Maybe if we want to continue with the war aspect, while these two continents were fighting eachother, a bigger and badder country rose up to power but these two were too busy with their petty squabbles until it was too late and now the only way to put the other country back into place is for them to unite?

hmmm how do we fit magic in that...uh i guess that isnt really a question to more of a statement.

*or*

We could say that the rest of the world is tired of these two continents petty squabbles and demands them to start working together or else--- well im sure theres a good way to get them to agree.

Omg that last one x'D Add artblock in there with that.

Yeah seriously

Let me see if I can't dig up another fountain of ideas since I'm not sold on just a war setting alone (because they're a pain when it's just like two people.)

The first three are interesting.


What I immediately get out of it is our characters are the gods servants (after our characters died), but they're blissfully unaware that our characters are scheming to over throw them.


This could definitely be fun, especially if we did it Percy Jackson style and portrayed the gods as incompetent slobs xD

Yeah the war aspect is kind of problematic, if we were going to incorporate it I think it would just have to be a background detail, or post-war.

I've read....a grand total of one harry potter book xD Scratch that, half a harry potter book. I am ashamed.

God setting it is, I honestly always have a lot of fun with them. Could even combine it with the war stuff and make it so some of the servant characters end up befriending humans or something that just want the war to end but the gods won't let it happen so the plan to take matters into their own hands is hatched

Ooo yes, the gods are lazy, incompetent, *and* selfish. Maybe the war is for their own entertainment yeah? Hmmm it doesn't all have to be humans though, can be fantasy creatures too. Maybe we should base the gods off of the basic elements? Or concepts? Like Time, Death, Seasons etc. Or elements like Fire, Ice, Water, Plant, Earth, Wind blah blah blah

Hm do we want to give our characters abilities still? Maybe the gods, for entertainment (once again), let them picked an ability to begin with? I can imagine my healer boy Casey being like "I just want to help people." and the gods being like "Hahha he's so sweet, alright healing!"

(Meanwhiile Reuvan: Gods: So what do you want? Reuvan: I...I don't know? Gods.....a little bit of everything it is.)

So should all of our characters be servants and the actual world-natives npc's and small characters? Or both?
