[QUOTE="bret, post: 475118, member: 713"] I would suggest you add a paragraph specifically indicating common settings. Let the reader know that anything goes for setting. RPG settings can use any type of settings. Some settings include fantastical powers or creatures, while others try for some historical versimitude. Think of any setting you've seen in a movie or read in a book, that could be used in an RPG. Common settings would include pseudo-medieval swords and sorcery, space opera, near-future science fiction, Anime, espionage, golden age (Doc Savage), or the wild west. Less traditional settings could involve cybernetic rabbits fighting the farmer in a space habitat (weird version of Watership Down), ancient people creating wonderous technilogical items using mage (sometimes called Mana Punk or Steam Punk), a cross-dimentional university for all types of characters, a battle to define reality, or ancient horrors taking over the world via advertising and marketting campaigns. --- I think it is a good idea to get across the idea that just because someone doesn't like one type of RPG, that doesn't mean there isn't a different type that they may like. Typical settings include medieval or pseudo-medieval, pseudo medieval with the addition of magical [/QUOTE]
