It’s in the title! What’s your current campaign or setting you’ve been playing in recently?
I’ll start:
I’ve been running a homebrew game that’s gone all over the place over the years. My group fought a doppleganger invasion, overthrew a local oppressive government, battled with a devil cult, and many more odd ball adventures.
Recently after one party member drew the Moon from the Deck of Many things and wished to become “God Emperor” I decided to overhaul the world as a space themed adventure. The party is now playing in an alternate reality where the party member who made the wish is now Emperor but the party’s old characters, twisted by some evil magic, are now working against them to bring down the empire.
I’m running a homebrew level 11-20 campaign in Ancient Netheril from the Forgotten Realms. We’re currently at level 17.
Netheril is a “once great empire of magic that fell 4000 years ago”. It exists to create the backdrop for why the “modern” Forgotten Realms are, well, forgotten. I’m running it as a sequel to WOTC’s “Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden”.
Its taken a lot of work to flesh out the setting since most of the published content about it is from AD&D, but its been a great high-level backdrop. Netheril’s powerful mage hegemony gives me endless opportunities for high-level encounters, and the empire’s divide between floating magical Enclave cities and the non-magical people who live on the ground creates for some great tension and quest hooks.
