I promised my group I would start this so they could come on here and post some ideas for new games and campaigns. They are supposed to post 5 ideas each and I will post 5 and then we will discuss which ones we like. This way I can be better planned when the next game comes out. So I will post mine in the next few days and then we will see what they come up with. Feel free to post your own ideas on games and some help on the campaign ideas they or I come up with.

1) All working together for a single cause. Low level all the way up to Epic. Make sure the players have an ambition for their character that the DM can help them achieve (become king, start a temple, lead a thieve's guild, etc). Once these goals are reached, a schism develops in the group. Allow them to go off as individuals or even pair up. Develop animosity that leads to eventual PvP. The survivor(s) become either Heroes, BBEGs or gods for the next campaign.

Make sure the group is cool wit' killin' each other at the end. I've found that this can be a lot of fun. The players will likely start to scheme against each other before the game gets Epic. Allow differing alignments, etc. Good fun.

2) Play an all Evil game. Make it high powered. Allow the players to make some really cool and powerful doods. Make sure these characters aren't candy evil, but truly horrible people. Take it from low level through Epic. Then retire the characters and start over from level one as Good characters that will eventually have to face off against the characters they just made. The DM will, of course, have to make some adjustments to throw in some surprises. Allies, alliances, etc that the players didn't set up when they played the BBEGs.

We tried this but only got through the Evil part before 4e came out. And then our DM bailed cuz he didn't like 4e. Lame.

Posted two top 5 list for my group to choose from.

Also what about if we do a Dragon/mount rider game. Mounts would have to be flying. We could roll 2 PCs at first and start play as the monut till it get old enough to be a mount then every time a story comes to a end we switch PCs between the mount and the rider till they meet. Then play as a combo PCs using mount rules.

I like the idea greatly. I think that it would be awesome to play this kind of campaign. Thanks for thinking of it.

Undead and the like will mean a different start then others. I was planning straight from the egg type start. Would you rather just pick your final pick from your list or mix all the list and have me make a random list and roll for it that?

I think it depends on how yyou plan on ranomising it. If it from the list that I made then that is fine but if it is the list of everyone elses picks too then I would rather just pick my final one and be done with it.

I just want to pick my own mount. I mean your idea is cool and all but I took a very long look at the picks and those are the ones that I really want to be.

Sorry I know I am being stubborn on this but you know me that should not be a surprise to you.

The first thief is out, sorry it is over powering. The other one is out because it is a specific thief of life and as such can not be played. The rest are good.

I'm worried about 1 and 2. So they are maybes depending on what the others pick. Also the lich requires a non-born start so if you were wanting a born from egg beginning then you might want to think about that before the final pick.

There is a Fariedragon that is meduim in the draconomicon. That is the only thing close to a dragonfly I could find. The rest seem fine except the star couatl is a maybe but the cloud is fine.

I am trying to deicde on the mount I want as I am typing this. Just hard because I am looking for a specific look to go with the race that I am thinking of being for my rider. Will let you know as soon as I find something that matches what I want.
