Imagine a party that has been hired by a House Lyander captain to search for "spheres," a precursor to final messengers. Perhaps these spheres hold the answer to a current problem. But this is as far as I got. Sense two (or many more) heads are better than one, I thought I'd toss the idea out and let you folks chime in. Perhaps we can cobble together the fun basis for a campaign between all of us. *Disclaimer: The only real thing I want to use from the game is the idea of "sphere hunters." While the storyline for the game is quite enjoyable, I'm much more intersted in creating a new storyline using the idea of sphere hunters as a central theme. So, any thoughts/comments? Cheers, Save vs DM

The original FFX is a slightly better match. The best way to include the Sphere Hunters concept is to change what you call the spheres. "Arcane polyhedra" is a good start. Of course the rival hunters should be a sort of comedy team. The Three Stooges or the Marx Brothers with well-chosen stats can be a good challenge. Heck, even George Burns and Gracie Allen could be a devastating team. George(Rogue):Say "Good night, Gracie." Gracie(Sorceress): Good night, Gracie. *Casts sleep*

The PCs are contracted to find shards by whichever house you like all the while racing their rivals for them. COnversly I like the idea of the 7 sphers to open the Rajah's Prison, something like that has a definet coolness to it.
Save_vs_DM 08-22-04, 01:37 AM	George and Gracie are so stolen. Hmm, I do agree X2 is much too cheery - but I didn't want to steal the atmosphere or style, just the concept. Dragonshards also work well... Keep those ideas coming. Cheers, Save vs DM

Save_vs_DM 08-23-04, 04:45 AM	Yeah, I saw that! About darn time too. Cheers, Save vs DM
Dimuscul 08-23-04, 05:32 AM	what is a sphere ???
Save_vs_DM 08-23-04, 06:34 AM	In Final Fantasy X-2, a sphere is essentially one of two things. 1. A DvD or VHS tape - something you can record audio and video on. 2. A magic item that lets you act as a class, more or less (this translates poorly outside of a video game). Cheers, Save vs DM
Dimuscul 08-23-04, 08:30 AM	Ummm it reminds me some kind of magic object and adventure for my campaign ... The magic object consist of a metalic ball with a "top" entry ... the idea is to fit some kind of small dragonshard in it, and doing it permits to record a series of sounds and images (ilusion spells)... So the players find the ball that guides them to xen'drik and they have to find dragonshards with a series of images of an explorer making a record of his exploration... Of course, the story goes darker and the guy on the "holographic" ball get killed ... -Dimus
