[QUOTE="Tristissima, post: 297762, member: 6162"] Well, seeing as how Nomenclature (the setting I currently have bursting from my pores) is fantasy inspired by both Lovecraft and elements of queer theory, it will have certain . . . horrific elements to it. I plan to use every sick and disgusting thing I can think of for my villains. The Temple District (the place in the city you least want to be in late at night when the stars align) will be groin-deep in every degradation of the human condition possible. Of the (Goddess, it must be around 70-80) deities I have listed in my notebook, only I think 9 have a good alignment. A spiritual taint fills everything, strengthening with the separation of names and language one imposes between oneself and the rest of the world. Indeed, that which is often a person's most powerful strength -- words, communication, language -- is in fact the force responsible for much of the suffering of the World Now, for the taint and the insanity which runs rampant. It, in fact, limits one's powers and abilities to the sane, that which can be comprehended and put into words. The most heroic personality of the War at the Beginning of the World (at least to some) has become a hideous, insane, ugly, blind, idiot (well, relatively, as I recall his Int is 13) god of chaos and evil. As you can see, I am turning several staple D&D elements and turning them on their head. Moreso is the lack of core monsters and races other than humans. Sorry about the bad grammar. Everything should seem weird to the players, unexpected and unknown. Hopefully, it will work out, though i have very little idea how to actually physically run it. [/QUOTE]
