To clear up any ambiguity, this is the book I recommended earlier: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0345461517/qid=1078212491//ref=pd_ka_1/102-5810757-4461745?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 This is the only book published in the series as of yet...

I often wonder why nobody has done a CAS rpg (well, aside from the obvious issue that almost nobody at all knows who CAS is) - I think Zothique would be the best for this. The mood and tone of this world is really great and surprisingly different from most stuff out there - a world in...

Yeah, I don't think it would be very interesting at all if you haven't read and enjoyed the books. As another example, I don't want to bother with Robert Jordan so I'm certainly not interested in the Wheel of Time RPG setting material at all. I think that worlds based on literature are going...

"Aye Mr. Lang, sir," Vemuz replies, trying to quickly regain his composure. Vemuz lowers his voice to a conspiratorial tone. "Aye he was, Mr. Lang. That one is trouble. Mark my words. I've had my eye on him from the start and I tell you that no good will come of that one."

*cringe* It hurts us. It HURTS us. Filthy boxeses!!!!!

Yeah, I'm taking a look at the riddle of steel and lejendary adventures now. In addition to the rules heavy issue, I also find 3e to be kind of inflexible in genre/mood/tone without tons of work - precisely because it's so rules heavy that changes for a seemingly simple goal start impacting...

The problem with lots of loot in a low magic world is that players don't want to blow all of their loot on ale and whores, despite their characters' best interests. Ale and whores should be motivation enough.

How about a very large ocean planet instead of an infinite plane? From a practical in-game campaign perspective there seems to be little difference to me. Either way you can throw in as much uncharted stuff as you need, which is really the main point of an infinite-islands ocean world, no?

I'm not fond of the output of campaign cartographer. I've got a thing against graphics that aren't anti-aliased (i.e. you see the jaggedy pixelated edges of all the lines instead of nice smooth lines) and to be honest, I think the maps just turn out pretty ugly. It also kind of looks like it...

Vemuz pretends to scarcely notice, grunting acknowledgement with a quick "Mr. Sanchez" as he 'continues' down the ship toward the hold. In truth, his mind is reeling. *Damnable looters and thieves. That is my grandfather's ship...my ship. That is my gold!* As soon as Lupe is out of sight he...

listen: 19 + 2 = 21

That would be great. Thanks!

Hi Eosin, Nice re-write. I can definitely see how the world suddenly becomes much more compelling with the second take. Let me try... ORIGINAL: NEW BLURB: What do you think?

Vemuz still waits by the door...

Nice idea Billy. Do you have any idea of what lies beyond the city or is it just not in the plans for it to ever come up? It's interesting to see the idea centered around a smaller area - Ray Winniger style - rather than the larger world-encompassing ideas more common on this thread.

That sounds great. How do you pull this off? They run a grim campaign in Eidolas, and then have side-quests in Oeiros where they can make new characters each time? Then you weave the side-quests into the plot in Eidolas?

I notice the world seems designed around a literary theme rather than the more material themes that are more common for world building basis. How do you infuse such kinds of themes into world building and running the game? What are the nuts and bolts that make the world support these abstract...

Cool stuff, and in actuality it doesn't even have to be unnatural! Have you heard about the pentagon study on sudden climate change that was covered in Fortune magazine? http://www.fortune.com/fortune/technology/articles/0,15114,582584,00.html There could be some great grist for your mill in...

Yowsers! What's your opinion on Eberron??? Hehe.

I like the premise behind Plateau World, Hand of Evil. What is the current technology level and how does it compare to the technology level at the height of the age of hubris? A spin on your idea that I think also would be neat would be to create a stone aged jungle/prehistoric themed world...
