Jan 15, 2013 21:50:17 For the campaign I'm writing, the party is going to be going from big dungeon to big dungeon as the primary quest arcs. (Of course there's other things, but that's not what this post is about) and I'm trying to come up with a list of all the different types of "regions" or biomes or whatever for the temples to be based on. I currently have

Salt Flats

Sandy Desert

Volcano

Forest Ridge

Sea of Silt

the Last Sea

Obsidian

Any more ideas?

Happy Gaming

Planes:
Material
Inner Elemental Planes
Grey
Black
Hollow
Lands Within the Wind*
Astral Sea*

Regions:
Crimson Savannah
Jagged Cliffs
Last Sea
Scorched Plateau
Hinterlands
Forest Ridge
Ringing Mountains
Tyr Region
Sea of Silt
Valley of Dust and Fire
Southern Wastes
Dead Lands

Material Plane Bio-Regions:
Grasslands
Mountains
Cliffs
Forest
Swamp
Sea
Caldera
Sand Desert
Scrub Plains
Rocky Wastes
Obsidian Plain
Salt Flats
Area near Pristine Tower (Sunwarped)
Silt (Shallows/Depths)
Coast
Croplands

That's all that come to mind, but again, depends on what you're asking for. There could be more. There are definitely more in the other planes.

I recently had a lot of success using a campaign arc set in the Salt Marsh / Salt Meres. A throw-away NPC turned into an on-going side quest about building a new city there, so the players keep returning. To emphasise the saltiness, I had it that whenever the PCs were not at full HP they would take 2 damage at the start of their turn (or lose a healing surge or two while travelling) because all the salt getting on their scratches.
