I have (I hope I didn’t steal) idea of a character.

Old and I mean OLD elf who has amnesia, and he looks really old so everyone has questions about him, how old he is, who is he, are there even old elves?

(In old I don’t mean 200 years old, I mean he looks like grandma or grandpa)

P.s. I didn’t know what tag should I choose and took “game tales” sorry if it’s not correct

Im currently writing, building, and adding new subclasses to fit into this campaign, im using DnD beyond, me and my player dont get to meet often enough to do paper and pen, so we also discord and I use Above Vtt for maps and dice rolls.

Im making a county map in south east Missouri, mountain range to the north west, wetlands south and rolling plains and forest north east and south east, copper County, and the main town is called Eugene.

My problem is figuring out how to incorporate magic into this campaign, as far as subclasses that im allowing in, are based on fighter, barbarian, cleric, ranger, bard, and rogue.

Any help, or input would be very helpful, I want to work as much out as possible, unlike my current campaign where im writing and adding stuff a session or two in advance.

So I have an idea for a slow discovery horror comedy concept for my party if 4 lvl 3 players of a small secluded town/community they meet on the road and am seeking tips, advice, fleshing out of what I think can be a multi session folk horror 'Adventure' for my party.

The idea: The party (lvl 3 Dwarf Forge Cleric, Haragon Lore Bard, legacy Half Elf homebrew Warlock and Tiefling BM Ranger) arrive in a small town hoping to find a long rest to find a seemingly normal town until they eventually notice that the town is overwhelming populated by older people (species realitive 60s+), they're are younger people but vastly outnumbered and only serve functional/service roles in the town (an overly nervous tavern server, a quiet shopkeep so)

The Eventual Reveal: The town is known to be a retirement community where older folks live out their later years in peace but a Demon (I'm thinking a Bulezau) has dealt with the old folks in their retirement community to give them youthful vigor and supernatural strength (buffed Strength and Constitution above that from the normal Commoner stats, maybe even the occasional Berserker stats, but a town off multiple would be potentially deadly) and now outnumber the youthful inhabitants of the town and are forced to remain indoors during the day so that the supernaturally imbued old folks of the town has completely taken over and relive their youth whilst believing their younger town folk to be naive and need to be protected from the outside world from their towns boarders.

Mainly wanting tips, advice and a sounding board for idea as to what to add to prolong the mystery, instill terror and uncertainty and beef up an idea I currently have and see if I can beef it up because I think it'll be fun.

So my school basically has a Dungeons & Dragons club if you know what that is. If you don't know, I'm not gonna explain it cuz I'm too lazy, so go ask Google yourself. Anyways, getting onto it.

I've become a dungeon master leading my own campaign. I got a group of 3 people, and thought to myself, "Hey, what if my campaign was PursuitCore/2000s-2010s style?", so I went with it and decided to do a D&D PursuitCore Homebrew campaign for my group of 3 people, one problem tho...

I BARLEY KNOW ANY PURSUITCORE LORE, NOR ANYTHING ABOUT THE DIFFERENT SPECIES/RACES IN PURSUITCORE!!1! D:

(I only really know Gameplay, and some/barley any lore...)

So, I'm reaching out to YOU guys on this sub for some help and advice and tips. Since you guys seem to know a lot about the game & its lore and such (well, this IS the subreddit for the game after all!)

Context on my experience level :

- Been a dm for 6y

(Mostly a DM , I'm a bit too much as a player regrettably)

- lots of homebrew & improv

(I've done acting work/ an enjoy hobby writing)

- better at storytelling than game balance

(Lots of rule of cool, and rule bending for players sake)

Mainly looking for feedback on stuff marked with : ❓

And ideas for stuff marked with : ❗

⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅l

Setting background / idea :

noble dark fantasy, players are the last of the age of heroes, seeking to hunt disparaged divine entities in a gambit to fix their world, the barriers between planes begin to blur without the power that is, smothering the world in a great cataclysm.

Level 15 (3 to 4 players) (might get more)

❓Starting epic boon

Each "God" hunt takes the players to a land warped by another plane / planes spilling into the region, were they must reach / get too a divine boss monster / character

Overarching goal of collecting planar shards off the gods to fix the cataclysm

⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅l

Hunts loop :

❓Players get a choice of magic items from a list catered to them and the area at the start of the hunt and it's returned by the end.

❗ items suplied by "goodseeker karn" who is shady & obviously totally evil but not a threat, more of a; enemy of my enemy thing

Areas are themed around specific mechanics or ideas, trying to keep encounters short, sweet, and flavorful

⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅l

Starting area :

Starting hunt is an unearthly coast draped in endless starlight, more of a peaceful and tragic feeling, the region was drowned and warped by the astral and water planes, PC's are after a celestial dragon (edit to a lunar dragon stat block) sitting atop a sea spire, to reach the spire they have to

❓ Lunar dragon boss edits, breath weapon has similar effect to spell distort distance & a (heavily nerfed) version of vision of elapsing eons

❓the boss is themed around isolation and despair, and visually reflections and mirrors it would be implied reflavored versions of cold light walkers (RotF) in the area are people who gave into the despair inflicted by the regions deity

Themes : cold starlight, crystals, reflections, aberrations, the dangers of cosmic beauty

Reach an observatory on the beach that points them to the sea spire and gives them the information to properly reach the spire

❗Observatory puzzle to get a constalation or star map that safely leads to the sea spire

❗Using portal network to hop between islands to reach the spire

So so sorry if this is a lot

I'm sure I'll be fine, Ive got a lot of prep done already and I'm confident in my ability to improv and tell a story my players will enjoy

I just also like feedback and hearing others, Imainly need help with the puzzle bit, not the best at making those
