So our group is about to start up a new campaign (more than likely it will be pathfinder) and our most regular cm wants to try something different when making this homebrew campaign. He pitched it to us like we would be controlling an elder entity and we would each take a turn in the creation of the cosmology, similar to The Giants crayons of time.
I am aware that design by committee isn't the best way to do anything without a unified vision but our group seems to be all on board with it, so I am pretty positive we wont create a hideous monster.
So I guess playgrounders my question to you is what fun off the wall quirky things would you throw into this, and you can think as big or small as you want (DM actually tells us we are thinking to small when throwing out ideas such as races to put in so I'm trying to think big things to do in the universe but finding myself still thinking to small)
Some of my ideas for my turn have been that dwarves who dwell underground are linked by a hivemind that is caused by an intelligent fungus, maybe it has complete control or just influences them, I dunno...
So I don't know if my point got lost inthis, so once again what's your opinion on designing a campaign setting by committee and what crazy/quirky things would you throw into a campaign if you could? Remember no idea is too stupid/big/small.
