Here is an idea I have for a game. It is actually based on another Board Game and it is to be whimsical and fun: The World of Crystalia: Super Dungeon Explore Long ago the gods created the world of Crystalia a world of beauty and slow handcrafted by the gods themselves. They filled it with all manner of creatures and watched them thrive. One of the most sacred of places created was Celestia, made high in the heavens for their children, the winged Celestians. It is a realm closer to the gods than any other. Celestia has long been a place of knowledge and peace. As the Celestian race dwindled, they retreated from the Floating Gardens, which soon overgrew into a lush rain forest teeming with life. Descendants of pirates and adventurers who traveled to the gardens in search of Celestian riches grew into the Tolo Tribe and now enjoys a life of rustic simplicity. As the Celestian race dwindled other races began to spring up: Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Halflings all came into being. Yet other races also came forth from the deep the Demonkin a race of demonic looking tricksters that have a hidden motive that no other race has deciphered. These races came into prominence during the second age and built many wonders such as the Arcadian Dunes. Lusting for power, Arcadia’s rulers sought to elevate themselves to the peerage of hallowed Celestia. The cataclysmic results left to the destruction of their once proud realm. Now the Colossus of Arcadia watches over the landscape of ash and sand with no one knowing what exactly happened to this ill land. During the third age Crystalia Castle built by the humans that is ringed with high walls, reaching towers, and sky piercing minarets, Crystalia Castle is the beating heart of the realm. Despite its name, Crystalia is not just a castle. It is also a sprawling and prosperous city, providing protection and security to those who call it home. So long as Crystalia Castle stands, the kingdome knows hope. At the same time the Elves, Halflings, and Fairies carved out a place in Fae Wood. Inside of the Fae Wood lives the Deeproot Tree. It is said that the Deeproot Tree sprouted every seed of every plant upon Crystalia. Wise travellers avoid the Fae Woods unless invited in or accompanied by one of the kin that live within. Finally built during this age is the Clockwork Cove. When rugged and pragmatic dwarven engineering was paired with gnomish curiousity and whimsy, true wonders were created. Now, the city of Areals is a rich and bustling port town. Peace and freedom was known throughout the land. This was all changed in the Fourth and current age, known as the age of adventure. A dark being entered into the world neither man nor any creature know, the being known as the Dark Consul began to spread his influence and corrupted parts of the world. He began creating monstrous creatures to do his bidding. In the center of the Scalding Sea he created the Consul’s Tower. A dark spire that thrusts towards the sky, it casts a shadow of despair across the land. The Nether Rifts spread like a disease, the sickly glowing chasms are whispered to be paths to the underworld where the Consul’s victims suffer eternal torment. Circling the dark realm stand the Grim Heralds: foreboding, living statues, whose gaze can kill an erstwhile Hero where they stand. It is in this age that our heroes live they come from all walks of life to heed the call of adventure and rid the world of the evils that hold the Consul to this world and give him his power. Will you answer the call? Our Heroes Fire Ember Mage Seasoned Human Female Hero The soul of the mage will reflect the power that they develop. Ember Mages are quick to anger, and wield terrible blasts of fire and brimstone. Their destructive magic is highly sought after by adventuring parties willing to take the risk.
