03-07-04, 09:51 PM Many people play in different periods of Faerun, like the past. But what about the Future? How would have Faerun have changed in a thousand years?

Has Technology advance or is Magic still supreme? Or have them merged together in a Techno-magic mix?

Has the Silver Marches survived? Is Cormyr or Sembia still strong? Are the Dales still free? How powerful is Waterdeep?

Which Gods/desses have survived over the years? How have they changed? Is Silvanus a militant environmentalist? Has Bane be CyricOr is it vice versa? Is Mystra the true Queen of Magic or does she have to share? Which Gods/ddesses have advanced their DR or which have fallen? Are there new Gods/ddesses? Who are they?

Are the Moonstars and Harpers still in conflict or have they made peace? How powerful is the Cult of the Dragon? Or the Zhentarim hold power? Have the Red Wizards changed to a more mercentile aspect or have they revered to their previous ways?

Do the Chosen of Mystra (And/or others) still exist? Are they sane or mad? Who are the most important NPC in the World at that time?

What would it be like? Have you created a campain in the future? If so, what are your adventures like?

03-08-04, 05:02 AM 2372 is way farther than we've ever done, but we did try a one shot adventure 50 years in the future once. The coolest part was seeing what happened to our normal characters (this was, of course, assuming they hadn't died).

03-08-04, 09:49 AM I don't see how Lantan could avoid becoming techno-magic (or magitech, if you prefer). Between their mechanical inventiveness and inherant magic capabilities, it seems like the natural course of events for the country.

Then again, you're looking so far into the future that pretty much everywhere should be fairly magitech. The presence of magic may slow technological advancement, but it won't hault it altogether.

03-08-04, 11:04 AM Wow..that is far. I'm in 1426 right now playing and thought that was out there.

I'd say it certainly would advance. Maybe a combination of the two ala-Final Fantasy.

I'd suggest getting the Streamworks and Sorcery 3rd party book for some info. I was going to to do a game about 1500 years in the future, just never got that far.

03-08-04, 11:44 AM Well, what's 1426 like in your campaign. How has the future changed things?

03-08-04, 09:25 PM We did a brief stint that was 999 years into the future (present day: 1372/1373) that was based on Shar beating the crap outta Selune and then becoming some sort of uber-goddess and basically wrecking the whole pantheon, removing alot of gods from power/killing them.....

Now we've gotta see if we can keep the one "little" event that causes that from happening (again).
