[QUOTE="TrainedMunkee, post: 5285743, member: 42904"] I agree, I have found some of the "sacred cows" to be a little stale in 4e. Perhaps, it's do to the fact that I have been playing D&D for so long, or the boardgame feel that 4e has. I am not trying to start any flame wars, please don't derail this thread. Just my personal opinion. I have enjoyed roleplaying games for over thirty years now and I have found that a game is not made by it's rules, but by it's setting instead. All excellent ideas Crothian. Perhaps if you wanted the setting to be lower level you could go with non-savage Halflings and an exotic extinct civilization at higher levels. The Halfings made a mass exodus due to "the disaster" i.e. the change from green to desert Athas or they left before the disaster, due to the fact that it was foretold in prophecy that the younger races would destroy the planet. They then recreated the green moon in image of Green Athas. But, alas it is not the same and have desire for their mother planet. This sickness eats away at their souls. The prophecy has foretold the coming of a group of adventurer saviors that will save Athas and restore the planet to it's former glory. [/QUOTE]
