For those keeping track, the Bronze Age is currently in the lead. It is followed closely by "Middle Ages" , "Age of Exploration" , "Golden Age of Piracy", and "Points of Light" in a four-way tie. Though the poll has no closing date, on January 1 I'm going to ask folks what they want to see for...

I mean, I created this thread so can act as the tiebreaker if need be. So far "Bronze Age", "Golden Age of Piracy", and "Points of Light" are tied, but might not stay that way. Also, some parts aren't going to be mutually exclusive; the Bronze Age, just by its time period, is somewhat "Points of...

Real history is full of all sorts of interesting scenarios that can be incorporated into a game and, sometimes, some very surprising overlaps and connections. The only potential issue with the failing of faith would be including Clerics and Heralds in a way that would not diminish those...

Ultimately, it would be to create a playable scenario based on the agreed upon setting and using the Three Pillars established in Level Up: Exploration, Social, and Combat. There are Exploration Challenges built in to help with the first part. Social Interactions could be woven in: who can the...

Exactly! This isn't even getting into privateers and the Gold Rush. If it's actually new land/sea (thanks to being part of an extensive demiplane or such that's just been discovered) the empires are definitely going to be interested and making claims.

I think these could be a lot of fun. They also aren't mutually exclusive given one takes place at sea and the other on land.

There was a thread, a while back on new settings specifically for 5e or A5e. Folks seemed disappointed that Faerûn kept being used, which is understandable since they seem to be unable to get past Wizards of the Sword Coast. Eberron, Mystera, Athas, Krynn, Greyhawk, Spelljammer, and others tend...

So Musings: Beyond all realms lies the Weid: the Realm of Tales. It is an omniversal transient plane that has a mind and will of its own. It connects to all worlds real and unreal. Indeed, all stories created by sapient beings become real thanks to it. It manifests in the form of what is often...

Example: Felidae | Pantherinae | Panthera | Panthera Leo |.....................| P. Leo Alce (wingless griffins) || P. Leo Pteron (winged lions) |.....................| | P. Leo Griffonus or, maybe, Griffonus Griffonus (true griffins) The possible origins of both...

Would anyone watching and participating in this thread want me to expand out of the city into the world at large? I was considering doing some On the Origin of Species type stuff. Also, possibly, how the various planes fit into things. And, of course, the deities. Besides that, folks might be...

Technically the answer is the Ell, which is why it was/is so polluted. The Fire Rift could be used to power various incinerators. Some crematoriums would also likely be linked. The current city does have embalming at its disposal and cemeteries (including ones like the Magnificent Seven) exist...

I wonder what other sorts of interesting plant-based beings could be wandering around. I've seen artists do some really cool animal-plant hybrids like the cactus cat.
