My idea (probably been done before somewhere) for a campaign setting in our groups latest campaign, is one of the players makes a deal with Asmodeus involving selling his soul, and gains access to an Antigenisis spell; the player uses this spell to fragment the material plane into an asteroid belt of debris that can no longer support itself. The other main character player makes an equally stupid deal with Asmodeus to try and save people before they all die, and he too is bumped up to epic levels. At the moment it is irrelevent how many people he saves.

The result is it orbits the Spire, which peaks through the centre of the splintered material and weakens all magic. In addition, the destruction of the material plane causes the ethereal and shadow planes to merge, creating an atmosphere-like weave of radiation that encompasses the debris field.
-This could in tern give birth to something like the spellplague, reflavored a bit and have a zombiegetton style feel

With no magic, the players are trapped on the material plane and must find a way off. They revert back to their normal forms while on the material plane as the magic that super powered them is gone. If they ever leave the material plane they immediately jump up to level 21 again, and regain their epic abilities.

The other two players are divine agents, sent by Asmodeus to make sure the two soul-selling players accomplish what he needs them to do. To ensure that his plan works, he links the souls of the four players together (technically he owns all 4 of their souls). All this means ATM is none of them can be raised, and remaking a character or any enervations invokes level loss for the whole party; not just ones self.

Well, what do you think? Development, more ideas, PEACH is always appreciated. Thanks

How is the material plane different now that it has been fragmented? Also, is everyone the same level on the material plane, and do the agents of asmodeus jump up to epic when they leave the material plane?
