[QUOTE="Merlin the Tuna, post: 3835434, member: 55638"] Hommlet? Man, there are, every now and again, days that I wish I was more in tune with the older editions of D&D. Then there are days like today, when I find out that they apparently consisted of boundless creativity on the order of magnitude of wandering around the planet Oerth and visiting the small peasant village of Hommlet, where one might celebrate his mirthday by throwing a party with dizza and bandwiches. Sheesh. And people complain about WotC's names. A lot of this stuff sounds like the "DM frantically looks around the room to figure out what to name this new place" method of world building. "You walk in to the local mercenary's guild. 'Welcome to the Order of the... uh... Kettle,' the black guy at the entrance says. 'My name is... Pot?' <Shrug>" I wish there were a better way of that sounding more playful and less whippersnapperly, but eh, smileys aren't my thing. Just imagine that was all accompanied by enthusiastic use of jazz hands. In terms of the actual topic at hand though, this could be very helpful. And if Necromancer Games can publish a supplement consisting entirely of taverns and garnish praise for it, I figure that WotC can probably manage a few pages about a town without killing the game.
