Let's brainstorm ideas for our campaign setting here.

Crazy idea–campaign set in parallel Earth.

About 1000 AD

Europeans settling America 500 years early—but FIlled WIth Monsters! Ruins of Atlantean civilization!

My First Pitch: this is what my mind pushed out: first_pitch.docx

The campaign begins in 1130 AD in the High Middle Ages.

So spells and classes might have one of these traditions associated with it. Hermetism might be the one most associated with wizards while shamanism is clearly a druid for instance.

• Hermetism - wizard
• Celtic Shamanism - druid
• Mithraism - A cleric, obviously
• Kabbalah - The golem comes from this tradition;
• Hasidim - Estatics; maybe a cleric?
• Sufism - These are the dudes who stick swords through their bodies during rituals
• Hellenic Mysticism - Jove and Demeter; Sol Invictus?
• Zoroastrianism - Like Hermetism but focused on the “light” of the almighty; is this a sorcerer? Different messiah from Hermetism which is interesting.
