[QUOTE="The Lemon Merchant, post: 2426451, member: 2864"] I'm the other DM TerraDave spoke about. It is possible that you could run into a player that is an expert on the area you have chosen, but in my experience I've taken the time to become pretty familiar with the area I'm using. Currently I run a campaign in the Principalities of Rus (Russia) and while I'm no expert, I know considerably more about the region that I did when I started. I have never run into an expert contesting my "creative license" after all [URL=http://www.terra-viejo.net]Terra Viejo[/URL] isn't the real Earth, it's a somewhat familiar alternate. Never been a problem. In fact real world religion has been an advantage. Religious or not, players are at least passingly familiar with the world's great religions (Christianity, Judiasim, Islam, etc.) They contain concepts/stereotypes that players can grab on to and develop in thier characters. In my experience those that were familiar with a particular religion had an even greater time with it. That's the great thing about it. Honestly can you ever really have too much information? You just have to know what you are going to need. Right now [URL=http://www.terra-viejo.net]Terra Viejo[/URL] only has Europe, the Middle East and Northern Africa developed and most of that TerraDave and I have never used. Some areas are more developed than others simply because our campaigns have been based in the regions. However, it is nice to know that the "glut" of "sourcebook" material for the campaign world I use is out there and often available for free. Yep, well sort of historical. I'm actually on my 2nd now and developing a 3rd. They are both Play by Post, you can find them on [URL=http://diamondb.proboards37.com/index.cgi]Terra Viejo's forums[/URL]. I've had nothing but good things said about the campaigns and I've enjoyed running them and plan on running them for a long time. If you want to know more about the campaign world, click the links in the above, or the one in the sig. Soon I'll actually have the SRD completely integrated with the "Players Guide to Terra Viejo" [/QUOTE]
