First off I'd like to say a few things.
1. This would be my first time DMing
2. If this is in the wrong forum please tell me
3. I really don't want to put it on alot of rails
4. The BBEG is smart his INT is >40 and he's a Factotum//Wizard he's also God of Strategy and Tactics.(He's supposed to be very challenging normally but poor in a direct fight.)
Okay here's an idea for a campaign I came up with.
An arbitrary amount of time ago The BBEG was the LE God Of Strategy and Tactics and was fighting a Holy War against a CG God. On the verge of losing and being destroyed The BBEG took his strongest allies and used all of his energy to create a universe with a Massive Protection From Good/Anti-Scrying spell keeping out the CG god. Once there his allies started a civilization and waited for him to get back to his former power. After a few thousand years everyone forgot about him and all the Gods that witnessed it died off. After a few hundred thousand years the magical Barriers seperating the two universes is weakening. The party is somehow friends/assistants whatever they can fit in there backstory of a powerful wizard who discovers this and researches an Epic Spell to send them into the other universe to explore for a few hours. Unfortunately the other universe has time flow much faster in order to speed up the god's regeneration, and the few hours that the wizard gave them to explore before poofing them back is a very long time in this universe. So the PC's will inevitably explore and after they don't get poofed back they'll think something is wrong, and in a world populated solely with Evil Humanoids and outsiders they will somehow come to the attention of the BBEG's allies. So basically they'll have to sneak around for
(because I don't want to put them on rails)
1. Epic Level Wizards willing to go against the orders of their society's Gods.
(Hardest)
2. Information on the Universe thing in order to allow them to research an epic spell home. (Easiest)
3. Somehow defeat the BBEG and use the artifacts he created to break the barrier, and then use these either carefully to prevent all Hell literally breaking loose or as intended to allow the Good Universe's Gods to kick his butt again. (Pretty Hard but I think would make the best campaign.)
4. Notify the good gods and fight a Holy War.
So any advice/suggestions for improving/fleshing out this campaign?
Notes:
The BBEG at his current point in Regeneration is about 1/2 as strong as the Good Universe God's but being The God of Strategy and such he can still beat them in a straight out Holy War.
