hey guys, my party was always split about what they all wanted in my game, so i got everyone together and said "were going to work on a world together, that way everyone's happy." we set up everything, including what races were playable, what races dont exsist, do we want reality or fantasy, steampunk or magic, etc.
overall it came out to this;
on a scale of 1 to 10 they chose a 5 for dungeons (every other game is a dungeon), 4 for dragons, they only want choices to effect them, not the world. (meaning they dont want to have to choose to save the world from the evil villain or join him and destroy the world), there are 3 nations, all are at war with one another, nation 1 is Shakizaar which is like the east, middle east, and russia combined (north being like russia), nation 2 is the United Lands (usa lmao), which is half woodlands and half desert, like cracked desert with buzzards and stuff. the third is Eldeland, which is like a mix of scotland, england and france.
we've decided there will be drugs in the game (good for roleplay and quests and stuff), and on a scale of 1-10 its a 4 for steampunk.
the only thing that threw me off is everyone wanted the era to victorian. it was a unanimous decision and all of them voted on it...so i want to make the party happy, but i have no idea where to start. i've watched gangs of new york, sherlock holmes, and alot of other victorian type era movies and im stumped...mostly just because i have only done medieval campaigns.
i was thinking about making it a type of mystery campaign, where the party investigates murders, stuff like that, but idk, like i said, i just dont know where to start.
