Howdy to start off with I'm starting to set up my first Campaign as a DM.
I'm trying to keep it mostly according to the handbooks not too much homebrew if i can help it for now, but I’m running into an early problem. For my idea of the Campaign the world they are living in is in a period of darkness after a long period of false light. What i mean is that this world was very war-torn between good and evil, really a black and white tale. The two forces had been battling for millennia’s without any true gain on either side till one moment when the "light" seemed to conquer the evil and banish it from the world. What I’m thinking about is having the Good Force actually have been corrupted by something than so instead of the evil being banished it merely went into hiding in plain sight. Till it saw the right opportunity and destroyed the good.
Enter the world that they are in now, it’s a bleak world. The commoners have no hope they fear their lords, and those who dare speak out are either killed or enslaved. I'm thinking about starting the campaign with the PC being part of a slave revolt and manage to escape/start their journey.
The first issue I’m running into is I’m not sure what gods/deities would have been leading these battles against each other. Also I’m trying to come up with an idea why these people are important if they even are.
This campaign won't start for several months so i have plenty of time to build this up so if anyone or a group of people would be interested in helping me out with building my first campaign I’d rather love you forever in a bromance sort of way. All in all any little bit helps and I'm more than willing to set up a Skype chats, or email convos or anything if anyone is interested.
