Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yair" data-source="post: 3213774" data-attributes="member: 10913">I'd like to create a comprehensive list of all D&D 3.x published settings. Follwing discussion <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3212020#post3212020" target="_blank">here</a>, I decided to create several lists to provide for different needs.What I want are settings for D&D 3.x. I take that to mean that I can take a D&D character, plunge it into the setting, and play things out with the core rules. That said, here are the criteria:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Additions to the core rules are acceptable, by which I mean compulsory ones. For example, Eberron adds Action Points. New options are always welcome (like new races and feats and so on), I am not referring to that here but of course they aren't a problem too.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Limitations on using certain elements of the core rules are acceptable, though they don't deserve to be on the main D&D-Settings list. If, for example, the setting does not allow Wizards, it's still worth a mention on the "Limited" list. I'd keep settings with minor limitations, such as not allowing Gnomes, on the main list.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Changes to the core rules are generally not acceptable, if you change the rules you really aren't playing D&D anymore. Again, however, if the changes are small I'd keep the item on the lists.</li> </ul>Please note the "scope" of the setting (and if there is a world-book, please tell me).<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">World: Most world-books (I find) describe in detail one continent, and provide some vague information on the world in general and on its environment (other planes, cosmology, deities, and so on). I take that to mean the setting described is a fantasy "world". A "World+" scope would imply describing several continents, rich details on several outer planes, and so on.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Kingdom: Many settings focus on a fairly large area such as a duchy or kingdom, providing only sketchy details on the world beyond these limits. A book on Ancient Egypt that only covers sorounding lands with a few parapgraphs would be an example. Fairly small areas, like an archipelago, can serve as another example.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">City: Many settings focus on a single city and its soroundings, or areas of comparable size, leaving the rest of the setting vague. Standalone minisettings are often of this nature, places like Freeport or Bluffside for example.</li> </ul>In deciding on the scope, the importance is not on what is thoroughly detailed but rather on what is significantly detailed. Ptolus for example is a massively detailed City, but if "The World of Praemal" book/chapter is sufficiently large and detailed this world may very well count as having a World scope.I'd idealy want every setting's entry to include the world/setting's name, it's scope, the relevant world-book, and any changes, additions, or limitations on top of D&D. The list below contains only very partial information, I'd love help filling in the blanks.D&D SettingsAncient Egypt (Kingdom): War in Helios.
