I put out this call to all of the creative ppl of the D&D realms to pitch me some of you ideas for an original campaign. Please help an aged veteran get his game back.

Maybe all elves, gnomes, or even orcs would be worth a shot. How about a stone age game where survival is as much a reward as treasure. I know some people think of planar adventuring as munchkiny, but there's loads of opportunity there. If you don't like the Great Wheel, make up something else. Maybe the characters just move amongst an infinite number of demiplanes.

The plot will be this: All the PCs start off as beggars with no belongings, save what little copper they have and a dagger. They are approached by a powerful manipulative figure, which with the use of spells it convinces the PCs to pursue plot X, in promise of plot Y. Meanwhile plot Z hangs in the air, upon completion of X, Z falls, postponing the alluring plot Y. A series of bad turns leads the Cascading PCs depper and deeper into Z, again placing Y at an impossible fixed position. Through the use of story telling, and role playing, PCs wind up with Y. The end. Nick White
