Default setting-is there more?

jhilahd · Jun 23, 2008

Ok, I like the default setting alot more than I would have thought.

With the addition of Heathen from the WotC site, it spurred my interest for more info on this world. A larger map of the world would be great. In short, more baby, more!!

Here's the area's/publications I know that have some info, please add or correct me:

PHB has tidbits of info from the Character Races.
DMG has info on Fallcrest and very brief overview of Nerath.
KotS has Winterhaven and I'm sure more info in the overall storyline.
Wolves of Maldeen
Heathen
The Ashen Covenant

What am I missing?

I guess, beyond shear curiosity, why I want to know more is to help my players build on their characters. history/background and make the world more interesting.

Now I know, I can add/subtract all I want for my own vision of the game world, but I'm slacker

and love to parallel official stuff.

Ok, 'nuff said. Thanks!

The 4e preview books actually have a lot of info on the races and base D&D setting assumptions. I consider them well worth buying, especially now that you can get them on Amazon for like $8-$9.

My second recommendation would be to just let more world details get fleshed out in play. Setting creation doesn't have to happen only away from the table.
