[QUOTE="Moggthegob, post: 3830268, member: 49515"] I agree with the one character a piece sentiments at least until we all start getting a real feel for the rules and its intricacies. Something else we may haveto deal with is what to do with the additional PHBs. As of right now we have only one set of core rulebooks. According to wizards, they are talking about one set of core rulebooks per year. That's a lot of rules and considering Wizards recent track record, it is likely that it will not all be balanced. Also, what about gnomes. They will apparently be in the MM and are a long time favorite of many, do we allow them. And for continuity purposes when they release "new" races with additional PHBs I can just feel continuity getting completely messed up. Wik, the carribean idea is nice but I kind of feel like a Greece or a Serbia, A place near a sea where there may or may not be islands, but there is also forests, and(if we do a past ages things,which I really do like) presumably ruins of some sort within the area nearby. I like the mountains serving as a natural barrier and the city and its environs sort of being contained by them. My idea is that during the age before this one there was lots of magic and many magical wars and empires. It was the height of Human existence and then through magic wars the empire split apart and feel into disuse. People became less concerned with wealth and more concerned with feeding themselves. Due to latent memories of this, magic is viewed upon with some disdain,except the healing magic of holy men, who wield considerable power. Just now, through time and innovation people are becoming more bold and curious and getting ready to explore(and conquer). The city that it is based around(city X for now) is a hub of trading and such for all of the small towns and cities existing on this side of the mountains. Maybe it is even the capital of a nation that these little cities and towns have decided to have exist for their protection from the unknown, as every now and then goblins and orcs come from the mountains to give them trouble and the seas sometimes bring worse threats. Or maybe city X is a city-state, the most affluent one on this side of the mountains. Just some ideas. Basically trying to mix the fall of rome with the dark ages with the founding of the Greek city-states. [/QUOTE]
