[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2641797, member: 35678"] *claws at computer screen* please i wanna see this magician!!!! I completely agree with you in wanting to create a campaign with more myth and folklore influences in it that just "high fantasy" (take this in whatever way you will). Tolkien helps a lot with this, but most medieval fantasy is (EDIT: Contemporary Medieval Fantasy), as you stated, like a video game. Don't get me wrong here, i like playing in FR to ahve a "fun campaign" (read: basically a campaign in which everything dosnt have to make sense; high magic; and that video game-y feel to it). My campaign setting (which we are currently not playing in :( , due to my need to develop it a bit more) is inspired by 1) Tolkien and 2) real life folklore, history, myth, legends, etc. More or less, it is in that order. For example, in real life, goblins are basically fairies of a sort, but in middle-earth (and D&D, although i dont like WotC's take) they are a human-ish race of backstabbers that hate dwarves blah blah blah. Furthermore, in standard D&D, goblins and orcs are different races, in middle earth they are the same race, adn there werent any bugbears or hobgoblins. To sum all that up, IMC, goblins and orcs are the same race, there are no hobgoblins or bugbears and they still hate dwarves. So my campaign is like middle-earth and earths folklore put together, to make a completely new hybrid of the two. It sounds like you are doing something very similar RC; and i like what i have heard thus far; please keep the submissions coming. BTW, i really like the way you present your veiws in regards to medieval fantasy. if you need an ear for any ideas, dont be afraid to drop them at my feet :D esp. ones that are inspired by real life folklore and mythology. Dammit, do i love finding ideas in those! email: Nyaricus -at- hotmail -dot- com tty soon [/QUOTE]
