An Arcanum Sequel? - Leonard Boyarsky

Hey Grossenschwaum, had I been a little more awake the other day, the "Journey to the Center of the Earth" idea would have occured to me. Hell, it should have anyway!

 

I was wondering why no one else picked up on that; it practically jumped out a me. Then again, I was wired on...something. It was probably the two liters of mountain dew or something. Dr. Pepper. Something...whatever. It's gone now.

 

You know - The underworld idea might not be so bad after all. Done as an addition, of course. A lost race of Dwarves, tons of monsters, and a huge area to explore.

It's a concept that's been used in many of the RPGs I have played. Even if you don't go into the Void, the "island" facades should work to create chasms. Probably have to play around with the lighting, but it's sounding good so far. Add the Void vegetation here and there to create an ecosystem, a few streams. I just might give it a try.

As for that "something" you were wired on - whatever it is, I could use about a gallon of it. It's a Monday....

 

Seeing as we are talking about plot lines how about a similar plot line to that of the book 'Magician'. Portal opened to another world with an invading army paused to pour through into the world of Arcanum. Doesn't have to be the void, does it?

 

Ah, guys...

This Feist character didn't create anything new. I've read a dozen or so stories along those lines through the years. So, unless Feist first published his work in the very eary 1970's, all you would need to do is avoid using his characters' names and do it to it!
