Aldous Huxley.

True that.

I dunno, I like my post-gym high. All that enorphin, dopamine, seratonin. Makes the suffering worth it. Truthfully, it really helps with my mental health. I have mild but chronic depression, exercise is a great help.

Example of a non-humanocentric campaign: My wife ran a (sadly short lived) campaign in a setting based on the Jataka Tales. The Jataka Tales are Buddhist fables in which all(?) the characters are animals. So for the setting that meant the only available player species were the animal ones...

"When a gnome and troll love one another very much... "

Nice! I'll admit that I've never really thought about this aspect of any of my campaigns. One question, and sorry if I missed it in the OP, but where does the fey aspect come from? Is it another type of angelic/devilish experimentation? Or is there a parallel world bleeding into this one?

Yeah, I agree. The lack of cosmopolitan centres strikes me as weird. Every major trade centre we know about throughout history has been a cosmopolitan meeting place of many cultures. And people from those many cultures have settled in those trade centres. Makes sense that there'd be plenty of...

My Greyhawk game still has the setting as being pretty humanocentric. But not as much as the official sources. Since it's set post-Greyhawk Wars there's been a lot of displaced population. This has led to Greyhawk City becoming a real melting pot city. I've added suburbs outisde the city walls...

Needs more apostrophes. Sorry, I mean, A'pos'tro'p'hes

Oh yeah. That's a great choice. About the worst thing I can say about it is the climate is a little cold for my liking. D'oh! I shoulda known that. In my defence, it's a truly un-Elven sounding name.

Oddly, I heard about them just last week myself.

I too play my elves pretty racist. Non elves won't find Celene very welcoming. Elves, on the other hand would find it pretty safe and quiet. Agree on the City of Greyhawk. Plenty of ways for a PC to get shivved there. But the City itself is eternal. Does Yeomanry get caught up in the Against...

@Tonguez, sounds like you run a more religiously intolerant Veluna than me. But I get your point, it's a theocracy.

I'm just hurt that there's no love spell practitioners in my locale. Feeling very rejected. :.-(

Inspired by the "safest place in FR" thread... Where's the safest place to live in the World of Greyhawk? I'm voting for Niole Dra in Keoland. Nothing seems to ever happen there. Hell, Keoland were even late to the Greyhawk Wars (which are retconned out of existence, I know.) I have read...

That is so fetch!

The demons should look mostly human, and mostly blend in with the type of Hell. So yuppie demons in Neon Coorp World, Demon Bikers in Neon Highway, Demon John Travolta at Neon Disco. But there does need to be a tell. Maybe really disconcerting eyes, always hidden behind mirror shades. I like...

When I hear the word "foodie" my first thought is "have you never heard the word 'gourmand?'"

It is a sweet t-shirt. Very few people get both the references.

I too like them all. Although I can't help notice synthwave is the soundtrack for a lot of your Hells. This is fair. I like Demons of Synth City. Just seems like it's got more scope for play. Hell at the Disco could be one episode of this. Arcade Hell might make a good one-shot game.
