09-04-07, 02:32 PM I'm currently working on a new D&D campaign. Instead of taking place in Medieval Europe settings, it takes place on earth during contemporary times. I'm dropping all the races except for human and dwarf. For the classes, I'm dropping them all except for thief and priest and both are being heavily modified. Fighter is being replaced with foot-ball player, and barbarian is being replaced with clown. Sorcerers and Wizards are being replaced with schizphrenics and magic is being replaced with psychotic episodes.

Instead of dungeons, the PCs will hit apartment complexes and malls. Orcs are being replaced with kickers, hobgoblins with cops, goblins with mallrats, fey with stoners, etc.

I think you all get the general idea.

The question does anyone have any suggestions? All suggestions are welcome. What would you all suggest for higher level adventures?

09-04-07, 03:38 PM BTW, I'm think of making a$$hole a class. I was thinking like a combination clown and football player. Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

Maybe ranger? :D

09-04-07, 05:13 PM I think I'm going to add Moron as a class. To become a moron, a character has to join the church of Jesus Christ of Saturday Satanists.

Edit: On the second thought, I think Moron should be a PrC.

09-04-07, 08:16 PM LOL, this is great. Goblin mallrats? You know you have to give them a stink palm attack. Something like, successful touch attack the victim must make a Fort save or become sickened or nauseated.

Kobolds-mall security.

Replace Bards with Goths/Emos. Instead of inspiring allies, they bore/anger/depress enemies. Goths do it with bad poetry and their general outlook on life while Emos do it with whining and crap-tacular music.

Definitely keep us posted on this. Comedy is sure to ensue.

Interesting. I can see it now...
"An epic-level Moron has killed the Pope. Venture deep into the largest urban sprawl-mall to slay the moron. Why? Your priest can't bring in the bling with these satanists giving jesus a bad name."

09-04-07, 10:27 PM I have decided that sorcerers are going to be replaced with schizoids and wizards are going to be replaced with hallucinagenics (sp?) users. Also, I think I'm going to make stoner a character class and use it in place of druid.

I think I'm going to use clown in place of priests. Clowns will be very religious and cast spells by spewing profanity. For example, for an offensive spell, the clown will scream, "You'd better start praising the lord or I'm going to personally come over there and beat the *&@# out of you!"

For barbarians, I'm going to use either bikers, professional wrestlers, or mental institute escapees.
