I don't think there will be any travel to the outer planes, but possibly the inner planes, ethereal, astral and some demi-planes. But, who knows what the story will demand?

[Uatu]

Engine-wise, the outer planes would be easiest to do (basically, they are just like somewhat more/less hospitable Prime Material Planes); the etheral and astral have their own funky rules, which we may/may not be able to implement. The worst are the inner planes (except maybe air)! Demi-planes will depend....

Be sure to include the Positive and Negative Material Planes (for a quick party demise?)...

I am going to work on this project this week. I have some ideas that I've wanted to fool around with.

Ironically, the creative juices have started flowing again b/c I've been playing NWN again. I have discovered that NWN supports linux play natively and actually runs faster under linux. Now, I can get to work on a persistent world (or whatever) and play in it from the other machine to test it out. As always, everything I see or do, I mentally translate to DC, so you can see how this might stimulate the ol' neurons.

To give a hint, you might be able to say that the design is going to get colder.

To geet back on topic, I would love to see:
-frost giant shaman, chieftain and/or female. (MM)
-frost man (FF)
-hoar fox (FF)
-cryohydra (MC1)
-yeti (MM)
-thanoi (walrus-man) (MC4) [I know they're Dragonlance, but I still think they have a place in my game ]
-polar bear (MM2 as northern bear)
-snow golem (I know, I found another golem) (MC20)
-ice lizard (FF)
-giant lynx (MM)

I forgot to mention I would like a remorhaz (MM) as well.

[Uatu]

Ah - lots of biggies there (how long was a remorhaz again? )... But what is a snow golem? Seems really weak - just put it in the sun for a while and voila...

I do like cold/icy creatures, though...

[manikus]

Well, it's a Ravenloft golem, so they're kinda bad-ass.

Hmm - that picture doesn't look like snow! (Snow golem - I dunno, the idea seems to be too much like moving snowmen to me... )

[manikus]

To be honest, when I first saw the name, I thought of Frosty the Snowman and couldn't get that stupid song out of my head for hours.

"...with a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal..."

Here's anoher idea from the MM1, the Yuan-ti snakeman

I've always liked the yuan-ti. They were the featured baddies in one of the first pnp games I ever ran.
