[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 1310550, member: 1125"] I think this could be done using a few basic components and then options for each. And perhaps a good start point would be to examine the culture of the DnD World So combining Philosophy and Anthropology we might get something like: [U][B]Metaphysics[/B][/U] [B]Beleifs about the Universe[/B] - [I]in DnD the Universe is made up of 4 Elements, Arcane & Divine are seperated and the physical world is surrounded by Spiritual Planes[/I] [B]The Nature of Self [/B] - [I]The Self (PC) is comprised of Body and ???. One can learn many things (ie Multiclass) and with this Knowledge have the ability to attain great power and overcome limitations [/I] [B]Religion[/B] - [I]there are many gods of varying power and involvements in everyday life[/I] [U][B]Ethics[/B] [/U] [B]Nature of Alignment:) [/B] - [I]is it absolute or relative?[/I] [B]Social Norms[/B] - [I]it is acceptable for adventurers to kick in doors and take other peoples stuff as long as other people are bad[/I] [B]Enforcement of Laws[/B] - [I]Paladins may smite evil[/I] [U][B]Aesthetics[/B][/U] [B]Social Values[/B] - [I]Orcs are ugly so must be bad, elves are pretty so must be good, except Drow[/I] [B]Customs[/B] - [i]Adventurers meet each other in Taverns and often go off into abandoned ruins[/I] [U][B]Politics[/B][/U] [B]Social Structure[/B] - [I]Feudal but not really[/I] [B]Status & Influence[/B] [I]PCs are independent of the system but Nobles always have higher status[/I] [U][B]Economics[/B] [/U] [B]Technology level [/B] - [I]Medieval/Renaisance but Magic[/I] [B]Education[/B] - [I]everyone is Literate and participates in a cash economy[/I] [B]Control of Resources[/B] - [I]Capitalism is rife even though its suppose to be feudal.
