Here is the maps showing the largest cities in Europe at around 1100, these cities have populations of 25,000 or more and are called Metropolises according to the standard 3.5 rules. https://orig00.deviantart.net/e0dd/f/2018/079/7/2/europe_1100_ad_numbered_hex_map_by_thomasbowman255-dc6gpdq.png

Here is my map of Europe with more clearly numbered hexes than the original that I started out with: https://orig00.deviantart.net/91fc/f/2018/079/b/5/europe_1100_ad_numbered_hex_map_by_thomasbowman255-dc6fqoe.png Now all that remains is to put the cities and labels back on the map for a brand...

I am working on a map of Europe in the year 1100 AD, at a certain point, I'm going to put cities on it, and for the purposes of Dungeons and Dragons, I would like to know who the rulers are of the various cities at that time. What is the best place to look them up at, any suggestions? I kind of...

Here is my generic D&D map of Europe with all the cities removed and hexes renumbered so as to more legible. I think you can take it from here and detail this one for D20 Pirates, and I'll do my own for my project...

To give you an idea, science works in this universe just as it does in our own, the same laws apply, but magic also works. In the future Earth side of the gate, magic doesn't work except for gods. Venus's avatar can fly through the gate and teleport herself to "Future Earth" where technology...

It would be hard to have three habitable planets in a Ptolemaic cosmology. One of those three planets would have to be in the center of the Solar System. So the Sun orbits the Earth at 1 astronomical unit or about 93 million miles. The Sun only holds a relatively constant distance from one of...

Back to this setting, the way I see it, it could be used with D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder, and possibly D&D 5.0, and since I introduced a spaceship from our near future, I would say D20 Modern/Future, since that is compatible with those other systems. Originally I got this idea as a setting with an...

This is the map without the hex numbering found at https://orig00.deviantart.net/482f/f/2018/073/6/9/europe_1100_ad_hex_map_by_thomasbowman255-dc5v7f2.png I am working on this map, replacing labeled hexes with unlabeled ones and then putting the labels back on for a much clearer map, and with...

That's not the point, the point is we're are getting robbed of a very useful word to describe Asian cultures that is not World-specific or Region Specific. You think if we use the term "Eastern Adventures" you are assuming that every D&D World is going to have such cultures in the Eastern...

Word Police! Do you have a good substitute for the word "Oriental"? I don't. Asian is no good because it is World specific, our World. Eastern is no good because it implies that the World creator puts the Oriental cultures in the Eastern end of the map or in the far east, but some people draw...

Here is my map of Europe with the labels removed and the hexes renumbered. There are some stray hexes I have to take care of, but here is what I have so far, to give you an idea of what I'm working on. This can be found at...

As a kid, when I thought of Colonialism I thought of this: So when I heard people describe "American Colonialism" I assumed that Americans were going to foreign countries, dressing up like these folk and playing the fife and drum. Oh what a terrible thing to be doing that! But I guess those...

Who gets to say that the word "orient" is inappropriate, why do they have a right to edit our dictionary and tell us what words are appropriate and what words are not? I grew up when that word was in common use, people who used that word did not hate Asians! What right to people now say its a...

What if the "Orient" was in the West of a particular campaign world, then calling it "Eastern Adventures" would be inappropriate. "Oriental Adventures" takes into account the possibility that the equivalent of Asia in a campaign world may be located in some other direction other than east, I...

All regions of the World were less diverse in the Middle Ages. People in Europe in 1100 AD for instance rarely ever saw a black man or a person from China, for instance. There is also a reason why Christopher Columbus called the first native Americans he saw, "Indians" Christopher Columbus never...

That is correct, in ancient Greek and Roman times of this world, the gods were associated with six planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The Earth goddess is also known as Terra to the Romans or Gaia to the Greeks. Gaia was the primordia deity, she is the mother of all the...

By the time they do that, I will tell them, I am not interested in discussing religion with them, and suggest they go to another site. I am moving on and discussing other aspects of this world, their time to talk about God and religion is passed, too bad for them!

I will consider this advice, but really it is just a Generic Monotheistic God, many religions have their different and conflicting belief in this God, but God is not revealing who is right and who is wrong in this, that I why their are Holy Wars. In this setting God answers prayers but so do...

Why is that? D20 Modern takes place in the "real world", sort of. in that world their are Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Jews, Buddists, Hindus and whatever. But there are also monsters and magic. So imagine D20 Modern taking place in the Middle Ages and Substituting D&D classes for the Modern...

Lets just suppose this world was created on the apparent date of January 1, 1100 AD on what would be Greenwhich mean time on the Julian calendar. People are created with memories of a historic past, with these fantastic creatures and magic included in their memories so it seems as if nothing...
