And after running the World of Greyhawk + modules for years, I finally decided to make a homebrew world. My influences on that world design were always what I'd consider old school. They were out of "fashion" even in the 3e days: Greyhawk, Hyboria, Barsoom, Lankhmar.These are the fantasy worlds that speak to me, far more so than Tolkien.I actually have attempted to write this book a few times and I'd always start with campaign-specific Prestige Classes representing the world's organizations.In that respect, I initially felt the world was a great fit for 3e because it had quite a few organizations and secret societies that I felt would make good PrCs. But beyond a few class designs, that's as far as I got. So the changes would be largely mechanical I guess.I always have felt Greyhawk was the gold standard of D&D world design and while I haven't gone back and read my old boxed set or anything, my memories of what I loved about running that world have definitely informed the design of Arkara.</blockquote>
