtle or glimpses from beyond the simulation in their dreams as hints of what's to come. Great idea! Either way

Hell, let's even ape Assassin's Creed and through the magic, they retained the powers and abilities they had in the simulation.

    A good way to think about how to play spelljammer is: In any town, on any planet the drudgery of the day-to-day is almost never interrupted, and even then usually by you looking for it. However sometimes forces outside this town happen to it. In spelljammer, your party *IS* that event.

    I tend to keep my custom worlds outside of the phlogiston because I like propulsion ships. This video was really interesting. My current campaign takes place on a planet free floating through space trapped by the gravity of a huge eldritch horror with a fiery eye that the inhabitants think is a star. The surface of the planet experiences an extinction event every millennium with the subterranean sections being a wasteland of old technology and the insane remnants of a once technologically advanced race. The eldritch entity exudes a special substance that has saturated the planet that causes life to evolve at accelerated rates that allows for playable races to exist after only a few hundred years. This is the first campaign I'm running here and I'm planning on using it in the future. It's taking place at the end of the cycle with the campaign being normal for awhile and then slowly becoming a horror game before the players try to escape the planet.

Basically the video game Doom but with our veteran team and my demonslayer dwarf ranger Kolgrim in his element, great fun 🎉

Where the humans are all in those pod things and have dreams of a sort believing they are living "real" lives. If indeed all these D&D details date to the early 90's, then I have to wonder if the maker's of the Matrix didn't get some inspiration from this stuff. It would be interesting to find out.

    I really loved your comment. It’s exciting to see others jumping into the total possibilities of the realms from beyond. It’s totally daunting to enter this space (literally) without a jumping off point. AJ seems to outline a really good diving board too use for this jump. Might I suggest taking notes from each of the planets 🌎 🪐 discusses and outline all the talking points that AJ spoke about. This way you have general picture of the prime material world (Toril, or whatever you call your world) and the celestial bodies that inhabit the Sun’s crystal sphere. Once you have that, you have confidence in your mind that if players wished to leave Toril and travel the celestial worlds around the sun they can. You can introduce this whole concept through the introduction of the academy of celestial bodies, where they are working on developing a Spell Jammer and need your players help in finding a few final pieces to get it “off the ground”. Keep the new ship basic, by giving it a standard helm without any dimensional powers that can open the doors to other crystal spheres of influence (places of gods and the astral sea). You should however allow them, if they are brave enough, to travel beyond the crystal sphere and enter one of many openings where the flogyston flows to other realms (all awesome quest adventure possibilities). I’d recommend that (your world) be powerful enough for the protection from other celestial bodies in the solar system, but could easily be the beginning plot twist to the seeking of the Academy of celestial bodies and the gathering of information that leads to the grander plot where one of the many planets have built up enough power to unleash it on Toril (your world). I hope all the best things for your world and players!

My last game shop 15 years ago had a hard time trying to run a campaign out of a single town for very long. They were not much into .. world building. So world hopping spell jammer was out of the question, they would rather play Star Wars. But with 3.5e rule system we did have the Gith try to raid a Star Destroyer and battle it out with Darth Vader.

    So if the sun is heated by portals to the plane of fire, could these said portals be closed by some impossibly powerful dispel magic from an artifact or other power? Perhaps this is the plot of a cult of Atropus to plunge all world's into a never ending night as they all wither and die reinvigorating Atropus. Really hope this is one of the settings we see rebooted for 5e as the possibilities are even more endless than regular ol' D&D. Could even be the nice bow on the other two classic D&D settings as well as ones already printed by connecting them all with greater detail of their surrounding wild spaces. Edit: perhaps the way they try and dispel the portals is by somehow moving the anti magic zones surrounding the sun into it.

Aside from Cyberpunk 2020 and Shadowrun (which are mostly advanced tech, and many themes are there) there are three games that are heavy on the transhuman : Eclipse Phase (which has an unofficial GITS hack,) Transhuman Space and Mindjammer. They're also more sci-fi (w/r to the cyberpunk of the other two) and EP has lovecraftian elements too.

    We all miss that Craft Spelljammer Helm feat, a Planeshifter specialty (makes their Craft Wondrous Items prereq. more useful). You can modify ships in 5e now with the "living vessel" upgrade (thanks, Ghosts of Saltmarsh!)... the spacefaring elves in Realmspace feel infringed upon, for sure. Those haughty Eladrin stole their tech! "This vessel's hull was crafted in the Feywild under the direction of master eladrin shipwrights. It is a living plant, drawing sustenance from water and sunlight. Vines covered in thick leaves hang over its side, and the wood runs with fresh sap when damaged. The ship gains a +2 bonus to all Constitution checks or saving throws. As long as the ship has at least 1 hit point, it regains 10 hit points every minute."

    Plot hook: a seed from the garden. One of the towns surrounding the city have had their 3rd year of bountiful harvest, but this was a drought year... Backstory: somehow a crop plant from “Garden” is being grown in this town. Twist: Does the crop leave the soil barren for decades after its second harvest. Does it spread like wildfire. Does it chock out all native vegetation. Is it addictive causing horrible withdrawal. Does it cause birth defects. A selection of the above? (Influenced be tiberium Re: C&C) Who introduced it and why? Is this the only infection?

    AJ Pickett posted this a while back on one of your videos think you might like it... Speculation on the once and future birth of the illithid race by AceGambit (Tony Oliver): many Millenia from now it will come to pass that a worth band of adventurers will slay an aboleth as it retreats to isolation to gestate. The broken body of the dead aboleth will sink to the briney depths. One of the unfertilised, unimprinted eggs will survive its parents demise but unfertilised, it will not mature as normal. The mucus of the aboleth corpse protects the parent from the oxygen and subsequent decay as well as scavenger that would eat the corpse. This unique circumstances lets the surviving embryo mature and feast on the preserved brain of its once parent. After a decade or so the gargantuan brain is devoured and the unimprinted/unfertilised embryo (tadpole) has reached a semi state of maturity. Burrowing out of its parents corpse it strikes out in search of cranial food. Finding a medium sized creature it borrows into the brain to feed. The intelligent creatures still living brain tissue and cerebral fluids act as fertilisation for the tadpole, creating an abomination of aboleth and humanoid. And so the first illithid ceromorphisis comes to pass... the rest as they say “is histo.... the future!” Feel free to use this as you wish, all I request is to be accredited!

    @@tonyoliver4920 T Oliver oh yeah I remember reading your original posting of this, absolutely love it! So would the proto- ilithid have all of the memories of it's ancestors the way aboleth do? If so maybe throw in a reference to the paradox of the mindflayers origins and downfall, have illithids or some such be the reason that the adventures go and find this aboleth on the first place, ensuring the proper chain of events occurs to spawn their race. Aj also has a video which details how you could portray time travel in a campaign by having the party inexplicably and suddenly attacked for a single round. Then later when they are actually fighting the thing, it uses it's actions to attack the adventurers in the past, maybe have some hazy portal showing the PC's earlier in the campaign being attacked for a single round by this creature. Probably not explaining this too well, I'll try to find the video lol.

From the simple, exciting start of new campaigns to the real, viable feeling that given the roll of the die or by simple choice-whether it be willing sacrifice for your other party members or situations beyond control that Death can claim something you spent hours on.

    I wanted to add to your storytelling prompts at the end, from working on my own stories, I noticed that comics often create a thing, say a hero or a weapon of some type & then they create its opposite, which is an ancient idea if you go back to Gnostic & Kabbalistic lore, that there is the good side of stuff, like the Tree of Life, but there is a dark opposing force, a sort of underworld version. If you keep that general idea in mind, you can flesh out a lot of details of creation with just that.
