[QUOTE="Slit518, post: 7381066, member: 6803713"] With varying cultures, peoples, technological advances, faiths, etc... I would find it hard, and very dumbed-down if it were only a version of medieval Europe. There is so much more than that, so much more. I can understand in D&D's fledgling stages that may have been the case, and easiest to translate. But there is a whole wide world with rich history out there. I like to explore different ancient cultures. American cultures, middle-eastern cultures, Asian cultures, extinct cultures, etc... In my world you wont just have Druid, because that is very Western European. Shaman is a more universal term, many cultures have Shaman. Cleric also screams European to me, though it's Greek in origin, this can easily be changed by the term Priest, Holy Man, Prophet, etc... Bard widely Western European. For a support roll, I decide to go Warlord. Of course these options will be available, but I am also tinkering with the idea of presenting a few alternatives ([I]as opposed to just giving a class an alternate name[/I]). The tone of the world is in many colors and shades. Personally, I would play it like Dark Fantasy. But it also depends on what type of setting you're in. A certain continent might be in peace and see little turmoil, while other areas may be more prone to conflict. If there is enough interest garnered I will share some of my hand drawn crude maps. These maps are several years old, and may not be the final edit. If they are a WotC intellectual property, they unfortunately wont be making any official appearances. But, from a DM dabbling in my game world, feel free to change anything you think needs adding or subtracting. [/QUOTE]
