This sounds something vaguely akin to Althea from the Isle of Demise, except she is trapped in a maze. Another variation might be doing a variant on that move Saw, with a haunted house filled with deadly traps. The PCs must find their way out alive. The lord is the owner of the mansion. A good weakn...

The Epic Level Handbook has a few monsters likely coming from there. Eberron has its counterpart to the Far Realms: Xoriat, the plane of madness. You might look in other books by Bruce Cordell, as there is a smattering of references to the Far Realms spread throughout his books. IIRC, one of the fir...

That is if they want to live through the night. Now the party has to deal with the fiend in a city of...

There's a few things going on at the beginning of the book that makes a person worry about the mental and moral heallth of the twins. Live vivisection of intelligent beings, baiting the Telling Man by inviting vain people to a ball. These things seem like something S___ might do,

Elena's dragon is fake. It's her excuse when a village is destroyed because of her rages. Actually, if the word spread of this dragon and Elena's propaganda was successful, I think this might call for some sort of draconic boogeyman. Perhaps it was spawned from a place particularly hard hit by one ...

It sounds like a very interesting campaign idea. Regarding whether to use both Philedelphia and Staughton in different parts in the campaign? Perhaps the House is one of those weird, haunted Victorian houses, like the Winchester House. Perhaps it can move on its own, and perhaps even has its own ali...

You could have bane weapons for members of a certain religion or organization. Maybe pious or impious weapons that affect clerics, paladins and blackguards or characters with no patron deity, respectively.

Then, perhaps because he's kept alive by a mechanical heart, he hates his existence. He died to prove man was better than machine, but now a machine keeps him alive. Perhaps he hears of Dr Frankenstien's work somehow and realises he can get a real heart using it. This sounds like a good schtick for...

I don't know much about Rip van Winkle, but what if instead of fallilng asleep for a long time, he actually died and became reanimated centuries later. Perhaps he could be a bog mummy (or otherwise naturally preserved ancient dead) that simply believes he is alive? And we could use the ghost of Case...

An interesting take on North America

Anybody have this: http://www.atlas-games.com/crown/ Northern Crown. It's a high fantasy version of colonial North America, set in 1666. The books have a magic level comparable with normal D&D and use some D&D base classes, so it's not exactly Gothic Earth. Instead of different demi-human ra...

I don't know either. I like subtle parallel realities rather than turn everything on its head. I like the Justice League cartoon show's take on an anti-League, the Justice Lords who took their crusade too far, took over the world, and became tyrants. I like the "dark mirror" version rather...
