[QUOTE="guachi, post: 6628638, member: 6785802"] OP, you should really get GAZ 1. It's only $5 for the pdf from D&D classics. The three above points are fleshed out in enough detail with a few campaign ideas tossed in on how to handle them. And much of GAZ1 is based on B10, anyway, so it won't all be new to you. All three points above are really good things to focus on and the first two points can really permeate a campaign to the point the players can/should pick up on things fairly easily. Voices, mannerisms, dress, names, etc. should be easy clues as to an NPC's background. Names - Traladarans have Eastern European names and Thyatians have Greek or Roman names. The Hattians, like Baron von Hendriks, have German or Austrian names. Dress - There is distinctive dress for both. Traladarans are colorful and Thyatians are muted. But Thyatians are wealthier so you can always highlight the poverty of the natives. Voices - Trot out your best/worst Russian or Polish accent for a Traladaran. Eventhough Thyatians are Greek/Roman I like to give them an English accent of somekind and an RP for the upper crust. Bigoted Hattians get obvious German accents. As to point 3, if you introduce it in levels 1-3 somewhere it gives a nice contrast to the sad reality that B10 introduces. [/QUOTE]
