Your Ultimate Homebrew

dmccoy1693 · Sep 27, 2007

A question just popped in my head and I thought I'd ask the ENWorld crowd:

If there must be ONE THING in that you have to your ultimate homebrew setting, what must it be?

I'm interested in knowing... please share.

That's two things.

Well, if it's only got one thing that I like, I'd hardly call it my ultimate homebrew...

I've got what I consider my ultimate homebrew. It's got dozens of things that are different from the core assumptions.

Ok, well what's the starting point. Your core, first idea that makes you first go, "Yea, I have to have that in my homebrew."

Arcane magics that have sociological impact. And it is in my homebrew.

Examples:
Ring Gates used for expedient postal purposes
Scry Stones (homebrew magic item) used for monitoring certain places

and other items that mimic Victorian era technology

Nice one.

I'd say that the setting would have to be open an flexible enough to allow the PCs to the heroes.

Small gods. In my homebrew gods would be small-time, regional operators. There would be a god of The Windy Woods or The Boiling Desert or the god of The Small and Interestingly Shaped Stone on That Hill Over There. Divine intervention would be something that happens on a fairly regular basis. God sightings wouldndn't be a daily occurrence but everyone at least knows a freind of a friend who has had a brief encounter with a god.
