@ Oliver – The Rending kind of reminded me of the World of Warcraft expansion that completely changed certain areas of the game (Cataclysm?). I’m not a huge WoW player but I heard it turned that game upside down in certain areas. I imagine an event like The Rending could do something similar to your campaign. I could see it being useful for a long running campaign where you just needed to mix things up a little bit.

Thanks, Oliver! Glad you liked a few of them.

Heh, those are some cool ideas. I particularly like the Rending. Reminds me of what happened in Star Wars VII (right at the end… kind of convenient that!). But also a mana storm is seriously cool. I could imagine that happening at the height of a battle, with all the magic getting let off it would sort of “cook up” the magic in the region. At Waterloo it was very cinematic like that, lots of black clouds overhead, possibly lightning and sweeping winds and rain (can’t remember exactly, but it was certainly dramatic!).
