[QUOTE="Meech17, post: 9309877, member: 7044459"] No.. But maybe a little.. But mostly no. My 5E game takes place in a world I kind of invented, but by invented I mean I took things I liked and smooshed them all together. [LIST] [*] I've inserted Kithicor forest and Highpass from EverQuest as points of interest. [*] The players are tracking down magical gems that enhance their abilities like Deltora Quest. [*]There are some major political factions at play also looking for these gems, including a culty religious leader secretly pulling the strings behind the scenes in his kingdom, from.... A lot of things? The Three Musketeers, and I'm sure many many others. [*]Another faction is the potentially noble, potentially nefarious Princess Sophie. I'm yet undecided. The players haven't met her yet, but have heard about her, and are really keen on meeting her, so I need to figure out where she stands soon. She was however lifted directly from my older brother's campaign I played in as a teen. [*]These factions are all hunting for these gems to assemble them together and summon a powerful entity in order to obtain a wish, in the theme of Dragon Ball. [*]I've also inserted a lot of things from the Forgotten Realms. The Pantheon, the races, and some other general D&D lore I didn't feel compelled to invent on my own. My "World" very much could just be a continent on the same planet as the Sword Coast. [/LIST] None of it is original, but in a way it's been remixed and flavored to be something kind of new.
