Jewel of the North, formerly know as vincegetorix
Thanks everyone. I was out today, but every second I had free went to read the description of the KW you made for me. I must say this is utterly fascinating. I now kinda understand why some say that FR is bland. Mystara is without a doubt a kitchen sink setting, but with every bit in said sink being flavorful and weird. I does look like a fantasy setting, not just a variation on real-life medieval times.
I think the part I like the most (after the Hollow World thing, its like the most fascinating thing in the world!) is the easy real-life culture equivalent. Most of the time I play in Faerun to save some time, but since most of my player dont know much of the lore and the different culture arent that easy to grasp a first sight, all character is more or less a white man/woman from one of the big cities on the Sword Coast. I think with Mystara I'd have a easier time getting them to play characters from more exotic locations because it would be easier for them to know how to roleplay such characters.
I think I'll try to get my hands on some Known World stuff. I'm on paternity leave for 5 months, so I have all the time in the world.
Thanks again guys.
