A couple of weeks ago I was grabbed by an idea that's now busily fizzing away, and may make up the basis of my next campaign, if indeed there is such a thing. (That said, that's looking increasingly unlikely. My interest in D&D has been waning fairly dramatically for some time, and with the potential house move in the offing my involvement may be coming to an end. At the very least, it's likely to be a while, by which time I may favour something else.)
Anyway, the premise of the campaign can be described as follows: One part "The Night Manager", one part "Nineteen Eighty-Four", and one part "The Demolished Man", all set in the continent of Sarlona on Eberron. The PCs are agents of the rebellion against the repressive thought-police state of that continent. Fairly grim, very paranoid, with lots of sneaking around and skullduggery.
The biggest problem with the concept as it stands is that it depends pretty heavily on psionics, which 5e doesn't currently support (and the ideas WotC have floated for psionics in this edition seem to take it in a very different direction). That means the campaign would probably have to be 3e-based, and I'm not entirely keen on stepping back into that morass...
But it's a cool concept, no?
