[QUOTE="Dread October, post: 3751630, member: 30006"] OK how about this. Currently the PC's in your game are in a half sunken city that as near as I can tell, used to be great but is now a city with several sections claimed and walled off by various warlords and a few nobles. All that isn't currently claimed is pretty much a lawless no man's land? Is that about right) (Yes, I am one of those players but I drink and probably have ADD so I fade out a lot :)) If this is the case, then you can treat it like modern day Palestine/Lebanon. You have folks who have been in a place for X years laying a claim to part of it (Like Lebanon). Then you can have a slightly different mix of folk laying claim to a piece of it based on some war that was fought or a treaty signed that they never agreed to anyway (As in the relation ship between Syria and Lebanon). Then there can be another part with a different racial mix who just want to claim part of the region due to some resource closer to it's borders (Like Jordan and the Sea of Galilee) As we move through the area, we can not the greater number of head scarf wearing folks with rifles or the number of nonchalant humans who appear to be unaware that they live in a war zone and are clearly over confident, etc. [/QUOTE]
