[QUOTE="KenSeg, post: 2424382, member: 32662"] I ran an Earth setting campaign for our group when our DM needed a six month break. I chose Earth for many of the same reasons, good maps and topography, ready made names, accents, etc. I took care of players knowing too much though by spending time redoing history and adding in AD&D monsters, magic, etc. For example: Breton encompassed what is now Great Britian, Wales and Scotland. Arthur was still on the throne, having been seduced and magically preserved by Morgana. Moved the capitals some, York became the main point of resistance and Wales was a fiefdom that was trying to work its way out under the crafty leadership of Prince Rhys. The Vatican empire controlled most of Italy and Sicily, but Venice was under the control of an arch-lich. The Carpathian Mountains hosted numerous giants, undead and the Vampire Lord Vlad. Etc, etc. As you can see, it doesn't take much to create a workable campaign that has instant recognition of the players but enough changes and mystery to make it fun playing. Have fun with your game! -KenSeg Gaming since 1978 [/QUOTE]
