[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 5778332, member: 1465"] Tallifer, I think I had the same understanding. By "default" I meant a setting referenced in the core books, and perhaps in the early supplements. This was done in 3ed in a mild way, and in 4ed in a stronger way. I don't think that in 3ed [I]not having [/I]that strong reference in the core to Greyhawk had resulted in newcomers feeling lost or staying away from the game. But after all, I think that we could have even less references. In 3ed the setting-specific material was only (1) deities, (2) spell names, (3) planes... what else? The only planes mentioned were actually the Plane of Shadow, the Astral Plane and the Ethereal Plane, and of course the outer planes but perhaps not that much in detail. All those are quite generic planes that are almost always present in every setting, but it should be possible to have e.g. shadow-based transportation spells without writing detailed explanations that mention which plane is used. So the only tricky part to eliminate every setting references from is deities. [/QUOTE]
