[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5758870, member: 54846"] I didn't intend to be quite so negative. Instead I'm offering some examples: [B]The Great Dark North[/B]: Beyond the Teeth of the World mountains, the sun has stopped shining. Snow and darkness has covered the land for two hundred years. Some have allied with blood-drinking fiends to keep them warm, fed and safe from the other horrors of the dark and cold, while some bits of humanity have allied in frost-coated fortresses to save them, but food grows scarce. Themes: Barbarism and Bleakness when the Sun Goes Out.
