[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 2220341, member: 26473"] I haven't reached that point with my new homebrew just yet, but thanks for your interest. If I do post it somewhere, I'll include a link in my signature.I agree on all counts. I like to give the players the freedom to walk up to a ship's captain and say, "Take us to ______," and know how long it will take them to get to ______ and what they'll find when they get there. I also like to be able to drop rumours about places such as ______, like "_____ is where fire-rubies come from," or "The sorcereress-priestess rules ______ with an iron fist," without it being a plot hook: "Oh, he mentioned ______, I guess we're supposed to go there next." For me, and I think for my players, this is what brings the world to life, the sense that there is 'stuff going on' whether or not the players' characters are 'on-stage' at that moment. And satisfying my own curiosity of what lies just over the horizon is definitely part of the fun of GMing! [/QUOTE]
