Please say it's "House of Commons" D20... or Sliders.

I know what you mean Argent and Turjan... I agree with you about the monster by territory chart- it was something I intended, but there was no room; A lot of info had to be cut (including monster stats) to fit the page count. Still, I realize now that I should have given more info- maybe 95%...

This is good stuff. For good or bad, I deliberately chose the most 'common' Empire to focus on, in the hopes that it would allow the world to be more accessible. Even there, I turned things a few degrees off kilter. As for the Canticle, maybe you're right. Maybe more detail and info would have...

Well, that's good. I'm glad both of you are able to use it, even just for theft ;D . I have to admit, aside from Dark Sun and games like Shadowrun- where the setting is bound to the rules, I've never been one to use settings as is. Like you both, I would adapt the best of my source materials. I...

I can see what you say about the metaplot aspect, but I tried to make the world interesting enough to be run in it's own right. The Canticle is almost holographic, in that the part reflects and reveals the whole, so most developments will make anyone following the world go "Oh yeah... the clues...

Hey everyone, it's been out for a while, and I've been rather quiet about it, so I guess there's no harm in asking- Are you playing Morningstar? I'm also trying to put out a feeler to see how visible the setting is, and whether it sounds interesting to those of you who don't have it yet. If this...

I'm a little late to the party, but my setting, "Morningstar" was also a semifinalist in the WotC setting search. It's a bit different from most settings, in that it's influences are more based on the ancient world-Rome and Greece instead of Medieval Europe, etc... D&Dified of course. It's still...

I'll be interested in seeing how you solve these issues... my group has been talking about shifting towards Elements of Magic in the future.

The comments above were all in good fun, but I apologize if mine came off wrong. I mean what I'm about to say in the nicest, most helpful way possible, so please don't take umbrage to it. The thing is, there are a lot of industry professionals/freelancers who frequent these boards, on top of...

These comments confuse and bewilder me.

Another thing that I can talk about is that while the Canticle can be seen as a metaplot, I prefer to see it as a tool to set the mood. The Empires are flourishing; but the bloom is beginning to fade from the rose, so to speak. The Canticle may be good, evil or neutral; and I think that many...

I've never seen Exalted... but that's interesting that I had a similar idea. As for the Morning Star Apostle class and their Foreknowledge ability; For NPCs the proper spells can be grandfathered into the character as the situation arises, and for PCs, I would hope the the GM would have a...

Oh, and here's a lttle Pronunciation guide: Hrum Vaat= First word rhymes with 'Brum' (as the Children's show character), like a comibnation of 'Boom' or 'Broom' and 'Hum'. Second word rhymes with 'knot'. Lrean= Luh*Ree* An . There is an implied schwa sound between the 'L' and 'R', and any...

One thing that got cut from the book for space reasons are details on Hrum Vaat. Hrum Vaat is ruled by Aberrations, in particualar, two new ones called Lreans and Gedge. Gedge are the workforce and lower class, and Lreans are the masterminds. A menagerie of other aberrations rounds out the...

Hi, I'm the author... Thanks for the comments. I'm definitely trying to do something different with Morningstar, but I'm on surer footing now. The oddness will make sense if you stick with us. It's a puzzle that could be solved via the first book, but which will be illuminated as the series...

Thanks a lot. :) I'm planning a few more downloads for the group in the near future. I'm glad you joined. Stick with it, even if it seems slow at times, I get busy with my various projects, but I don't forget the group. I'll be sure to put something up tghis weekend.

I only figured that out after I posted. Well that's a relief anyway. I guess I should have payed more attention to Monty's essay on creator insecurity. :)

No one here actually has Morningstar? Ouch. I'll have to work a lot harder.

Wow! That's a very intriguing setting; I had previously seen the Golden Age as what probably got me to round two, but I'm noticing a certain flavor in yours that overlaps a little bit with Morningstar. Hmm. Something to think about. At any rate, I like this write-up; it seems like a very...

Aside from those there were the other two finalists, who can't disclose their settings, and another semifinalist setting by Gary Pratt, who goes by WizardofthePlains around here. His was called 'The Alfar Tower' and has been developed since then for another system. It should be coming out...
