    Default New Campaign Setting (ideas requested)

    I have been tossing around ideas for a new campaign setting for a while now, and finally decided that I wanted to do something inspired by Greek Myths (at least to an extent). I want the heroes to be heroes, new places to explore, and unique magical creatures around every corner. What I have so far is

    • High Setting Magic
    • Low PC magic (limit spell casting classes) to accent melee combat (would iron heroes be good for this?)
    • Minimal direct control from the gods of the setting
    • High PC Power, with a low power level among the common people
    • Suitably epic adventures involving the slaying of deadly beasts and gathering of treasure
    • Low tech level (use bronze as standard, make iron masterwork and limit types of armor available)


    So with those things in mind, what I am looking for is any sort of idea that would help me run adventures in a setting such as this. Anything from hooks to interesting places to tips on running a setting such as this. Thanks!

    What if magic were a relatively new thing? It just appeared in the world, and people are very interested and experiment with this new thing. It'd explain why it is so common but not every city/town is like those in Eberron.

    Hm. Definatley ramped up the diffuculty level for me. Greek mythos was never astrong suit of mine. But,yeah IT's got better potential than many ideas.

    There was a time when I marched across the fields of battle, crushing those who opposed my lord and master. There was a time when I stared into the heart of darkness itself and did not tremble. These days are past me now. My lord is dead by my hand and I have shunned the light that once guided me. I do not seek your pity, I only seek the vengeance that is rightfully mine.
