[QUOTE="BiggusGeekus@Work, post: 632773, member: 7828"] Hmmm. A bit subjective. My favorite non-homebrew: Galantri from the oD&D "known world". It covered a full campaign starting your characters as lowly apprentices and having a nice transition to adventurers, nobles, archwizards, and ending with divine ascension. Nice. What I thought was poor: Diomin. Some nice artwork, the first Shaman core class ... and there my nice comments end. The back said "no elves" but all the races had long lives, great power, and hot women. The introductory adventure had a Ogre demanding money from the party with no suggestions on how to roleplay the encounter (how the players were supposed to live through that is beyond me, the encounter pops up out of nowhere and the just-made-1st level PCs have to contend with a beast that could insta-kill a max hit point barbarian on a minimum damage roll). The entire book was WRITTEN IN LARGE FONT WITH HUGE MARGINS . I could go on. Seriously. There's a lot of not-good stuff in that setting. Favorite read: Planescape. I never got to game in it though. But I can see where the factions could encorage party squabbles, especially with the factol wars. [/QUOTE]
